Virgin Holidays and Intrepid partnership

Real world experiences are the times you try something for the first time, mingle with villagers in far-flung corners of the planet away from the beaten track, get treated to a home-cooked meal by your new local friends or laughing at your travel companions as you fall out the back of a tuc tuc! It is the real life experiences that add incredible value to travelling overseas and for this very reason, Virgin Holidays have partnered with Intrepid Travel, experts in the art of enjoying the simplest of travel arrangements whilst maximising enjoyment and reward.

We loved Intrepid's concept of small group adventures to each corner of the globe; the variety of accommodation; multitude of locations and the various forms of transport and, in some destinations, a chance of a local home stay. Sharing the same travel philosophy, these small group adventures allow you to experience the real world without impacting on the fragile ecologies that so many of the world's unique cultures depend upon.

Intrepid Travel is about meeting local people in an atmosphere of respect and experiencing their culture without dominating it. From our humble beginnings with just 2 staff, 1 destination and just 47 travellers, Intrepid now take around 80,000 like minded travellers to over 100 countries. Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that despite our growth, our philosophy on travel hasn't changed. We still believe that the best way to experience a country is to get close to it.

Intrepid Travel are thrilled to be joining forces with Virgin Holidays. The partnership just seems so natural - Intrepid are leaders in innovative, adventure holidays throughout the world, while Virgin Holidays are leaders in tailoring quality holidays for British travellers. Working together we can offer some of the greatest travelling experiences available today.
