G Adventures Announces 38 New Youth Trips

G Adventures, is offering young travellers who crave freedom, cultural connection and community new ways to see the world with the exciting addition of 38 new trips to its 18-to-Thirtysomethings travel style. The launch includes brand new destinations for this travel style, including Panama, Patagonia, Central Asia and the first stand-alone trip in Belize, making these once hard-to-reach or costly destinations more accessible than ever for young travellers. 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 has crafted itineraries that are innovative, immersive and fun. These trips don’t just allow travellers to see the world - they enable them to feel it, taste it and live it fully.

“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. 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,” says Yves Marceau, VP of product at G Adventures.

“We’re also seeing that 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. Plus, the opportunity to really understand a destination with knowledgeable chief experience officers (CEOs), as this is often their first big international trip,” he continues.

Patagonia, Chile and Argentina – G Adventures’ will be taking 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 lively Buenos Aires. This typically-expensive and remote part of the world makes it difficult for those on a budget and limited time to access it - until now. 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, all at an incredible price. 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, and often overshadowed by bigger Central American destinations, 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 incredible 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 ATM excursions and visits to ancient Mayan ruins on offer. Island-hopping and Sailing Belize: Beach Days & Starry Night

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 trips are packed with culture, community tourism and off-the-grid experiences. Sleeping in traditional Indigenous-owned huts in the San Blas islands, travellers can spend three days exploring the archipelago by boat, enjoying the pleasures of simple living and complete disconnection. With these new trips, 18-to-Thirtysomethings will also have the option to take a 27-day journey from San José to Medellín - the first time G Adventures is combining both Central and South America - ticking off Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia in one epic adventure. Panama: Sandy Beaches & San Blas Sunsets
