G Adventures & National Geographic Expeditions launch new tours

PSA: if your bucket list is looking more like a novel, G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions have just given you 14 more reasons to make it even longer.

The two travel powerhouses are celebrating ten years of teaming up by dropping a fresh batch of immersive journeys launching in 2026, taking their total collection to 106 trips across 59 destinations.

That’s a lot of stamps for your passport.

The new itineraries span everywhere from the ancient wonders of Egypt to the foodie streets of Portugal, the windswept steppes of Central Asia, and the neon-meets-tradition magic of South Korea. Think bamboo rafting in Yangshuo, swapping stories with Kyrgyz nomads, puzzling over hieroglyphics in secret tombs, and watching octogenarian women divers in Jeju plunge 10 metres deep without tanks. It’s fair to see these trips aren’t your average bus tour.

Twelve of the new adventures fall under “National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures,” designed to pull you beyond the guidebook and into real-deal cultural encounters (yes, that means breadmaking with Tajik villagers is firmly on the menu).

Two new “Family Journeys” round things out - finally, a trip where kids can learn hieroglyphics by day and float down the Nile by night, or take surf lessons before raiding Portugal’s pastry shops.

Even though we’ll have to wait ’til 2026 for these new offerings (sigh), we already know these are the kind of adventures you’ll be bragging about long after your fridge magnets have lost their shine.
