Why Travel with World Expeditions

Adventure travel done thoughtfully - since 1975

When you travel with World Expeditions, you’re choosing more than an adventure. Your joining a community of active travellers who enjoy choose experience, integrity, and a deeper way to explore the world.

Since 1975, we’ve been designing and leading small group adventure travel experiences that take you beyond the obvious and into the extraordinary. From remote mountain ranges and wild landscapes to rich cultural regions far from the mainstream, our adventures are built to immerse you fully while treading lightly.

As pioneers of responsible adventure travel, we believe big adventures shouldn’t come at the expense of the people and places you visit. That’s why our journeys are carefully crafted to deliver meaningful experiences, genuine cultural connection, and a positive impact — without compromising on challenge, comfort, or fun.

With experienced leaders, thoughtfully designed itineraries, and like-minded travellers by your side, you’ll be supported every step of the way - challenged when it counts, and rewarded with a genuine sense of achievement.

This is adventure travel with purpose. And it’s what we’ve done best for nearly five decades.
