The National Geographic Difference

For 134 years, National Geographic has sent explorers across continents and into remote cultures, down to the oceans’ depths, and up the highest mountains in an effort to better understand the world and our relationship to it. National Geographic Expeditions grew from this legacy as a way to invite others to explore—to encounter the wonders of the world up close and in depth, and to be transformed by the experience.

Give Back

Exploration Happens Because of You

When you travel with us, you help further the work of the National Geographic Society. Every year, we distribute a portion of our proceeds to the Society, a global nonprofit that invests in an international community of changemakers—National Geographic Explorers—who use the power of science, exploration, education, and storytelling to protect and illuminate the wonder of our world.
