Group Tours Made for Meeting People

Ultimate small group adventure tours are built for travellers who want to meet people, not just see places. Most of our Group Tours are designed for 18 to 35 year olds, most people book on their own, and almost everyone leaves with a crew of mates.

Every tour is fully guided, with accommodation, transport and the big activities sorted, so you just turn up and go. From the East Coast of Australia and New Zealand to Thailand, Japan, Europe and Peru, more than 20,000 travellers have explored the world with us since 2015.
