Intrepid\u2019s latest nature adventures for 2025 are all about authentic ways to connect with our planet and the\u00a0people working to protect it.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n From glacier hiking in Greenland to trekking through Borneo\u2019s jungles, these new trips and experiences are designed to take you closer to nature in immersive and meaningful ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n The idea of a polar cruise might make you shiver (in a good way), but wait until you explore Greenland\u2019s wild landscapes by foot.\u00a0On the new Greenland Expedition<\/a>, instead of gazing at glaciers, you can hike them. On Disko Island, you\u2019ll tackle a multi-day hike to the impressive Lyngmark Glacier, covering challenging, rocky terrain (poles recommended!) and staying in a bright blue eco-lodge. Elsewhere, expect black sand beaches, scenic ferry rides past icebergs and, if you\u2019re lucky,\u00a0whale sightings.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kick<\/span> off the new\u00a0Benin, Togo & Ghana Adventure<\/a>\u00a0with a visit to Benin\u2019s sustainable farming research centre before hopping into a pirogue (a canoe made from a single tree trunk) to cruise down the Adjara Black River, keeping an eye out for crocs. In Togo, you\u2019ll climb Mount Agou \u2013 the country\u2019s highest peak \u2013 before crossing into Ghana for more hikes, suspension bridge canopy walks and dramatic waterfalls.\u00a0<\/p>\n Head out on an 11-day outback experience to Australia\u2019s northern tip. The new Cape York & Torres Strait Explorer<\/a> trip offers a memorable mix of wildlife, culture and secluded landscapes far from the tourist trail. Trek through Cape Tribulation\u2019s ancient Daintree Rainforest, join a bush food and medicine walk with an Aboriginal guide and cruise through mangrove-rich rivers on an eco-tour. Soak up Bayo Beach\u2019s beauty with a Torres Strait Islander and sample local delicacies such as crayfish toasties.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Gather the family for a six-day adventure in Finnish Lapland<\/a> that will give you a chance to connect with nature by hugging trees and arctic cocooning (a cosy version of forest bathing).\u00a0See a fine example of Finnish nature conservation on a guided forest walk, where tree hugging and planting are encouraged. Then you\u2019ll wrap yourself up in blankets and hammocks for an arctic cocoon experience<\/a> surrounded by silence, melting into pure relaxation before sharing hot chocolates around the fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n Spend eight days spotting moose, bears and maybe even orcas on new trip, Hiking the Great Land of Alaska<\/a>. On the Harding Icefield Trail, you\u2019ll learn about the region\u2019s changing climate while you ascend from Exit Glacier. Follow this with a half-day kayak around Kachemak Bay in Homer, where eagles, sea lions and even whales are known to make appearances. End each night camping under starlit Alaskan skies, soaking in some of the world\u2019s most stunning natural beauty.\u00a0<\/p>\n From abandoned Soviet spa towns to ancient monasteries, the unexpected awaits on the new Georgia & Armenia Explorer<\/a> trip. Wander Kutaisi\u2019s 3000-year-old streets, sip wine with local makers and visit the Arpa Protected Landscape \u2013 Armenia\u2019s first community-managed reserve. Here, you\u2019ll hike with rangers to meet the friendly local goats and learn how locals protect rare species like the Caucasian leopard, Armenian mouflon and European lynx.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n This 10-day Borneo Family Holiday Comfort<\/a> trip\u00a0is a great mix of wildlife encounters and family-friendly fun<\/a> that will leave you with so many memories, like meeting Borneo\u2019s baby orangutans and snorkelling with a marine biologist. On a new experience for 2025, you\u2019ll visit RESPECT<\/a>, an Intrepid Foundation partner working to protect the habitats of Borneo pygmy elephants<\/a>. You\u2019ll hear more about their work before planting some grass for these endangered creatures. \u00a0<\/p>\n Adding three\u00a0countries to the 18 to 35s offering<\/a>, the new Essential Scandinavia<\/a> trip is a 9-day intro to the region with plenty of room for self-exploration.\u00a0One nature highlight of this trip is the visit to Donso Island, where you\u2019ll wander through Swedish woodlands to viewpoints overlooking secluded beaches and red homes reminiscent of a postcard.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the Grand Canadian Rockies<\/a> trip you\u2019ll ogle at Lake Louise\u2019s iconic teal hues, take the scenic drive along Icefields Parkway and learn about First Nations history at the Squamish Lil\u2019Wat Cultural Centre. The 11-day adventure also has a new experience for 2025, where you\u2019ll meet a local guide from Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y)<\/a> to hear about the joint wildlife conservation initiative between the US and Canada that protects animals that roam between and inhabit both countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new Senegal and The Gambia Adventure<\/a> is a dream for nature lovers. Visit Senegal\u2019s Pink Lake, which gets its rosy hues from Dunaliella salina algae found in the water here. The next day, board a pirogue to explore Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary, a retreat for nearly 300 bird species, before continuing to Abuko Nature Reserve for a glimpse of reptiles and other native wildlife. Over 12 days, you\u2019ll enjoy unique encounters in one of West Africa\u2019s most diverse regions.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Nepal Women\u2019s Expedition<\/a> already has awe-inspiring encounters with nature covered, with a five-day hike through the Annapurnas and a two-day safari in Chitwan National Park. But in 2025 the latter experience has been elevated with a new inclusion: sunset drinks along the riverbank with a bit of wildlife spotting.\u00a0Keep an eye out for deer, birds and the great Indian rhino as you sip drinks and munch on local snacks with your new-found friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n Travel from south to north on the Classic Vietnam<\/a> trip, diving into local history in Ho Chi Minh City, savouring local food and unwinding on a traditional junk boat in Halong Bay. The 15-day trip now includes a visit to Cuc Phuong National Park to meet with one of the newest Intrepid Foundation partners: Save Vietnam\u2019s Wildlife<\/a>.
