What's your G.A.P Adventures Travel Style?
Some of you love squeezing onto the local chicken bus in Guatemala where others would prefer a private, air-conditioned van. We recognize that you have different travel preferences and budgets, so we've built a style for anyone who wants to add a little adventure to their holidays.
Use the chart below to find your G.A.P Adventures travel style. You may also want to try out our handy adventure meter tool, which will compare your personal preferences and match them to our trip styles.
Active
This has to beat the treadmill at the gym! Our range of Active trips adds the thrill of a physical challenge to your holiday. So if you like nothing more than hitting the trail at sunrise, peddling along mountain passes or kayaking along fast flowing rivers, then Active adventures are just what you’re looking for. Be warned – you’ll work up a sweat, but you will have access to sights and experiences other travellers would consider privileged to see!
Classic
The Classic G.A.P Adventures trip is all about immersing yourself in the local culture and truly experiencing a destination. Whether that’s through interacting with the communities you visit, seeing amazing and unique wildlife up close, or just getting out there and taking in the great outdoors.
Expedition
Taking you to the Polar extremes aboard the newly retrofitted M/S Expedition, our expeditions will take you to places you never dreamed possible. From the great white wilderness of Antarctica to the Arctic Circle, and many points in between, these adventures deliver the very best in wildlife and nature, along with awe inspiring scenery.
Family
Looking for something a little more exciting than your average family holiday? For a truly unique family vacation, our Family adventures take the spirit of our Classic trips, and make them accessible to all (minimum age is 5) for a fun-filled and educational holiday. With safe, private transport, nice hotels and included local payments, these trips were designed for family convenience. From the unique wildlife of the Galapagos to the hill tribe villages of Thailand, there’s literally a world of family adventure waiting for you!
Independent
This trip style is for those who don’t want to follow a fixed itinerary. It gives you the freedom to arrange your holiday how you want. Choose from city breaks to mini adventures, to complete two week touring options, with comfort levels to suit all tastes.
Limited Edition
Many of our adventures are special – and these are even more so. From photography trips to visiting some of the world’s great festivals, these adventures are limited – so hurry! Be sure to check our website or visit your travel agent for the latest Limited Editions trips, as we’ll be introducing more through the course of the year.
Overland
Get back to some old-school adventure travel and hit the open road in one of our all purpose overland trucks. Our trips provide the best of both worlds. Stay in hotels and enjoy the cities and towns, while roughing it on the road
in an overland truck. Expect a real hands-on experience as you set up camp, help out at meal times and team up with your fellow travellers as you cross rivers, plains, plateaus and mountain passes. You could be sleeping out in the open wilderness, or within earshot of a lion’s roar and elephants trumpeting, and waking every morning to a new adventure.
Volunteer
Volunteer adventures have been designed as a way to give even more back to the communities and regions we visit. G.A.P Adventures travellers can make a direct and very real difference to their quality of life for local communities. The benefits to you are even greater cultural immersion, more time in the community and the ability to take a hands-on approach to bringing about positive changes.
Note: As there are slight variances between trips in each style of travel, please see individual trip pages for specific information on accommodation, group size, staff, transportation and inclusions.
