G Adventures is expanding its fast-growing Geluxe Collection with 16 new trips, aimed at travellers seeking active, immersive experiences beyond the traditional beach holiday,

The new offerings bring the Geluxe Collection to 82.

“Geluxe has become one of our biggest success stories because it delivers exactly what many travellers have been looking for: active days balanced with exceptional places to stay, incredible food and genuine local connection,” says Yves Marceau, VP of Product at G Adventures. “These new coastal adventures are a natural evolution of the collection. They showcase some of the world’s most beautiful coastlines while giving travellers the opportunity to experience the people, wildlife and cultures that make these destinations truly special.”

G Adventures’ research shows that that travellers feel happiest when spending time by the coast, with ‘time on a beach’ ranking first and being ‘in or on the water’ ranking second.

The new itineraries immerse travellers in destinations shaped by the sea through hiking, kayaking, wildlife encounters, local cuisine and meaningful cultural experiences, says Marceau.

The Geluxe Collection has become one of G Adventures’ most popular product ranges, with active, small-group adventures combined with premium accommodation, immersive food experiences and community tourism that brings each destination to life. Every itinerary also features the Geluxe Collection’s signature OMG Day, where travellers choose between two equally memorable experiences, and an OMG Stay – at least one exceptional accommodation chosen for its character, location or sense of place.
