Profile

Over the past 130 years, we've sent our scientists, storytellers, and adventurers across continents and into remote cultures, down to the ocean's depths and up the highest mountains in an effort to better understand our planet. National Geographic Expeditions grew from the legacy as a way to invite others to explore - to encounter the wonders of the world up close, in depth, right at the source, and to be transformed by the experience. 

When you travel with us, you gain access to people and places. You're enriched by the knowledge of our experts and guides, and by local experts we meet along the way. And you give back. Simply by taking a trip with National Geographic, you support the work of our explorers and researchers. That is the National Geographic Difference.
