G Adventures & NatGeo Expeditions to Offer 14 New Immersive Trips for 2026

G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions are offering curious travellers new ways to explore the world with the addition of 14 small-group adventures to the portfolio of National Geographic trips with G Adventures. 

The big addition takes the collection to 106 itineraries in 59 destinations. 

Twelve of the new trips will include exciting new destinations, including China, South Korea, and the ‘Stans as well as expanded itineraries in mainland Greece, the Greek islands, The Balkans and Mexico’s popular Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. 

Two new ‘National Geographic Family Journeys with G Adventures’ trips will take families to Egypt and Portugal for the first time, with first departures for both travel styles starting from April 2026.

The National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures trips range from eight-day to longer, 23-day itineraries. G Adventures says the trips are designed to take travellers beyond the guidebook and enable them to connect deeply with the people and places they visit. 

Celebrating National Geographic’s legacy of science, exploration, education and storytelling, every trip will offer hands-on experiences while also supporting G Adventures’ community tourism mission, providing travellers with the opportunity to connect meaningfully with local communities. 

Highlight experiences include:

• Visiting the mystical submerged forests in Kazakhstan’s Kaindy Lake.
• Sharing traditional meals with Kyrgyz nomads and Tajik breadmakers in rural villages. 
• Meeting South Korea’s Haenyeo women divers on Jeju Island, some of whom are in their eighties and freedive up to 10m for shellfish.
• Hiking China’s Zhangjiajie National Park and bamboo rafting through Yangshuo.
• Experiencing the glowing altars, lively parades, and candlelit cemeteries during Mexico’s Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead).

The new National Geographic Family Journeys are designed for parents, children and extended families who value time together. Activities are curated to be enjoyed by everyone in the family, with each trip featuring hands-on learning, from interactive food tours and cruises along the Nile in Egypt, to surf lessons and e-bike adventures in Portugal. 

“We’re celebrating 10 years of collaboration with our friends at National Geographic Expeditions and are delighted to be embarking on another ten-year journey of adventures together,” said Ben Perlo, chief executive officer at G Adventures.

“What started as a shared vision and an opportunity in the group travel market has grown into a collection of truly life-changing experiences whose positive ripple effects can be felt by local people, wildlife and destinations all around the world.”
