The National Geographic Difference

Travelers share a laugh with their CEO in the shadow of Japan’s Himeji Castle.

TOP LOCAL GUIDES SHOW YOU THE WAY

Each trip is led by a Chief Experience Officer, or CEO, who knows the destination intimately and whose main purpose is to make your trip extraordinary. Your CEO will share insights on celebrated sites and local culture, and introduce you to fascinating people; and they know all the best food spots too, from world-renowned restaurants to local favorites.

Over the past 134 years, we’ve sent our scientists, storytellers, and adventurers across continents and into remote cultures, down to the oceans’ depths and up the highest mountains in an effort to better understand our planet. Our travel program grew from this legacy as a way to invite others to explore—to encounter the wonders of the world up close, in depth, right at the source, and to be transformed by the experience.

You’ll enjoy access to people and projects supported by National Geographic or G Adventures, whether you’re helping to build a clean cookstove with Maasai women in Tanzania or learning about traditional weaving from a rural Andean community in Peru. EXPLORATION HAPPENS BECAUSE OF YOU National Geographic and G Adventures believe that travel can and should be a force for good in the world. By traveling with us, you support community projects and initiatives that improve livelihoods in the places we visit.
