Intrepid Travel, the world’s leading sustainable tour operator, has launched a new South Australian adventure to its growing collection of local tours available to Australians. Designed to celebrate First Nations histories and culture, this new tour marks Intrepid’s continuing commitment to developing trips that provide Australians with opportunities to discover their own vast backyard.

After a year of border closures, lockdowns and extended families being spread across states, travellers can expect more active and wellness experiences as well as a focus on local food and produce. Tours will focus on bringing families closer together while exploring the best of what Australia has to offer. Intrepid now offers a total of 71 local trips in Australia.

“After a year of uncertainty, we wanted to provide an opportunity for Australian’s to reconnect with the environment, all while trying something new, getting active and supporting local communities who have been left struggling,” says Brett Mitchell, Intrepid Travel’s Managing Director. “We have noticed more Australian’s craving adventure, this new trip provides Aussies with the opportunity to discover South Australia’s most diverse landscapes, histories, cultures and food.”

The new adventure demonstrates Intrepid Travel’s continued commitment to supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, with many trips featuring First Nations experiences.

“At Intrepid Travel we believe that there is an opportunity to further support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island experiences and businesses while so many Australian’s are travelling throughout the country,“ adds Mitchell.

Sample highlights from the newly launched tour include:

10-day South Australia Outback Adventure – from $3,370 AUD

As with all Intrepid Travel trips, the local range is 100% carbon-offset and designed to have a low environmental footprint while having a positive impact on local communities. All Intrepid trips operate under Safe Travel protocols developed and endorsed by the World Travel & Tourism Council.
