TORONTO — Intrepid Travel has introduced a new Premium Walking and Trekking range, a collection of 10 itineraries designed to combine iconic hikes with elevated comfort. The new product line is tailored for the North American market and is expected to appeal strongly to the growing segment of active luxury travellers.
The itineraries pair world-class trails with premium stays, enhanced service and exclusive local experiences. Accommodation highlights include boutique hotels in Italy’s Dolomites and eco-resorts in Vietnam’s Sapa Valley. Each itinerary balances physical adventure with added comfort, aligning with demand from clients who want active experiences without compromising on style.
“Advisors can sell these with confidence knowing they combine bucket-list adventure with premium comfort, which we know drives repeat bookings and referrals,” said Laura Hernandez, Head of US Partnerships at Intrepid Travel.
The new range builds on two of Intrepid’s fastest-growing segments. Premium, introduced in 2022, has become the company’s best-performing travel style, while Walking and Trekking bookings have grown nearly ninefold. For travel advisors, the new combination offers both strong demand and attractive commission potential.
Among the highlights is a three-day Premium Hiking in the Grand Canyon trip, priced at USD $2,465, featuring stays at the historic El Tovar Hotel on the South Rim. A nine-day Premium Hiking and Trekking in Morocco itinerary (USD $2,495) takes travellers from a Marrakech riad into the Tiziane Valley of the High Atlas Mountains and coastal Essaouira, complete with cliffside and shoreline hikes and local picnics.
In Madeira, a six-day Premium Walking and Hiking trip (USD $3,835) includes an ascent of Pico Ruivo for sweeping volcanic views, plus seafood feasts and a winery visit. A seven-day Premium Walking and Hiking in Jordan journey (USD $3,710) highlights the Dana Biosphere Reserve, Petra, and overnight stays at luxury desert camps and an eco-lodge, complemented by Jordanian food, wine and hospitality.
All tours are small-group with an average of 10 travellers, led by expert local guides. Premium accommodations are handpicked, and inclusions are designed to ensure both value and comfort.
For advisors, the range offers several advantages. The premium price point supports higher commissions, and the product is positioned to appeal to the active 50+ demographic. Shorter itineraries of three to six days provide flexibility as add-ons or multi-stop components. The range also carries the assurance of Intrepid’s 35 years of responsible travel expertise.
The Premium Walking and Trekking trips are now available for booking, with departures starting in January 2026. Advisors can find full itineraries go to https://www.intrepidtravel.com/au/new-trips.
