Story

G Adventures started in 1990 by Bruce Poon Tip. He had the belief that other travelers would want to share the experiences and authentic adventures of travel, in a responsible and sustainable way. Back then it was just a one-man show, and now it has grown to a company of over 1250 people worldwide. Originally just a few trips around Latin America, there is now hundreds of trips on offer around the world! Since its first days back in the 90s, there have now been over 100,000 travelers who have seen new sights, gained new experiences, and made new friends. While things may have changed a bit over that time, the core values are the same; Authentic experiences and sustainable travel.

G Adventures Benefits

Like Minded Groups
G Adventures offers its adventures to people from all over the world, allowing you to travel with a variety of people who have a world of different experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and stories to tell. Together you can seek out new experiences, make lifelong friendships, and see new places, all with other like-minded travelers.

Solo Travelers Welcome!
If you’re travelling solo, you’ll fit right in, as on average, about half the people on a G Adventures tour are also solo travelers. Age and travel experience are not important, because in your G Adventures group you will be among good company. As well as the other group members, your group will have its own Chief Experience Officer (CEO). These experts will make sure your trip is full of local insight, great experiences, and they will do everything they can to enrich your travels.

Keep Costs Down
Even if you are travelling solo, G Adventures will help keep costs down by partnering you up with a same-sex roommate. This way you ensure you are paying the same as everyone else. If you would like to have a room to yourself, that’s also fine - G Adventures can arrange this at an extra cost.

Freedom To Explore
G Adventures knows that when travelling, a sense of Freedom is important. They make sure that all the important plans are in place to give your trip structure and direction, but allowing you the freedom to do as you wish while on your travels.

    Either get in contact with us, or go to the relavant tour page and select the 'hold my seat for 48 hours' option.

  • What does "Holding an Option" mean?

    It gives you time to research flights, gather passport information, confirm arrangements with travel partners, etc. Holding an option is reserving a space without payment for up to 48 hours. which means your reserved spot(s) will be released unless you confirm your booking within 48 hours.

  • Why is it not possible to add extra services to a file within 10 days of departure?

    Tips are not included in the tour price and it is entirely at your discretion.

    G Adventure spends your money providing an authentic experience, instead of on lavish hotels and expensive western-style meals and pass these savings on to you with their prices. While the adventures don't include absoloutely everything, you will get to see the major highlights and attractions of the destination you are visiting.

  • Who are my travel companions?

    G Adventures cannot provide you with advance details on your traveling companions for privacy reasons. Their adventures are conducted in English and so they attract many travellers from North America, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. You can also download G Adventures free App to meet other travellers and get chatting before you set off on your adventure.

    In most cases G Adventures use public transportation. However, some of their adventures, including their “Superior”, "Comfort Class" and most adventures in Africa, use private transportation.

    It is recommended that you arrange a taxi on arrival as most of G Adventures tours do not include airport transfers. Please get in touch to enquire about the additional costs for pre-arranged airport transfers.

  • Can I deviate from the tour?

    It's extremely difficult if not impossible to join a tour after it has begun. It is possible to leave a tour early however you will be responsible for your own arrangements from the moment you decide to leave the tour. You would also be responsible for all costs associated with joining a tour late or leaving one early. If you feel this may be necessary please contact us and we can advise on the best way to do this.

    It is recommended to pack as light as possible however the specific requirements of the tour will vary depending on when and where you are travelling.

  • What are the recommended vaccinations for the tour?
