Group size will vary depending on where and how you’re traveling, but the average group size is about 10. You'll find that’s a great number to let you connect with the people you meet without feeling like you’re just a face in a crowd.

Every Intrepid small group adventure has been carefully designed to make sure you have an unforgettable travel experience. Over the years, they’ve developed several trip styles and a wider range of themes to cater to a diverse range of travelers.
