G Adventures is offering young travelers 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 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 travelers. The expansion also includes itineraries in existing favorites, including India and Indonesia, offering fresh ways to experience these culturally rich countries. These affordable, high-impact adventures are built for connection, independence and real local impact, without breaking the bank.
With Gen Z and millennial travelers seeking dynamic, 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.
“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 73 percent of travelers booking 18-to-Thirtysomethings trips are solo travelers (that number jumps to 83 percent for US bookings), 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. The data is based on global bookings made between August 1, 2024 and July 31, 2025.
Here are a few highlights of the new itineraries:
- “Patagonia: Turquoise Lakes & Torres del Paine” – G Adventures will be taking young travelers 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 a 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, travelers can take epic trips through even more of South America.
- “Island-hopping and Sailing Belize: Beach Days & Starry Night” – 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. It’s also a great alternative short-break destination for U.S. travelers seeking an alternative to Mexico. Bringing the magic of Caribbean to life and perfect for ocean lovers, travelers can take a six-day trip from Caye Caulker to Hopkins, with three days hopping around isolated islands, swimming and snorkeling with the reef’s diverse marine life before pitching tents and sleeping on the island beaches. A two-day add-on takes travelers to the jungle of San Ignacio, with tubing excursions and visits to ancient Mayan ruins on offer.
- “The Stans: The Ultimate Adventure through the Silk Road” – G Adventures is the first major youth operator to offer affordable trips through four Central Asian countries: Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. In other travel styles, G Adventures has seen a 57 percent increase in bookings for Uzbekistan and 30 percent increase in 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 travelers, with itineraries that include yurt stays, canyon hikes, alpine lakes and Silk Road cities.
- “Panama: Sandy Beaches & San Blas Sunsets” – 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, travelers 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.
