You know you’re an Intrepid traveller when…
You’re not looking for the “standard” travel experience. You love to revel in the things that make every place unique.
Comfort is important to you, but you’re not looking for private coach buses or 5-star resorts away from it all.
It’s the heart of travel that inspires you, and the reason you’ve been looking for more sustainable ways to explore the world.
If that’s you, there’s a new style of adventure travel waiting for you as soon as you’re ready to get back out into the world: Intrepid Premium tours!
What is Intrepid Premium?
Every Intrepid Premium trip includes 4-star local accommodations for your comfort, plus a Feature Stay that takes your trip from great to outstanding. Think: riverboat hotel on the Nile or a palace in Jaipur.
Each Premium itinerary also features an exceptional experience you won’t find on any other Intrepid tour, like getting to know a Ugandan Park Ranger over dinner and learning how they care for the park’s gorilla population.
You’ll enjoy extra inclusions like arrival transfers, daily breakfast, luggage transport, and included tipping.
But the best part of all? Intrepid Premium tours are designed and led by Intrepid’s most experienced destination experts. And with an average trip size of only 10 travellers, you’ll have all the time in the world to soak up their know-how.
A Sustainable Way to Travel
Like all Intrepid trips, Premium itineraries are 100% carbon offset. They also support local economies by employing local leaders and partnering with locally owned businesses. You won’t find any non-essential flights or transit flights under 45 minutes, but you will find accommodations and experiences that are socially and ecologically sustainable throughout Intrepid’s Premium collection.
