Intrepid Travel has unveiled more than 80 new tours for 2027 across its Walking & Trekking, Cycling, Wildlife, Explorer, Expedition, Short Breaks, Family, and 18-35s categories. The expanded portfolio includes 50 new destinations, responding to growing demand for lesser-known places, closer-to-home travel experiences, and options designed around different ages, interests, and travel styles.

When it comes to closer-to-home travel options, Intrepid has added four new destinations, including Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region, Matagalpa in Nicaragua, Canada’s Yukon territory, and several new regions across Mexico.

This comes as U.S. bookings within the U.S., Canada, and Central America are already seeing growth into 2027, with Canada trips seeing particularly strong demand at +46% year-on-year. Five of the new trips also feature Indigenous-led experiences, helping travelers connect more deeply with local cultures and communities within the region. 

More broadly, the new trips for 2027 cater to a wider range of travelers, with the introduction of 15 new family trips and tailored itineraries for younger, more budget-conscious travelers.

Active and nature-based travel also remains a core focus for Intrepid, with new walking and trekking trips in Spain and Sri Lanka, cycling adventures in New Zealand and Rwanda, and unique wildlife experiences across South Africa, Namibia and Kenya.

“Travelers are looking for more meaningful ways to explore, whether that’s discovering lesser-known places, traveling close-to-home, getting out in nature, or finding experiences that fit different life stages and interests,” said Erica Kritikides, general manager of experiences at Intrepid Travel  “Developed in close collaboration with our local teams, our new trips respond to these evolving preferences, offering immersive experiences for travelers while helping to spread the benefits of responsible tourism more widely across local communities.”
