G Adventures is taking young travelers on an exciting new journey with the introduction of 30 fresh itineraries in its 18-to-Thirtysomethings collection. These new trips cater to cost-conscious adventurers looking for immersive experiences around the world. With a mix of outdoor thrills, cultural encounters, and off-the-beaten-path destinations, the latest offerings promise meaningful exploration and lifelong memories.
One of the standout additions is a 39-day trip through Australia and New Zealand, offering adrenaline-pumping outdoor activities. Travelers will have the chance to surf along Australia’s pristine coastlines, experience whitewater rafting, and embark on a glacial hike in New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes. A particularly unique experience includes a kangaroo trek in Arrawarra, where participants can observe these iconic animals in their natural coastal bush habitat.
For those drawn to East Asia, a 15-day Korea-Japan itinerary from Seoul to Kyoto presents a mix of modern and traditional experiences. The journey starts in Seoul, where travelers will take part in a K-pop dance class, immersing themselves in South Korea’s globally influential pop culture. A visit to Jeju Island offers a rare chance to witness the haenyeo, women divers some in their 80s who practice an ancient tradition of free-diving for seafood.
Crossing into Japan, the tour explores major cultural hubs like Tokyo, Takayama, and Kyoto, allowing travelers to visit historic temples and gain deeper insight into the country’s rich history. Whether it’s the bright neon streets of Tokyo or the serene gardens of Kyoto, this trip blends the past and present beautifully.
G Adventures also brings adventurers to Bosnia-Herzegovina with a seven-day itinerary filled with outdoor escapades. Nature lovers can swim beneath the stunning Kravica Waterfall, enjoy a sunset safari to observe wild horses, and take a dip in the Buna River. Thrill-seekers will have the opportunity to experience whitewater rafting on the Neretva River and hike through the Rakitnica Canyon, a hidden gem for hikers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Another fascinating journey is the seven-day Albania-Corfu adventure, which introduces travelers to Albania’s rugged landscapes and traditional culture. This trip offers a glimpse into Albanian mountain life, where participants can learn to cook traditional cuisine, visit the foothills of the Albanian Alps, and explore a Byzantine monastery. A hike to a shepherd outpost in Himare provides an authentic experience of the region’s pastoral traditions.
According to G Adventures, these tours are designed to offer more than just sightseeing. “For this age group, traveling the world is about so much more than topping up a tan or relaxing on a beach, although those elements can be a bonus,” the company said in its announcement. “It’s about exploration, discovery, and forging friendships in unusual places – it’s something that can be fresh and fun while also being meaningful and insightful.”
With these new itineraries, G Adventures continues to cater to young travelers who seek adventure, cultural immersion, and personal growth all while making lifelong connections in remarkable destinations. Whether it’s trekking through Australian outback, embracing Korean pop culture, or rafting in Bosnia, these trips offer once-in-a-lifetime experiences for adventurous souls.
