As a new year approaches, adventure operator G Adventures has announced more than 20 new ‘Classic’ and ‘Active’ style tours in destinations around the world.

With so much more of the world accessible since 2020, G Adventures says it is confident that 2023 is going to be a big year for adventure travel.

The new adventures range from four to 12 days, and while the range of new trips is diverse, G Adventures says they all share the company’s commitment to local cultural experiences and to ensuring the local communities visited benefit from hosting travellers.

David Green, managing director for G Adventures in Canada, says the new trips offer novel ways to see some of the company’s most popular locations as the operator’s program expands for the first time since the pandemic.

“Our new Classic trips offer even more immersive, authentic experiences to travellers that give back to local communities, and our new Active trips capitalize on the continued post-pandemic trend to get out in nature," says Green.
