Explore’s Discovery Adventures brings you a collection of inspiring, pioneering and unique adventures, journeying to some of the most fascinating and far-flung locations on the planet.

You'll explore far beyond the tourist spots into the heart of the country you’re visiting. By travelling in small groups, you’ll be able to fully immerse yourself in local life and get a real feel for the country.

Explore's Tour Leaders have fantastic local knowledge and a passion for travel, so they will be able to take you to the places that only the locals know of.

The Adventure Specialists

Explore's team of dedicated adventure travel experts create innovative, exciting and pioneering adventures for all. The team is made up of seasoned travellers, many of whom have lived, travelled or worked in the areas they specialise in. Because of their vast knowledge, the team are able to design unique tours which visit the most interesting and distinctive areas of each country, getting you off the beaten track and offering you the chance to really get under the skin of the country you are visiting. Our small group adventures bring together a range of unique and invigorating activities, pioneering destinations and fun travelling companions to guarantee that the whole group have an unforgettable adventure.

Small Group Adventures

Groups are small and social; they’re generally made up of about 12 to 16 people. Anyone who craves adventure will fit in perfectly, no matter what their age or background. Groups are usually a mixture of solo travellers and people travelling as couples or with friends - so no matter who you’re with, you’ll have a great time.

Travel for all ages

If you’re born with a sense of adventure, you’ll never lose it. Explore's small groups bring together people in their late teens to their 70s. Different trips appeal to different age groups, but rather than focusing on age it’s better to focus on the adventure. People who love adventure travel already have a lot in common, whatever their age.
