23 new travel experiences for 2023 

It’s a new year, and that can only mean one thing: it’s time for another adventure.  

In 2023, we’re here to help travellers get off the beaten track and forge meaningful connections with local people, while making a positive impact on the places they visit. From sharing special moments with First Nations communities and supporting anti-poaching efforts and animal conservation to remote treks through untouched wilderness, here’s our super selection of new and improved experiences that feel good and do good. 

1. Go beyond the obvious in Bosnia and Herzegovina  

Intrepid has partnered with USAID to support sustainable tourism development in Bosnia and Herzegovina  – showing travellers a surprising side of this underrated country on a brand-new expedition , departing for the first time in May 2023. 

2. Shop for souvenirs that protect endangered wildlife in Zambia  

On our Vic Falls to Stone Town trip (and its reversed itinerary ), you’ll have the chance to visit Mulberry Mongoose, an incredible woman-run workshop and boutique that directly benefits local people and wildlife by turning poachers’ snare wire into beautiful jewellery. 

3. Get more out of Morocco when you explore with bikes and hikes  

Saddle up to see Morocco beyond the medinas on the brand new nine-day Morocco: Hike and Bike round-trip from Marrakech. Nailing the perfect balance of active adventure and cultural exploration, this route takes you along old caravan routes, braking for excursions off the tourist trail into the Atlas Mountains and around oasis villages. 

4. Get crafty with local community members in Guatemala   

Wrap up your Real Central America adventure with a trip to San Juan La Laguna, on the shores of Lake Atitlan. Stay with a local Mayan family, explore a local medicinal garden and learn traditional Mayan weaving and dyeing tecnniques at a textile workshop. 

5. Explore the culinary capital of Mexico with a local chef  

In Oaxaca, on our revamped Mexico Real Food Adventure , you can now join a local chef on a food market tour and get insider tips while learning to make traditional dishes such as mole and tlayudas. 

6. Swap Machu Picchu for a trek along the less-touristed Great Inca Road  

You might have done the Inca Trail, but did you know it’s part of a vast ancient road network spanning thousands of kilometres? On our new 12-day Trek the Great Inca Road trip , you’ll hike along a less touristed section of the trail, through the Peruvian Andes, to the incredible Inca site of Huanuco Pampa. 

7. Explore untouched wilderness in Comoros  

This lesser-known African island nation is home to some of the world’s richest marine biodiversity. On our brand new nine-day wildlife expedition you’ll have the chance to spot humpback whales and spinner dolphins, watch sea turtles nest and snorkel among manta rays, parrot fish and reef sharks along vibrant coral reefs. 

8. Bridge the generation gap in Vienna  

During our Highlights of Central Europe trip, stop by one of Vienna’s most innovative cafés to recharge with a hot drink and a big slab of homemade cake in a cosy, living room setting.  Vollpension employs the elderly to bake their best recipes – simultaneously satisfying hungry customers while helping tackle loneliness and poverty among the older generation. 

9. Blaze a (sort of) new trail in Bhutan  

After a four-year restoration project, 400 years of history have been brought back to life on the newly launched Trans Bhutan Trail . Follow in the footsteps of traders and monks as you venture through Bhutan’s untouched landscapes. 

10. Meet women weaving for sustainability in Cambodia   

Take your teens to Cambodia and pay a visit to not-for-profit Rokhak, a centre where local women turn an invasive species of water hyacinth into beautiful and sustainable bags, baskets and rugs. Watch them weave their magic, have a go yourself, and learn how the centre is empowering local women . 

11. Heed the call of the mountains in Pakistan  

Long-touted as the ‘next big thing’ in adventure travel, Pakistan remains under most people’s travel radars. But with our new 15-day expedition , we’re hoping to change that. 

12. Take a walk on the wild side of the Great Ocean Roa d 

On our new Great Ocean Road and Grampians Adventure you’ll spend a morning at Wildlife Wonders, a Conservation Ecology Centre in Apollo Bay. Learn about the challenges facing local wildlife on an expert-guided bushwalk, while keeping watch for koalas, kangaroos and colourful cockatoos. 

13. Mingle with Terraba community members in Costa Rica   

On our Best of Costa Rica adventure, you’ll rub shoulders with the local Terraba community, learning how they’ve lived off the land for more than 500 years. Get hands-on with a traditional wooden mask carving workshop before tucking into a home-cooked lunch with your hosts. 

14. Encounter endangered mountain gorillas in Uganda  

Our refreshed Remarkable Rwanda & Gorillas of Uganda trip features more wildlife experiences than ever. The itinerary reads like a who’s who of the animal kingdom and includes an incredible hour with endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. 

15. Visit Palestine’s sustainable brewery  

Once you’ve wolfed down a metric tonne of hummus, falafel, knafeh and more in Israel and the Palestinian Territories , you’ll want something refreshing to help wash it all down. Enter Taybeh Brewing Company , the only brewery in the State of Palestine.  Join us on a Real Food Adventure through Israel & The Palestinian Territories to give them a try. 

16. Sail the Adriatic Sea off Montenegro  

Sail down a less touristed stretch of the Adriatic Sea along Montenegro’s coast on the new 8-day Montenegro Sailing Adventure from Dubrovnik . Hop aboard a private yacht with a handful of new first mates and pop into bays and seaside villages from to Dubrovnik to Budva and back, while dining on fresh seafood and diving into daily swims. 

17. Explore an underrated region in Italy  

Italy is hardly ‘off the beaten track’ – just look at Rome’s Colosseum or Venice’s waterfront in the peak of summer. But that’s all the more reason to seek out its quieter corners. Umbria may not have the flair of Florence or the glamour of Milan, but its medieval towns, farmstays and distinct regional cuisine will show you a different, quieter side of Italy. 

18. See another side of Yosemite National Park – with snowshoes  

Get a totally different look at Yosemite National Park on our four-day winter hiking and snowshoeing trip . You’ll see this rock climber’s paradise in a new light on hikes and snowshoe walks, and spend each night in the rustic comforts of a fully outfitted Airstream trailer in the snow-blanketed silence of one of the world’s great national parks. 

19. Experience the height of adventure in Tibet and Nepal  

Take one of the world’s most scenic train rides, hike past snowy peaks, meditate with a local monk, learn how to make momos and share lunch in a Tibetan family’s home on this spirit-lifting journey to the roof of the world . 

20. Walk in the footsteps of the world’s oldest culture In Australia  

Lace up your comfiest walking shoes to traverse the incredible landscapes of southeast Queensland on our Walk Queensland’s Scenic Rim adventure. Connect with Country during a traditional smoking ceremony to cleanse and ward off bad spirits and gain a better understanding of the ancient culture directly from the Land’s traditional owners. 

21. Slow down with a stroll through the Western Balkans  

Hike past glacial lakes, pine forests and hills full of wild horses as you pass through Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Albania on our brand-new Hiking the Balkans: Via Dinarica trip.  

22. Step behind the scenes of a centuries-old festival in Mongolia    

Those in search of adventure are sure to find it among  Mongolia ‘s untamed landscapes and sparsely populated landscapes. But visiting during the annual Naadam Festival is even more special. This adventure takes you through the wild outback and behind the scenes to meet the competitors in the lead-up to the games. 

23. Slide into the hot spots and hidden gems of New Zealand’s ski fields  

New to the Intrepid range this year, New Zealand ski and snowboard trips get experienced skiers straight to the slopes. On Ski New Zealand: South Island Snow Odyssey , you’ll hit 10 of New Zealand’s best ski spots in 12 days, including Mt Hutt, the Remarkables, Coronet Peak and Craigieburn.

Travel inspiration

By David Szmidt December 13, 2022

By David Szmidt | December 13, 2022

Do you want adventure? Epic trips to add to your bucket list? Once-in-a-lifetime experiences? We’ve got ‘em. Mountain biking, rafting, hiking, climbing, responsible tourism expeditions and more in our adventure travel for 2023 list

Bored of the beach? Sick of city breaks? Tired of just being a tourist? Well, get ready for adventure! Whether you’re a beginner or an expert in the field of adventure holidays , we’ve got suggestions for everyone. Take a deep breath and let’s go!

Romania: mountain biking in Transylvania

Transylvania is nowhere near as horrifying as its mythical-sounding name suggests. In fact, it’s a beautiful region of central Romania with the town of Braşov a convenient hub. It’s easy to get to from most places in Europe, it’s relatively cheap, the riding can be brutal or relaxing depending on how much you feel like punishing yourself, and the views from the tops of the mountains and gorges are nothing short of spectacular.

You can either take your own bikes or rent them there; likewise, you can either start some of the trails in Braşov or rent a car/van to get you further out into the countryside. There are good maps and scores of routes, many passing hillside huts built on freshwater streams where you can stop, refill and refresh.

You may encounter wildlife, too. In the Piatra Mare Mountains, local shepherds still watch over their flocks, and there are also bears living in the forests. Watch out for those, obviously. Finally, no trip to the region would be complete without visiting Bran Castle. Supposedly “Dracula’s castle” (although there’s no evidence that Stoker meant this castle at all), it’s still a beautiful place to visit. Right then, on your bike!

Italy: rewilding adventures

Rewilding is the process of restoring natural ecosystems, encouraging biodiversity, and helping wildlife to return. It also aims to combat climate change by increasing the land’s ability to absorb carbon. The Apennine Mountains run the length of Italy , and the process is already in full swing. The dramatic mountain peaks and dense forests are home to wolves, deer, chamois, golden eagles, and the rare Marsican brown bear. Thanks to the Rewilding Europe program , you’ll get the chance to see all of these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat.

The scheme aims to introduce people to the landscape and its inhabitants on one of its rewilding tours , lasting between three and seven nights. Combining hiking, bird- and wildlife-watching, history and cultural experiences, the Italian adventure includes exploration of the deep gorges and mountain peaks, as well as meeting local people in the ancient hillside villages and trying food and wine from the region. For a mixture of adventure and culture, this really can’t be topped. Plus, if you wanted, you could combine it with a couple of days in Rome to start, end, or bookend your trip.

Chad: expeditions with the locals

In the very heart of Africa lies the country of Chad . One of the poorest countries in the world, around 80% of the population relies on farming and cattle herding, using techniques that date back millennia. It’s ways of life such as this that the country hopes will attract tourists willing to learn about the over 200 ethnic groups in the region. The national government has, in the past, attempted to impose the idea of a national society, but, for most people, local or regional society remains the biggest influence.

Expeditions into the Ennedi Regions in the northeast of the country might mean encountering one such group: the Tubu, one of the continent’s most traditional peoples. In this rugged, martian landscape, characterized by massive, twisted rock formations, the Tubu herd huge numbers of camels between water holes and the Lakes of Ounianga, across some of the hottest and least hospitable terrain on the planet. This adventure will truly show you how humans have survived for centuries using just what the planet provides — even when that provision is disquietingly small.

Indonesia: sea kayaking

Indonesia, with its thousands of islands, lends itself perfectly to being explored by boat. If you’d like to do this in a chilled, responsible way, there are companies that can rent you sturdy sea kayaks, and many routes and itineraries to choose from.

For example, the Thousand Islands chain to the north of Jakarta offers, if not a thousand, then certainly over one hundred islands to explore. Of these, 13 are fully developed, 23 are privately owned, 11 have resorts, two are national parks, and the rest…? Well, the rest are either bases for the local fishing trade, or simply uninhabited. Paddle away and find your little piece of personal paradise beside the calm, clear water .

You could also try places like Batam Island. Float gently through the tropical forests and steaming mangroves, past fields, spotting wildlife. For more wildlife-based exploration, head to the islands that make up Komodo National Park, home of the eponymous dragon. You can also surf, snorkel, scuba dive, or simply explore the islands on foot, and there are a number of eco-lodges and campsites to stay in. You could spend your life just floating dreamily from place to place. Nice idea, eh?

Morocco: climbing Mount Toubkal

At 4,167 meters, Mount Toubkal is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains (and therefore in North Africa as a whole), and trekking to the summit is a decent challenge, especially in summer with temperatures topping out at around 40°C. A better idea might be to hold out until fall or winter when, not only will it be cooler, but the country gets fewer tourists in general. Whichever time of year you choose, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views over the Toubkal Massif after two days of hiking — the first to get to the Toubkal refuge from the village of Imlil (around seven hours), then a second day to hike to the summit (around four hours, with a three-hour descent).

Imlil is a 90-minute drive south of Marrakech, so you can combine your mountain adventure with a trip to one of the region’s most exciting cities. The medina — the walled city — dates from the 11th century, and is a teeming mass of people, noise, smells and controlled chaos. Market stalls, bathhouses, mosques, tombs and palatial ruins compete for space, and you’ll see something incredible wherever you walk. If one thing you don’t want to do in the mountains is get lost, here it’s inevitable — and the best way to experience the city.

US: rafting through the Grand Canyon

Most views of the Grand Canyon are from above, either from the surface or, if you’re really splashing the cash, by helicopter or light plane. What not many people know is that you can see it from the opposite angle, too.

There are a bunch of rafting routes along the Colorado River, many of them heading through the Canyon, ranging from single-day trips to 18-day odysseys along 280 miles of water. There are various options for things to do along the route: camping, hiking, visiting archaeological finds and Native American sites, or stopping off in a couple of the bigger towns if you feel like taking a bit of time out.

Generally, the water is flat and calm — there are rapids at a couple of points, but they’re not hugely intense — and the point of the trip is not to scare yourself silly; more to really experience a part of the world to which people tend to come, take a few photos, and leave. At the level of the river, the majesty of the Canyon really hits home. It’s also perfect for any size group of people — all the way from two in one small raft, up to twelve spread across two or three vessels. Oh, and if you really want to add a bit of culture shock to your trip, Las Vegas is just down the river.

Faroe Islands: hiking to the northern lights

Iceland ? It’s been done — the nation’s push for tourism means that more people are going than ever before. So, what’s the alternative? Well, try the Faroe Islands for size.

The tiny archipelago of 18 islands sits in the middle of the chilly North Atlantic, and though under the sovereignty of Denmark , they’re a self-governing nation. The capital, Tórshavn, is home to around 20,000 people and is surrounded by a bay on one side, and backed by two mountains, Húsareyn and Kirkjubøreyn. It’s for mountains like these that a lot of the Faroes’ visitors come, with hiking and mountain biking being popular pastimes.

Indeed, there’s very little of the islands that’s not on some sort of slope; the village of Gásadalur, for example, was only accessible by hiking over a mountain until as recently as 2004 when a tunnel was built. As you explore the islands, you’ll come across tiny villages like this, many with stunning views across the sea, and dotted with buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. You’ll also meet a wide variety of birdlife, not to mention seals and orcas, and sheep, goats and horses that are particular to the island , having bred in isolation for around 1,200 years. And if you’re hunting for the northern lights , November to February is your best bet.

Overseas adventure travel honored in travel + leisure 2023 world's best awards.

O.A.T. is #4 Best Intimate-ship Ocean Cruise Line

BOSTON , July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.) , the leader in personalized small group and solo travel, announced that it has been named #4 in the Best Intimate-ship Ocean Cruise Lines category in the  Travel + Leisure 2023 World's Best Awards .

According to Travel + Leisure , the Best Intimate-ship Ocean Cruise Lines category honors the smallest oceangoing vessels – those with fewer than 150 cabins. Travelers rate ships on cabins/facilities; food; service; itineraries/destinations; excursions/activities; and value.

Small ships, access to lesser-visited ports The intimate nature of the company's Small Ship Adventures defies traditional ideas of ocean cruising. O.A.T.'s small ships can access smaller, more unique ports that others cannot.

With its small group size of no more than 16 travelers by land and 25 by ship, O.A.T. takes travelers off the beaten path where big tour groups cannot go. O.A.T. travelers stay in intimate lodgings unique to their destination, travel like locals do, and slip seamlessly into local life. Local Trip Experience Leaders offer firsthand insights and support to travelers throughout the journey.

O.A.T. itineraries are designed to focus on cultural connections—from sharing meals with families during Home-Hosted Visits and spending A Day in the Life of people who live in the regions visited, to discussing modern-day Controversial Topics with local experts and visiting Grand Circle Foundation sites such as schools, women's co-ops, and more. Travelers enjoy the choice to personalize their experience—from arriving early to extending time abroad with trip extensions—to make the most of their vacation.

Leader in Solo Travel Solo travelers with O.A.T. enjoy unmatched value with its Free or low-cost Single Supplements. More than 130,000 solo travelers have explored with O.A.T. since 2015. Solos may also join O.A.T. through its free roommate matching service if single spaces are filled.

What Rick Steves Hates About Traveling Solo (And How He Avoids It)

Travel pro Rick Steves knows how to have the best trip to Europe.  He encourages people to travel through his PBS show, his guidebooks, and through his tour company Rick Steves Tours. Through all of these endeavors, he offers location-specific tips, but also tips for any destination and for all types of travel. Most of these come from his personal experiences -- and some of Steves' personal travels have been done solo. 

While more people are taking solo trips than ever before, for others, solo travel evokes mixed feelings. It can be exciting to have the freedom to do what you want without worrying about anyone else, but it can also be lonely, and some activities are designed for more than one person and can be awkward to do by yourself. Steves acknowledges that there are some cons to solo travel. "For me, a downside of traveling alone is trying to enjoy fine dinners solo," Steves explained on his website . However, he has still found ways to make this aspect of travel a bit easier.

Solo Travelers Can Travel With Tour Companies

If you are uneasy about solo dining during your trip, you may not need to look far to find accompaniment. "If you're feeling sociable, eat in places so crowded and popular that all the tables are shared, or ask other single travelers if they'd like to join you," Rick Steves writes on his website . If you are staying in a hostel, Steves also suggests checking out the hostel's community spaces. Hostels are  a great way to meet new people who are often unique and outgoing. Maybe you can tag along with some of these adventurous folks for a meal or even just a coffee run.

Another way to avoid feeling too alone on a solo trip is by booking a trip with a tour company. "I just wrapped up 12 wonderful days in Portugal — laughing, learning, and exploring with a great group of 25 new friends," Rick Steves stated in a blog post . Sharing the exciting experiences that traveling so often brings with a group of strangers will quickly make them not seem like strangers. Of course, you'll avoid dining alone on a food tour, but even if you take a sightseeing tour, you can always invite your new friends out for dinner. "[T]hat's one of the joys of taking a tour: You have company!" says Steves.

Tour Companies Are Increasingly Accommodating Solo Travelers

While families or friend groups will often travel through tour companies, many of the people on these tours will also be solo travelers. In 2023, Brian FitzGerald of the tour company Overseas Adventure Travel reported to Forbes that half of his company's travelers are going solo. Overseas Adventure Travel is accommodating solo travelers by adding more single spaces on their group trips. Other tour companies, like EF Ultimate Break , even encourage people to sign up solo.

Some tour companies plan out everything for you -- from restaurants to activities to inner city transportation. If this is not appealing, either due to the cost or lack of flexibility, Rick Steves recommends assuaging the potential loneliness of solo travel with a group city walking tour. "You'll learn about the town and meet other travelers, too," he explains. Among the many walking tour companies with guides in multiple cities is SANDEMANs New Europe . These are free tours, but tips for the guides are encouraged. Aside from getting a group feel, walking tours can offer unique, local perspectives and a detailed history of the area.
