G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions have teamed up to offer 14 new small-group adventures that provide travelers an opportunity to “go beyond the guidebook” and deeply connect with the people and places being visited.
The newly announced trips, which will be part of the National Geographic portfolio of itineraries available through G Adventures, bring the partnership collection to 106 trips in 59 destinations.

The latest trip additions include a few new destinations such as China, South Korea, and the Stans, along with expanded itineraries to existing destinations. Expanded explorations include itineraries in mainland Greece, the Greek islands, and The Balkans.
Highlight experiences among the new itineraries include:
- Visiting the mystical submerged forests in Kazakhstan’s Kaindy Lake
- Sharing traditional meals with Kyrgyz nomads and Tajik breadmakers in rural village
- Visiting South Korea’s Haenyeo women divers on Jeju Island, some of whom are in their eighties and freedive up to 10m for shellfish
- Hiking China’s Zhangjiajie National Park and bamboo rafting through Yangshuo
- Experiencing the glowing altars, lively parades, and candlelit cemeteries during Mexico’s famous Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead).
In addition, two new ‘National Geographic Family Journeys with G Adventures’ trips will take families to Egypt and Portugal for the first time.
The family trips are designed for parents, children and extended families who value time together.
Activities are curated to be enjoyed by everyone in the family, with each trip featuring hands-on learning, from interactive food tours and cruises along the Nile in Egypt, to surf lessons and e-bike adventures in Portugal.
“We’re celebrating 10 years of collaboration with our friends at National Geographic Expeditions and are delighted to be embarking on another ten-year journey of adventures together, Ben Perlo, chief executive officer at G Adventures, said in a statement.
“What started as a shared vision and an opportunity in the group travel market, has grown into a collection of truly life-changing experiences, whose positive ripple effects can be felt by local people, wildlife and destinations all around the world,” Perlo added.
Itinerary lengths for the National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures trips range from eight to longer 23-days. The first departures for both travel styles starting in April 2026.
