Calling all young travelers who crave freedom, cultural connection, fun, and community.
G Adventures has just added a slate of nearly 40 new trips in its 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel category, including several totally new destinations that are traditionally hard-to-reach or costly to visit.
First-up, the new destinations. Those include Panama, Patagonia, Central Asia and the first stand-alone trip in Belize. All of these locations have traditionally been considered either hard-to-reach or costly to explore.
The expansive new slate of trips also includes fresh itineraries for some existing, culturally-rich countries, such as India and Indonesia. “These affordable, high-impact adventures are built for connection, independence and real local impact, without breaking the bank,” G Adventures said in a press release.
All of the new itineraries, whether they’re new destinations entirely, or simply a different look at an existing favorite, are crafted to be innovative, immersive and fun.
“We’ve seen that this demographic craves dynamic, activity-packed trips and cultural thrills, and that they spend a lot of time using and getting inspired by TikTok and Instagram,” said Yves Marceau, VP of product at G Adventures.
“We’re opening up destinations that have traditionally been difficult or expensive to travel to, and are doing so in a really unique and innovative way, with incredible community-run accommodations, multi-day island hopping itineraries and activities that celebrate not only the place, but the people who live there,” Marceau added.
Here’s a closer look at some of the new offerings.

Patagonia, Chile and Argentina
G Adventures’ will take young travelers to the wild landscapes of Patagonia for the first time, with four trip options to choose from, ranging from a nine-day Patagonia highlights trip to an epic 16-day adventure journeying from Santiago, to Southern Patagonia and ending in lively Buenos Aires.
This typically-expensive and remote part of the world makes it difficult for those on a budget and limited time to access it – until now.
New adventures will tick off the must-see highlights from sleeping under the stars in Torres Del Paine National Park to visiting the towering glaciers of El Calafate, all at an incredible price. By combining itineraries, travellers can take epic trips through even more of South America. Patagonia: Turquoise Lakes & Torres del Paine starts from $2,799 per person.

Belize
Belize is often regarded as the most expensive Central American country to visit. On top of that, it’s also typically overshadowed by bigger Central American destinations.
But the new G Adventures itineraries to Belize will celebrate all that the country has to offer; from the world’s second-largest barrier reef and Mayan ruins to beaches and jungle.
Belize also offers a notable alternative short-break destination for US travelers seeking options beyond Mexico.
The new Belize trips from G Adventures aim to bring the magic of Caribbean to life.
Itinerary options include a six-day trip from Caye Caulker to Hopkins, with three days hopping around isolated islands, swimming and snorkeling with the reef’s diverse marine life before pitching tents and sleeping on the pristine island beaches.
For those wanting longer, a two-day add-on takes travelers to the jungle of San Ignacio, with tubing excursions and visits to ancient Mayan ruins on offer. Island-hopping and Sailing Belize: Beach Days & Starry Night starts from $1,099 per person.
