Unique expeditions
Travel not as an observer but as an active participant, with boundless chances to be surrounded by natural wonders and exotic wildlife, to explore celebrated archaeological sites, to learn about different cultures and environments, and to meet local people and share in their traditions.
We craft our expeditions with National Geographic experts to create one-of-a-kind adventures that incorporate the insights, knowledge, and passion of those who know our destinations intimately. National Geographic's name opens doors worldwide, giving you access to special events, to scientific installations, to archaeological digs, and to private homes. Whenever possible, we arrange visits to Society-sponsored research sites so you can meet the scientists whose discoveries you've read about in the pages of National Geographic magazine.
Journey with like-minded companions
Your National Geographic Expedition companions will be Society members like you—active, engaged, and passionately curious travelers who are interested in natural history, other cultures, and new experiences. It is not surprising that many lasting friendships have started on a National Geographic Expedition.
Discover the wild and the exotic, always in comfort and style
The Society's early explorers were known to pack foie gras, fine wine, and other delicacies when they traveled. We believe that you should also enjoy the finer amenities. On a National Geographic Expedition, we stay in first-rate accommodations and have many occasions to sample fine local cuisine.
We'll take care of the details
It is comforting to know that your travel logistics are being taken care of by experienced professionals. Your itinerary has been expertly researched and prepared. We've secured quality accommodations and arranged for most meals, transportation, excursions, entrance fees, porterage, and in many cases, tipping. We take care of the details so you can relax, enjoy, and immerse yourself in the wonder of the places visited.
Tap into National Geographic's exceptional resources
From the time you reserve your trip, you'll benefit from our expertise. You'll receive pre-trip materials, including
books, maps, or videos produced by National Geographic, to
provide essential background information on your expedition and
destination. To help you prepare for your trip, our online store carries field-tested apparel; gear; and travel accessories.
Our commitment to sustaining the places visited
National Geographic Expeditions is committed to offering authentic travel experiences while sustaining the character of each place we visit—its environment, culture, heritage, aesthetics, and the well-being of its residents. We strive to support local businesses and economies in our choice of accommodations and services, and to provide an understanding of the culture through visits with local residents; attendance at cultural events; sampling of local cuisine; and talks by our experts, local officials, and guides.
