G Adventures
Founded in 1990 by social entrepreneur Bruce Poon Tip, G Adventures is a pioneer of community tourism and leader in small group travel, offering more than 750 life-changing trips in 100 countries on all seven continents. Recognizing that older women are among its most important guests, G Adventures has launched a full suite of new, cost-effective adventure experiences for women over 50, including new ‘Classic’ trips include safaris in Africa and multi-country trips in Central America that were only previously available to travellers aged up to 39.
A champion of solo travel for over 30 years, G Adventures is taking its solo offering to the next level with the launch of Solo-ish Adventures – G Adventures’ first travel style created exclusively for solo travellers. Solo-ish caters to travellers who have a desire to go at it alone, and are seeking personal growth, connection and safety as they travel. Available to book now, Solo-ish features 13 trips in some of G Adventures’ most popular destinations, including Costa Rica, India, Peru, South Africa and Vietnam. All trips will harness the power of community tourism, ensuring local interactions and maximum benefit to local people in terms of money staying in the destination.
G Adventures’ award-winning trips support communities, giving women meaningful exchanges with local people, cultures, landscapes and wildlife, while offering them the freedom and flexibility to explore on their own. Our responsible approach to travel is demonstrated through its ‘G for Good’ social impact commitments, which include travel guidelines for children, wildlife and Indigenous people. We also have more than 100 community tourism projects built into our trips around the world, developed together with our non-profit partner, Planeterra, which was also founded by Bruce Poon Tip.
In 2018, G Adventures was the first travel company to introduce an industry-leading ‘Ripple Score’ assessment which measures how many of a traveller’s dollars stay in the local economy, and in 2023 it announced its Trees for Days initiative which supports local environments and communities through tree-planting, with one tree per G Adventures’ traveller being planted per day.
