Each adventure includes a standout experience, whether it’s a homestay in a traditional hanok in South Korea, meeting inspiring female entrepreneurs in Pakistan, or hiking to a remote outpost in Albania to connect with local shepherds.
For this age group, travel is about more than just soaking up the sun on a beach—though that’s always a welcome bonus. It’s about exploration, discovery, and forming friendships in unexpected places. These trips are designed to be fun, fresh, meaningful, and eye-opening.
Staying true to its community tourism commitment, G Adventures ensures that every new trip supports organizations, regions, and businesses where visitor engagement creates a lasting positive impact. Plus, through their Trees for Days initiative, a tree is planted for each day a traveler is on the road—an essential perk for the eco-conscious adventurer.
Every new 18-to-Thirtysomethings trip from G Adventures is jam-packed with epic experiences; here are 10 of the most memory-making moments:
SOUTH KOREA
Sleeping in a traditional hanok (homestay) and spending time with Jeju island’s 80-year-old women divers

For 18-to-Thirtysomething, living like a local is high on the priority list, and a homestay in a traditional hanok, a historic Korean house, gives an amazing insight into history and culture, all in one cosy overnight slumber. Then there’s time watching the haenyeo – the legendary women divers of Jeju island, some of whom are over 80 years old – as they dive beneath the water’s surface, holding their breath for three minutes at a time, to collect molluscs and other shellfish. It’s an awe-inspiring spectacle on a trip packed with ‘see it to believe it’ moments.

BOSNIA
Rafting along the Neretva River and spotting wild horses on a sunset jeep safari
Safari? In the Balkans? This under-the-radar nation serves up jaw-dropping scenery and experiences most travellers never knew existed – like witnessing dozens of wild horses thundering across empty meadows at sunset, or rafting down the crystal-clear Neretva river. Crowd-free cities, waterfall swims and delicious local cuisine – all on a trip with a very reasonable price tag – make this one an instant hit.

Hiking to a shepherd outpost before a delicious traditional lunch

Not just any walk: this trip includes a hike through herds of sheep and wildflower meadows to a remote shepherd outpost in the Albanian hills. The group will spend a long sun-soaked morning living the authentic Albanian mountain life, before joining the local shepherds for lunch, tucking into a hearty traditional meal of local meats, cheese and freshly baked bread on the farm, all while learning about this way of life. Plus: castle visits, visits to villages in the Albanian Alps and time Corfu island, Greece.

AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND
Kangaroo trekking in bushland and time with a Maori guide in the Te Puia valley
Kangaroos are a symbol of Australia and one of its most recognisable native animals, but seeing them in the wild isn’t always that easy. On this trip the group has the chance to spot kangaroos – and their young joeys – in their natural habitat during a trek through coastal bushland around Arrawarra. Elsewhere, in Rotura, New Zealand, the group will meet a local Māori guide in the Te Puia thermal valley, one of the world’s most impressive geothermal wonderlands. Over several hours, they’ll learn about the significance of the steaming geysers while eating a traditional kāinga waru pudding cooked in the natural hot spring.

JORDAN
Stargazing in the dunes of Wadi Rum – the Valley of the Moon – before camping in the desert

Remarkable value and remarkable experiences combine on this new adventure in Jordan. This isn’t just a chance to experience the dunes of Wadi Rum, but spend the night there, spotting star constellations and camping in the remote desert – a rare opportunity to truly disconnect and appreciate the earth, stars and solar system. At other points on the trip there’s a backdoor hike to Petra and time to relax by the Red Sea.

CHINA
Conquering one of the best-preserved sections of the legendary Great Wall and hiking in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park

When it comes to head-clearing hikes, where better than the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park? The otherworldly karst formations inspired the setting for Hollywood blockbuster Avatar, and this 18-to-Thirtysomethings trip is the only G Adventure to head there. Then there’s the chance to take on the Huairou County section of the Great Wall – with brag-worthy pictures from the 22 towers. These are just two extraordinary sites to witness on a trip packed with delicious cuisine and fascinating history.

MOROCCO
Sandboarding at sunset, riding waves on the Atlantic and kicking back during a beach bonfire

Few countries in the world serve up as much of a mix as Morocco – where adventures can be as high octane or as low key as travellers like. One minute the group’s screeching as they sandboard down golden dues as the sky turns pink, the next they’re catching their first waves and tumbling into the ocean, before resting weary limbs and reminiscing about the days gone by over a beach bonfire. Time in some of the best cities in Portugal and Spain up the epic rating even further.

GREECE
Sipping coffee at Shedia Home, hearing how the non-profit cafe provides purpose to those experiencing homelessness in Athens
It’s a classic holiday destination, with a G Adventures twist. On a quest to show all sides of a country, this trip takes travellers to Shedia Home, a non-profit cafe in Athens where educational talks are given by the city’s residents who are experiencing homelessness. The group’s visit also means that the organisation’s Invisible Tours, led by a guide experiencing homelessness, gets the extra eyeballs it needs. From here, it’s on to historical sites, sun-dappled beaches and tranquil olive groves in Corfu and Santorini.

PAKISTAN
Meeting inspirational entrepreneurs at a number of small women-owned business

It’s the ultimate under-the-radar destination. Handily, a trip to Pakistan isn’t just affordable, it’s crammed with jaw-dropping scenery, local interactions and mesmerising moments. After a morning trekking the Passu Glacier, the group will spend time at small women-owned businesses, like the Old House, a restaurant run by women supporting their families, and the Korgah Carpet Center, a local initiative creative by five entrepreneurial local women who aim to empower women in Hunza, improving their livelihoods through skills like traditional carpet weaving. In a 400-year-old Wakhi house, the group will hear the women’s stories while crafting their own woolen cap to bring home. Elsewhere on the the trip, there’s time in Khunjerab National Park – keeping eyes peeled for snow leopards, ibex, wolves and golden eagles.
