Highlands of Ecuador
If you’re short on time it doesn’t mean your cultural experience in Ecuador shouldn’t be colossal.

Alice Springs to Kakadu
For travellers looking to discover Australia's wild and rugged heart, few trips compare to this six-day adventure through some of nature's scenic best. From parched red landscapes bathed in the light of the setting sun, to secret waterfalls, towering gorges, bubbling hot springs, giant termite mounds (yep), croc cruises, sleeping under the star-filled Australian sky, and everything in between, this is an exploration of nature Down Under every real traveller has to experience. So suit up, hop in, and hold on for a week you'll remember forever.
Harbin Ice Festival
Officially the Harbin International Ice & Snow Sculpture Festival, this month-long celebration of all that is cold and wonderful is the largest gathering of its kind in the entire world. Ideal for travellers who’ve already crossed China’s other highlights off their lists, this four-day adventure grants you access to the festival’s wintry wonders, including traditional ice-lantern exhibits, alpine skiing events, and the world’s largest ice sculptures. (The tour works as a perfect add-on to further adventures in China, too!)

From chaotic Ho Chi Minh City to charming Hoi An, the imperial capital of Hue, vibrant Hanoi, and the stunning natural beauty of Halong Bay, this trip has something for everyone. Journey up the coast in this jam-packed introduction to the country's highlights and nightlife with other travellers your own age — so you can be sure to get down with new friends that’ll keep up. Our Chief Experience Officers (CEOs) will take you to the highlights on a shoestring and then let you loose so you can do what you really want.

Shanghai to Hong Kong on a Shoestring
You’d be surprised by just how much China you can squeeze into a single week. Need proof? Look no further than this tour. It begins with two busy days in Shanghai before heading off to Yangshuo — a backpacker’s haven set deep amid the forested hills of the Guangxi region — where you can practice calligraphy, study tai chi, and learn how to make local delicacies. Then, it’s off to Hong Kong to wrap things up with two days in one of the world’s most mind-blowing cities. Short on days, long on memories.
Southern India & Karnataka by Rail
As a country, India is so vast that sometimes it takes a couple visits in order to see as much of it as possible. Knock the less-explored southern region of Karnataka off the list right away. Over 10 days’ time, you’ll take the train from Goa to Kochi via Karnataka and have the chance to see the breathtaking ruins of Hampi — a true highlight of the journey. Even more memorable moments await in Mysore and Madikeri as you explore opulent palaces and a coffee plantation. Hop on board and get ready for the ride of your life.
Naples Pizza Adventure
For most people, pizza is something that gets delivered to them. Real pizza obsessives deliver themselves to Naples, the birthplace of pizza. This five-day adventure introduces you to the foodie haven of Naples. You’ll have the chance to search out all sorts of delicious delights, dig right into the dough, and learn how to make pizza, Italian-style. And when you’re not eating, you’ll be learning about the history of the area on a visit to the nearby ruins of Pompeii and how the famous Italian limoncello digestif is made. Now sing along: “When the moon hits your eye…”
Local Living Ecuador—Amazon Jungle
The Amazon Rainforest is so full of life; embrace it for yourself during a week unlike any other. From Quito, you’ll travel to your new home in the jungle and meet the Quichua family who will host you in their village for the next four nights. Discover waterfalls on jungle walks and travel to an animal rescue centre by canoe. You’ll learn about medicinal plants and how to use a blowgun, experience a shaman ceremony, and walk to a jungle waterfall. Most importantly, you’ll befriend people few outsiders have the honour to even meet.
Ecuador Beaches & Coastal Adventure
Cities, beach, exploring, beach — we know the choice between kickin’ it on the shore and seeing all those sites can be a tough one, so we got rid of the struggle. Exploring highlights along Ecuador’s scenic coast will give you that laid-back vibe with a little extra sweetness when you get to stop at a cacao-farming hacienda. With time to see the colonial cities of Quito and Cuenca, you can then chill out in surfer’s paradise, Montañita. See? Debates aren’t so hard to win after all.
Cambodia: Ancient Ruins & Boat Rides
Now's the time to explore Cambodia on your terms with this tour that's affordable for young travellers. Marvel at the incredible Khmer ruins of Angkor Wat and the clear turquoise waters of Koh Rong.

Northern India by Rail
For something a little more off the beaten path, take the train right to the heart of India’s colourful culture for a different look at this dynamic country’s northern region. Experiences like the India-Pakistan Wagah border ceremony and Dalai Lama sights in Dharamsala get you in touch with the spiritual side of India, while the toy trains in Shimla are always a delight. Riding the rails back to Delhi gives you the chance to see many of India’s well-known highlights, and we even include a walking tour led by former at-risk youth through a G Adventures-supported initiative. You’ve never experienced India quite like this.
Beijing to Shanghai Adventure: Ancient Kingdoms & Karaoke
China can be intimidating, what with its Great Wall, Forbidden City, and army of Terracotta Warriors.

Get a mix of modern and historic with plenty of time to enjoy the nightlife.
