With over 70 new tours, Intrepid Premium will set out to be a more sustainable choice for high-end adventures. The Premium range features Intrepid’s highest standard accommodation, exceptional on-trip experiences and is designed to minimise your environmental footprint while maximising your impact on local communities
Intrepid Travel, the world’s leading sustainable tour operator, has introduced a new range of tours called Intrepid Premium. The collection of tours appeals to discerning travellers, featuring hand-picked accommodations, private transportation, train journeys and an array of signature experiences exclusively available on Premium tours. With over 70 new trips available for departures starting in January 2022, Intrepid Premium gives travellers a more sustainable choice for high-end adventures.
The Intrepid Premium range spans across over 40 countries. Every itinerary includes a feature stay and signature experience that will not be available on any other Intrepid trips. Feature stays range from a cave hotel in Cappadocia, Turkey to an eco-lodge in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Signature experiences include a sand dune dinner under the stars in Pushkar, India and a community stay in Peru that includes a visit with the Ese Eja peoples, an indigenous community considered the stewards of the Peruvian rainforest. The Premium tours will also be led by Intrepid’s most experienced leaders and destination experts.
As the world’s largest travel B Corp, and the only tour operator in the world with verified science-based climate targets, responsible travel will be a core focus of Intrepid Premium trips. Most accommodations are locally owned and many of the properties use renewable and alternative energy sources. A selection of trips will also visit social enterprise projects that are working to promote gender equality, animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and economic empowerment. As with all Intrepid Travel tours, the Premium range is 100% carbon offset and designed to have a low environmental footprint and a positive impact on local communities.
Intrepid Premium will appeal to Australians and New Zealanders whose travel plans have been curtailed by the pandemic.

The Premium product range has been developed over the past 6 months as Intrepid continues to reimagine their business for a post-pandemic world. The premium product strongly aligns with Intrepid’s focus on rebuilding responsibly, as many global travellers who are searching for a more comfortable adventure travel experience now have the choice of a more sustainable option.
