Bring on the world with small group travel.

Who is G Adventures?

We’re one of the world’s leading small group adventure travel companies and we’ve been that way for more than 30 years. Not that we’re counting or anything.

With over 800 oh-so-immersive trips across all seven continents, we literally go everywhere on the planet, and we’ve got every type of adventure under the sun too.

Heart-pumping trips that’ll get you moving. Marine-based trips that’ll have you cruising. And even fancy trips that’ll have you swooning.

Our trips are absolutely a huge amount of fun — but it doesn’t stop there. Wherever we go, we’re committed to giving back to the people and places we visit. We call this “Community Tourism”, and it’s at the core of everything we do.

With us, you really can change the world just by having the time of your life. So if that sounds like your kind of travel, we’ve got one thing to ask… Where to next?

Why G Adventures?

Six ways our trips will change your world

1. Guides so good we call them CEOs

With superhuman-level of local knowledge, never-ending enthusiasm, and problem-solving skills worthy of a Nobel Prize, our legendary Chief Experience Officers, aka CEOs, are (in our totally unbiased opinion) the best guides on the planet.

2. Small groups, lots of passports

Our small groups keep you feeling connected: to the places you’re exploring, and the group-mates by your side. And because our travelers are from all over the planet, you’ll discover the world just by who you’re travelling it with.

3. As ungrouped as it gets

Group travel doesn’t have to feel like group travel. Our trips combine the security and camaraderie of travelling with others, with free time and flexible itineraries for doing your own thing.

4. Immersive experiences are how we roll

On our trips, you’re not just eating local cuisine or watching a traditional dance from the sidelines. We get you in the action; like breaking bread with local families right in their homes, or busting moves with the dance troupe yourself.

5. Giving back has never been so fun

Our trips don’t just change you, but the rest of the world, too. We call it “Community Tourism”, and it means you can feel good knowing your holiday is constantly giving back to the people you meet, the places you go, and the planet itself.

6. Travel Styles galore

Whether you’re a seasoned explorer, a hostel-loving 20-something, or a young family looking for their first adventure, our Travel Styles make it easy to browse our 700+ trips and find the one that fits you just right.
