G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions have announced the addition of 14 new itineraries to their portfolio of small-group tours for 2026, expanding their joint offerings to 106 trips across 59 countries.
The expansion includes 12 new National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures and two new National Geographic Family Journeys with G Adventures, with departures beginning in April 2026. The new National Geographic Journeys include destinations not previously featured, such as South Korea and China, as well as countries in Central Asia such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Other additions expand current offerings in mainland Greece, the Greek Islands, the Balkans and Mexico.
Notable experiences on these journeys include a visit to Kazakhstan’s submerged forest in Kaindy Lake, traditional meals with Kyrgyz and Tajik locals, an encounter with South Korea’s Haenyeo women divers on Jeju Island, hiking through China’s Zhangjiajie National Park and observing Dia de Muertos festivities in Mexico.
Two new National Geographic Family Journeys will bring multigenerational travelers to Egypt and Portugal for the first time. These trips are designed with activities tailored for both children and adults, such as interactive food tours, Nile River cruises in Egypt and e-bike rides along the Portuguese coast.
“We’re celebrating 10 years of collaboration with our friends at National Geographic Expeditions and are delighted to be embarking on another ten-year journey of adventures together,” said Ben Perlo, chief executive officer at G Adventures. “What started as a shared vision and an opportunity in the group travel market, has grown into a collection of truly life-changing experiences, whose positive ripple effects can be felt by local people, wildlife and destinations all around the world.”
