Experiential travel is trending, but today’s travelers want to go deep enough to live within a culture and get an immersive experience. Tell someone you’re interested in a cultural immersion experience, and they’ll probably think of student exchange programs. But today’s travelers crave an immersive, interactive experience that takes them on a journey into local life, and tour companies are delivering.
G Adventures takes guests on a deep dive into local culture where guests unpack once at a central home base like a Tuscan farmhouse or lodge in the Amazon jungle. Once guests are settled, they’re ready to launch into a connected experience of how the locals live. Learn to cook authentic cuisine, see off-the-beaten-path locations, befriend the locals and come away from the experience with a fresh new perspective on a new home away from home.
Culture Explorers takes travelers on a one-of-a-kind experience using food, arts and nature to connect deeply to a destination. Travelers come away with unique insights on the culture and living tradition by taking unique adventures from vibrant festivals to hiking the rugged coastline of Cap de Creus.
Founded by a travel writer, Wild Frontiers takes small groups on tailor-made holidays for extraordinary travel experiences. Groups take tours to areas like Uzbek and Turkmen to learn more about cities of the Silk Road or a journey to the heart of Indochina in Laos and Cambodia.
Pick and choose tour companies and experiences based on your group size, family dynamic or solo travel sensibilities that push you out of your comfort zone. And the best part about cultural immersive experiences, there are always dozens more to try. Add it to your wish list and make cultural immersion part of your new travel lifestyle.
