Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and some friends. On that trip, they came up with the idea that perhaps others may be interested in this style of travel too. Just like that, Intrepid was born. Intrepid has come a long way since then, now giving over 100,000 travelers a year the opportunity to experience small group travel across all 7 continents. They use local transport, sleep in local accommodation from Cambodian stilt houses to Moroccan riads, and employ 100% local leaders. With three different travel styles including basix, original and comfort, themes ranging from cycling trips to family holidays, and itineraries crafted with the perfect balance of must-see sights and free time, Intrepid caters to every type of traveller no matter their age, budget or travel style. The company has grown but their mission remains the same: to change the way people see the world through sustainable, experience-rich travel

    This trip exceeded all my expectations. The small group was perfect, we were able to bypass lines, keep together as a group, or easily met up and explored on our own. I was very lucky to be placed with a charming young woman as my roomie. Our driver... Show more

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Interested in Oct 15th or Oct 22nd departure. Please verify deals on those two dates.

    I've checked over the Oct 15th departure and see that Intrepid doesn't have a sale on that departure date. They often regionalize their deals and there are no deals for North America on the 15th Oct. However they do have a special on the 22nd departure date. You will see the pricing reflected on the side of this page.

    Our Expos savings of USD$86.80 has been added to give you the total of USD$1,649.20. As mentioned our Expo sale ends of 22nd of Sept so you would need to book before then in order to get this price.

    If you would like to go ahead and book this tour simply click the "book now" button and fill in the missing information. We'll take care of the rest.
