G Adventures has announced new Classic trips for 2025, extending age ranges on previously youth-focused itineraries in Africa and Central America. The tour operator is also reintroducing trips to Tibet and expanding options in China and South Korea amid growing demand.
"When we looked at the data, we could clearly see the time is right to open up a set of fast-paced, longer, more basic itineraries to an older crowd looking to see and do as much as they can,” said Yves Marcaeu, vice president of product for G Adventures. “These trips have been traditionally more popular with younger travelers who typically have less money and more time, but we now have a growing segment of customers who are getting older, yet still looking for a more 'rugged' and exploratory style of adventure."
In Africa, the new trips will feature G Adventures’ refurbished fleet of Lando overland vehicles. Upgrades include an improved water purifier, enhanced driving technology, USB charging units for each seat and new camping equipment.

The Central America trips will maintain basic accommodations but now allow travelers over 39 years of age to visit El Salvador and Honduras, countries that were previously restricted to the company's "18-To-Thirtysomethings" trips.
G Adventures is also reintroducing Tibet to its portfolio for the first time since the pandemic, following China's relaxation of visa requirements for several countries. Additionally, the company has added a new Classic tour in South Korea, which can be combined with a trip to Japan.
New offerings include a 27-day overland safari from Johannesburg, South Africa, to Nairobi; a 32-day trip through seven Central American countries; a 12-day Tibet tour from Chengdu, China, to Kathmandu, Nepal; and a 16-day South Korea and Japan combination tour.
