Holidays for Young Adults

Discover holiday packages, small group tours and travel experiences designed for young adults aged 18-35 who want to see the world and meet like-minded travellers along the way.

Top travel experiences for young adults

Travel independently without travelling alone. Enjoy group holidays for 18-35's with a crew of travellers your own age, on itineraries built around the things that suit your style and budget. Experience festivals in Spain, island hopping in Greece, sunrise hikes in Croatia and long nights out in Italy, while someone else sorts out the logistics. Spend your leave actually travelling rather than planning the journey.

Travel with trusted partners like Contiki, who have been running trips for 18-35s for more than six decades, and Intrepid, whose small-group adventures put young adults closer to local cultures in sought-after destinations from Vietnam and Mexico to Costa Rica and China.

Frequently asked questions

Group travel takes the hard work out of a big trip. Transport, accommodation and the main highlights are organised for you.
 
Usually this means better value than booking everything separately, a more budget-friendly way to travel and far less time spent planning. You also benefit from experienced local leaders who know the places worth visiting, a built-in social group of travellers your own age, and support on the ground if plans change.
 
For younger travellers, group tours can offer a balance between structure and independence. Intrepid Travel's dedicated 18 to 35s trips are designed for travellers who want to experience a destination without overspending while travelling with others at a similar life stage. 
 
Operating in Intrepid's Basic travel style, these trips typically use simple accommodation and local transport to help keep costs down, while still including the destination's major highlights. The trips combine shared travel experiences with plenty of free time, allowing travellers to explore independently and choose optional activities that suit their interests and budget.
 
Group travel can also make it easier to access unique travel experiences. Intrepid's Sailing trips, which operate in destinations such as Croatia and Greece, combine small-group travel with the freedom of exploring multiple islands and coastal communities, making them a popular option for younger travellers seeking a more social style of holiday.

Yes. Many group tours are designed with solo travellers in mind, making them a popular choice for those who value independent travel with the support of a group. 
 
Small-group tours are especially well suited to solo travellers, as they make it easier to get to know fellow travellers while still leaving plenty of free time to explore at their own pace. This can be particularly appealing for first-time solo travellers and women travelling solo, who may appreciate the support of a group while maintaining their independence. 
 
Many popular tours for young adults work well for solo travel, such as Intrepid Travel's small-group 18 to 35s trips through countries such as Peru, Turkey, Sri Lanka and New Zealand, or G Adventures' Solo-ish trips which are designed exclusively for solo travellers in destinations such as Spain, Cambodia and Mexico. 
 
Contiki is another popular option, with more than half of its travellers joining trips on their own. Their 18 to 35s tours visit countries like Japan, Vietnam, Italy and South Africa, making it easy to explore new places alongside other young travellers.
 
Topdeck's small-group tours are also well suited to solo travellers. Popular itineraries cover Croatia, Greek Islands, Thailand and Scandinavia, while group sizes of up to 18 travellers can make it easier to connect with others without the pace and dynamics of a larger tour group. 
 
Accommodation arrangements vary between operators and trip styles. Many young adult tours use twin-share accommodation, meaning if they choose to, solo travellers are often paired with another traveller of the same gender and can avoid paying a solo supplement. Travellers who prefer the privacy of their own room can usually request private accommodation for an additional cost, subject to availability. If accommodation is an important consideration, it's worth chatting with your travel agent who can help you compare the available rooming options for each tour.
 

Popular destinations for young travellers often combine affordability, adventure, culture and opportunities to share the experience with other travellers.
 
Asia, in particular, destinations such as Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and South Korea, remains a favourite for young adults thanks to its mix of food, nightlife, natural scenery, cultural experiences and relatively affordable travel costs.
 
Europe is another hugely popular choice, with countries such as Italy, Greece, Spain and Turkey attracting travellers looking to experience different cultures, historic cities and iconic landmarks. Multi-country itineraries are especially popular for those wanting to see more of the region in a single trip.
 
For young travellers seeking something more adventurous, Peru, Sri Lanka, India, Morocco and South Africa offer unique landscapes, wildlife encounters and opportunities to immerse themselves in local culture. From hiking to Machu Picchu in Peru to spotting wildlife on safari in South Africa, these destinations combine adventure with unforgettable travel experiences. They're often explored on small-group tours, making them a great option for travellers who want the support of a group while discovering somewhere new.
 
New Zealand, particularly the South Island, is also a popular destination for young travellers thanks to its spectacular scenery, outdoor adventures, road-trip routes and world-class hiking opportunities.
