Intrepid - After more than a year at home, the world is waiting for you in 2022

Intrepid, New Trips for 2022

After more than a year at home, the world is waiting for you in 2022.

With so much time at home to plan and dream, most of us have a travel wish list that’s a mile long. And a new appreciation of connecting with like-minded strangers, learning about local cultures and challenging ourselves to discover something new. With several new trip styles and plenty of exciting new adventures to choose from, we’ve come up with five fun ways to see the world in 2022.

From cycling through canyons to staying in a room with your own private onsen in Japan, following in the footsteps of cowboys, or making memories that last a lifetime on a Scottish Highlands trip especially for teens (and their parents), Intrepid now has more ways than ever before to explore the globe. With so many wonderful adventures waiting to be discovered, there has never been a better time to book your next trip.

Family adventures for all ages 

There’s no denying travel is enjoyable, but there’s more to it than that, especially for families. Travel is an education in itself for parents and their kids. It fosters a love of learning, builds a child’s confidence and celebrates a spirit of adventure. Taking your kids on a Family trip that favours real life experiences over virtual ones doesn’t just create wonderful family memories, it’s also an investment in your child’s future as a student of the world. Even better, it’s fun!

An active family escape through the lush highlands

Gather the troops and embark on a trip through northern Scotland from Inverness. Through verdant countryside and past deep lochs, see the best of Scottish Highlands in six wonderful days. Stroll the grounds of Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness, paddle part of the Caledonian Canal from Fort William, and head on a number of short walks and hikes to spectacular viewpoints across the region. With plenty of active inclusions to tire the teens out, plus several dedicated periods of leisure time so you can explore all the things you want to see, this Scottish escape is the perfect mix for your tribe.

Why you'll love this trip :

• Learn the legends of Loch Ness and the fortress ruins on its banks with an included visit to Urquhart Castle for your small family group. It will be a history lesson like no other!
• There’s nothing like a short walk to get a true feel of a place when travelling. From Fort William, climb Cow Hill to see some stunning panoramas, plus view UK’s highest peak – Ben Nevis – in all its glory.
• See the countryside from another angle when you all embark on a canoeing adventure along the Caledonian Canal. Stretching right through the highlands, you’ll paddle a small section to the tiny town of Gairlochy.
• Experience centuries of Scottish history on display in the open-air Highland Folk Museum, and perhaps take the family to one of the local galleries in Kingussie on a free afternoon.
• With all the details covered, you’re free to keep your mind on exploring the highlands. Browse the craft shops? Discover the community of Aviemore? Fancy a spot of horse riding? It’s all your choice.
