G Believes in Responsible Travel

How do you envision our world in 50 years? G-Adventures efforts in sustainability as an organization reflects on their commitment to the idea that these planets’ children and grandchildren will have a wonderful natural environment to explore throughout their lives. G’s role as a company is to ensure that they’re giving back more to the communities and the natural surroundings that they help you to visit than what is being taken away in your travels. Preserving the cultural heritage and conserving and replenishing the natural environment, while improving the lives of local people, is the essence of G’s way of traveling and is integrated into every decision and action they take.

G OFFERS LIFETIME DEPOSITS!

G-Adventures understands that travel plans can change and sometimes you are unexpectedly delayed, and G has listened to your feedback and established an innovative new level of customer service and flexibility designed to ensure that if you need to cancel or delay a trip, you’ll be able to find another time to take your next, great life-changing adventure.

The Lifetime Deposit policy allows you to save your initial deposit (one per person, per confirmed tour) for an unlimited time, be it 10 weeks or 10 years. Put simply, G wants to do the right thing by their travelers to ensure you can still take another trip if your plans must change.

The Vast Amount of Destinations G Visits – You May Ask, Is There Anywhere They Don’t Go?

G Adventures destinations are vast, wide, bottomless, and limitless, as their motto is “Welcome to Earth”, the universe’s #1 travel destination. There’s more to see, do, touch, smell, and taste on this wondrous little rock than we could possibly cover here, but one thing’s for sure, G says: Wherever you’re headed, they’re already there.

Tour Asia: Everything, everywhere, all at once, all the time

Sum up touring Asia in a paragraph? Good luck. Positively massive by just about every measure, the sole thread that unites this diverse continent is the sheer diversity of experiences it presents to you. Arid deserts and towering peaks; secluded temples and bustling markets; tiny villages and sprawling cities; ancient history and cutting-edge modernity; teeming crowds and places so remote you won’t find another human being around for miles—Asia encompasses all this and so, so, so much more. Don’t expect to absorb it all; dive on in and let it seep into your skin.

European Tours – Urban and rural, ancient and modern, ordinary and extraordinary

In terms of pure convenience, no continent can touch Europe’s diversity. With so many countries, cultures, languages, and varieties of cuisine packed into such a comparatively tiny place, you can spend a week in Europe and experience something wildly different every day. All that variety can be overwhelming, but the secret to getting the most out of Europe is to take it slow. The Old World has stood for centuries, and it’ll all still be here when you’re ready to come back (which, of course, you’ll want to do immediately after getting home.)

South America – A land awash in ancient history, mind-boggling landscapes, entrancing culture, and non-stop fun.

A land awash in ancient history, mind-boggling landscapes, entrancing culture, and non-stop fun. The colossal peaks of Patagonia and the Andes beg to be climbed, while the enveloping rainforest that surrounds the mighty Amazon seems designed to be explored. Along the way, reminders of the Inca, the conquistadors, and others who came before dotting the landscape, and the intoxicating pull of the vibrant cities are never far away. The time of your life awaits… All you have to do is explore it.

Africa Safari – The most out-there tour anywhere on this Planet

Its name means “sunny place” in the Berber tongue, but “Africa” may as well be a synonym for “vastness.” A truly massive continent comprising over 20% of the planet’s available land, Africa is home to the world’s largest desert, its longest river, its hottest temperatures, and hundreds of dialects and cultures spread among a billion people. But as mind-boggling as it seems at first, you’ll be amazed at how intimate it feels once you get to know it. This is adventure’s last great frontier. Go and blaze some trails.

Central America & the Caribbean – Be Smack Dab in the Middle of Everything

A skinny belt of countries and islands connecting two much larger continents, Central America and the Caribbean don’t look like much on the map. But looks have never been more deceiving: enveloping rainforest teeming with all manner of wildlife; cloud-shrouded volcanoes; charming colonial towns; mysterious Mayan ruins; and mile upon glorious mile of white-sand beaches await travelers curious enough to come looking for them. And as much fun as they are to explore by day, these lands truly come alive at night – often to the beat of salsa, calypso, or reggae. These places may be unfamiliar, but now’s the best time to get introduced.

North Africa and the Middle East – Where Magic is Real, and This is Where it Comes From

As the birthplace of three of the world’s major religions – Christianity, Islam, and Judaism – there’s something inherently spiritual about North Africa and the Middle East. You can feel it everywhere; in the ancient temples and mosques, in the intoxicating aromas of the bazaars and souks, even in the stunning mountains and red-and-ochre dunescapes that surround cities that have stood since the dawn of time. And while the past is your constant companion in this part of the world, there’s plenty of room to write some history of your own.

North America – Experience the Lands of Opportunity

A bountiful land of eye-popping landscapes, sprawling cities, and adventure at every turn, North America combines the wonders of nature and man together into an unbeatable package. Out in the wilds, you’ll encounter forests of towering trees, sun-blasted deserts, mountains that scrape the heavens themselves, and loads of sparkling lakes and rivers. Meanwhile, the cities teem with all manner of sensory delights, from cutting-edge music and art to caught-that-morning seafood and burgers as big as your head. These are the lands of plenty, and there’s always enough for seconds (or thirds).

Australia & New Zealand – The wonder from Down Under

A massive swath of the South Pacific dotted with islands both huge and minuscule, Oceania is a region simultaneously divided and united by the sea. The coastlines of Australia and New Zealand – the largest nations down in this part of the world – are legendary and endless, but it’s what goes on inland that really makes these places special. Cosmopolitan cities, mist-shrouded volcanoes, vast deserts, and isolated communities populated with some of the most interesting people you’ll find anywhere await. There’s no place like this place anyplace, and they can’t wait to prove it to you.
