Escorted Tours

Let’s make 2026 a good one

It’s a good time of year at Intrepid, when new trips and experiences arrive and we start dreaming up fresh ways to see the world. And really, staying with reindeer herders in Mongolia or hiking between Zapotec communities in Oaxaca isn’t something we want to mention in passing.

That’s why we’ve wrapped all this newness into The Goods, a campaign celebrating the very best of what’s new for 2026. We sent writers out into the field to experience these journeys first-hand, then organised them into themes that matter to travellers like you.

Whether you’re seeking something offbeat, active, or purpose-driven, you’ll find experiences here that go deeper, connecting you with people, culture and place in truly meaningful ways.

With 26 brand-new trips launching for 2026, this year’s collection showcases some of our most exciting adventures yet.

 
Featured New Trips for 2026
Mongolia Expedition: Reindeer Herders
Venture deep into Mongolia’s taiga and live alongside the Tsaatan reindeer herders, gaining rare insight into a nomadic way of life few travellers ever experience.

Kyrgyzstan: Trekking the Tien Shan Trails
Hike through the foothills of the Tien Shan Mountains, following ancient trails across breathtaking alpine landscapes.

Explore Faroe Islands
From land to sea, discover the dramatic scenery, rich culture and resilient communities of the Faroe Islands.

Get the goods and discover what’s new for 2026.
