Intrepid Travel Launches 10 New Premium Walking and Trekking Experiences

As Premium, Walking and Trekking tours soar at Intrepid Travel, the tour operator has announced 10 new tours that blend all three, giving travel advisors the perfect product for clients who want the thrill of iconic hikes without sacrificing comfort.

Premium has been Intrepid’s fastest growing travel style since its 2022 launch, while its Walking and Trekking sales have surged nearly ninefold.  The new Premium Walking and Trekking trips are open for booking from 12 August 2025, with departures starting January 2026.

“In recent years we’ve seen growing demand for active travel, as well as rising interest in the elevated stays offered on our Premium trips,” said Erica Kritikides, General Manager of Experiences at Intrepid Travel.

“Our new Premium Walking and Trekking range is a natural and exciting evolution – bringing together the best of both worlds for travellers who embody Intrepid’s adventurous spirit but don’t want to compromise on comfort.”

All trips are small-group (average 10 travellers) with expert local leaders, premium handpicked accommodations and exceptional inclusions.
