G Adventures Unveils 38 New Trips for 18-to-Thirtysomethings

G Adventures is offering young travellers new ways to see the world with the addition of 38 new trips to its 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel style. 

The company says the new itineraries are designed for young travellers who crave freedom, cultural connection and community. The launch includes brand new destinations for this travel style, including Panama, Patagonia, Central Asia and the first stand-alone trip in Belize.

The expansion also includes itineraries in existing favourites, including India and Indonesia, offering fresh ways to experience these culturally-rich countries.  

With Gen Z and millennial travellers seeking adventurous, culturally rich experiences that offer both the freedom of solo travel and the opportunity to make new friends through shared experiences, G Adventures says it has crafted itineraries that are 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.

“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 said 75% of Canadian travellers booking 18-to-Thirtysomethings trips are solo travellers, and they really appreciate the social aspect and security that comes with a group. 

Here are some highlights of the new itineraries:

Patagonia, Chile and Argentina – G Adventures’ will take young travellers to the wild landscapes of Patagonia for the first time, with four 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 Buenos Aires. 

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. By combining itineraries, travellers can take epic trips through even more of South America. Patagonia: Turquoise Lakes & Torres del Paine.

Belize – It’s often regarded as the most expensive Central American country to travel in, but these new itineraries celebrate all Belize has to offer; from the world’s second-largest barrier reef and Mayan ruins to beaches and jungle, at an affordable price. Bringing the magic of Caribbean to life and perfect for ocean lovers, travellers can take an epic six-day trip from Caye Caulker to Hopkins, with three days hopping around isolated islands, swimming and snorkelling 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 travellers 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.

The Stans – G Adventures says it is the first major youth operator to offer affordable trips through four Central Asian countries: Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. These four new trips are ideal for history buffs and off-the-beaten-path explorers, opening a raw and remote part of the world to younger travellers, with itineraries that include yurt stays, canyon hikes, alpine lakes and Silk Road cities. The Stans: The Ultimate Adventure through the Silk Road.

Panama – With time in the San Blas Islands and stays with Indigenous Guna communities, bike rides along the beach, chocolate experiences and rainforest adventures, these five new Panama trips are packed with culture, community tourism and off-the-grid experiences. Panama: Sandy Beaches & San Blas Sunsets.
