About Intrepid

Intrepid Travel is a global leader in the adventure travel industry, renowned for its commitment to sustainable and experience-rich journeys. Founded in 1989 by Australian friends Darrell Wade and Geoff 'Manch' Manchester, the company was born from a desire to create a new style of travel that was not only immersive and authentic for travelers but also beneficial to the local communities they visited. This vision was sparked during a transformative trip across Africa in a converted truck, laying the groundwork for a business that would prioritize real-life experiences over conventional tourism. For over three decades, Intrepid has grown from a small operation into the world's largest adventure travel company and a certified B Corporation, a testament to its dedication to balancing purpose and profit. The company offers more than 1,100 distinct tours across more than 120 countries on all seven continents, catering to a diverse range of travelers with varying budgets and appetites for adventure.

At the core of Intrepid Travel's philosophy is a deep-seated commitment to responsible travel. This principle is woven into every aspect of its operations, from utilizing local tour leaders and public transportation to staying in locally-owned accommodations and supporting local economies. As a carbon-neutral business since 2010, Intrepid has consistently demonstrated its dedication to environmental stewardship, going further to set science-based targets for emission reduction. The company's not-for-profit arm, The Intrepid Foundation, has raised millions of dollars for over 130 community-based projects worldwide, focusing on areas such as animal welfare, gender equality, and child protection. By offering small group tours, typically with an average of 10 travelers, Intrepid fosters a more intimate and impactful travel experience, allowing for genuine connections with local cultures and a minimal environmental footprint. This approach has solidified its reputation as a pioneer in sustainable tourism, striving to change the way people see the world by creating positive change through the joy of travel.
