about us
In 1988 a group of friends bounced across the Sahara in a converted tipper truck. Along the way two of them, Darrell Wade and Geoff Manchester, talked endlessly about creating a style of group travel that was out of the ordinary; a style of travel that would fully expose people to the good, the bad and the downright weird of the nations they travelled. Back in Australia, Geoff and Darrell bought a second hand typewriter, borrowed a dining room table and Intrepid was born.
Now, 20 years later, Intrepid takes around 80,000 travellers to over 90 countries worldwide, each and every year. With a huge variety of tours available, Intrepid travellers explore the world's most amazing places - from the back streets of Asia, to the wilds of Africa, the colourful landscapes of Latin America, the delicacies of Europe and ancient cultures of Australasia. Intrepid employs over 800 staff and have offices throughout the globe.
But, just as things have changed, Intrepid's philosophy has stayed the same - to provide the best value small group adventures in the world. Best of all, despite the company's global expansion, Intrepid Travel remains independently owned!
real life experiences
Intrepid's style of travel is all about real life experiences. Real life experiences are those moments you know you're really alive and experiencing something special. While it could be the instant you see one of the world's great icons for the first time, it is more likely to be the moment you find yourself practicing tai chi in a village square, being treated to a home-cooked meal by your new local friends or sharing a laugh with your fellow travellers as you try out a new mode of transport... camel anyone? These unexpected moments are what travelling is all about, and give you an experience like no other.
