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 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.

  • Who are my travel companions?

    G Adventures cannot provide you with advance details on your traveling companions for privacy reasons.
