Edited by Travel Weekly

Adventure tour operator Explore Worldwide has launched a new range of destinations for 2025 with Chile, Ghana, Finland, Ireland, and more.

This latest offering brings an exceptional array of adventures and cultural immersion in off-the-beaten-path destinations. Over the past year, explore has seen remarkable growth, recently reporting a 59 per cent year-over-year growth in bookings, fuelled by its commitment to pioneering new destinations and continually expanding where its customers want to go and the experiences they can have.

Explore has introduced a West African adventure in Ghana, where they stand out as one of the few small-group operators offering a standalone trip to the emerging destination. Other highlights include an exhilarating Gorilla Discovery tour in Uganda and Rwanda, as well as a winter escape to Finland, where travellers get to experience the magic of Husky sledding through the snow-covered wilderness.

Each tour promises immersive and authentic encounters with local people, traditions, and landscapes, all while maintaining a light environmental footprint.
