Hello One question I’m asked more than any other is, “Where would you travel next?” It’s never an easy one to answer because every trip seems to add another destination to my wish list. Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to experience our India’s Golden Triangle trip, and it reminded me exactly why I love to travel. From the timeless beauty of the Taj Mahal to the vibrant streets of Jaipur and Delhi, it was a journey full of unforgettable moments. But, as is so often the case, it was the people I met along the way and the different perspectives I came home with that have stayed with me the longest. Of course, one adventure only ever makes me think about the next. Right now, Walking in Provence and Upgraded Sri Lanka sit at the top of my wish list. They’re very different journeys, but both capture what Explore does best: authentic experiences, spectacular landscapes and meaningful local connections. It’s been another exciting year. We’ve expanded our collection with inspiring new adventures, continued to grow our Explore Upgraded range and we’re proud to be recertified as a B CorpTM. Through the Explore Foundation, we’ve continued supporting community and conservation projects, including funding 100 new beehives and two kilometres of protective fencing with How Many Elephants in Tanzania. Closer to home, we’re delighted to have been nominated in four categories at the Australian Travel Industry Awards, including the prestigious Most Outstanding Tour Operator – Global award. I hope these pages inspire your next adventure. Wherever you choose to go, I wish you a journey filled with unforgettable moments, new perspectives and memories that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

Hot off the press:

New trips! We’ve got an exciting collection of brand new trips and exhilarating experiences in store for 2027 and beyond. Here are just five of our favourites. Walking in Provence It’s near impossible to separate the landscapes of Provence – its orchards, limestone ridges and pine forests – from the abundant produce that has defined its reputation. So we wander through it on foot to gain a deeper understanding of both. Vineyard tracks lead to local cellars for tasting (the four-cuvées expert session is particularly wonderful after the hike from Gigondas to Beaumes-de-Venise) but in Saint-Rémyde-Provence, you’ll be intoxicated by the realisation you’re in Van Gogh’s inspiration for The Starry Night! For more information search online using trip code WPV.

Essential Japan – Tokyo, Mount Fuji and Kyoto Japan crackles with life, and we live it in the neon streets of Tokyo, on forest hikes on the lesser-visited side of Mount Fuji and in Kyoto’s old temples where we try grounding Zen meditation techniques. The bullet train zips us between the must-visits, affording time to pause for kanji script lantern making, to savour gyokuro in the green tea heartland and to potter around family-run shops in Yanaka. And our Highlights of Japan – Kyushu Island (JPK) trip can extend the adventure. For more information search online using trip code JPF.

Upgraded – Highlights of Nepal Nepal is a country with deep traditions, and to really get to know it, we have to stop to observe and embrace its customs. Sometimes that’s looking out for the Kumari, the living goddess, on Kathmandu’s historic Durbar Square. Other times it’s hand-throwing a clay pot with an artisan in Bhaktapur’s Pottery Square. We turn to a senior monk for an intimate exploration into meditation while lakes, the Himalaya, pretty villages and farmland inspire peace that we need no guidance to embrace. For more information search online using trip code DNP.

Egypt Upgraded The Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Lighthouse of Alexandria are early highlights on a journey that takes us deeper into a land of temples, treasure, tombs and amphitheatres. It’s not all retrospective appreciation either. The colourful stalls and competing scents of spices at the old Khan El Khalili Bazaar are as lively now as they were in the 1300s and cooking traditional dishes with a family in their home teaches us why age-old methods have stood the test of time.

Imperial China – Shanghai, Xian and Beijing

We hope you enjoy our 2027 collection of new trips! Rachael Stone Product and Operations Director

Three cities comprise China’s Golden Triangle, and each gleam with imperial majesty. From the cosmopolitan Shanghai, where the futuristic skyline is offset by the world’s largest collection of Art Deco architecture, we travel to the historic city of Suzhou, dubbed the Venice of China, with its intricate canals, quaint bridges, and UNESCO gardens. From here, we continue to Xian, where the Muslim Quarter beats its own frenetic rhythm near the home of the 8,000-strong Terracotta Army. The mind-boggling moments continue as the remarkably well-preserved palatial complex of the Forbidden City reveals the ancient heart of Beijing, before walking the iconic Great Wall and learning what these great fortifications were built to protect.

Slice of good A little extra filling for every adventure Every Explore Worldwide adventure is about connecting with a destination. But some journeys leave a little extra behind too. Our Positive Impact Experiences – or PIEs, as we fondly call them – create lasting benefits for local people, communities, wildlife and the environment.

e’ve already introduced 50 PIEs across our adventures worldwide, but that’s only the first batch. We’re working to bring further experiences to our trips, giving travellers even more opportunities to discover the places they visit in a meaningful way, while feeling confident that choosing Explore helps create a positive impact. Judging by travellers’ feedback, they’re often the moments people remember most.

Keeping Traditions Alive

Crafting New Opportunities

Growing Fairer Futures

On Indonesia’s Flores Island, a local artisan has transformed bamboo craftsmanship into opportunity. Alongside creating handmade products, he mentors young villagers who might otherwise struggle to find work. Visitors meet the maker, learn the craft and leave with a meaningful souvenir. As traveller Doreen said, “I especially appreciated visiting locals in their home setting or small businesses.”

At Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana, visitors discover how this Fairtrade cooperative ensures cocoa farmers receive fair prices for their harvest. Uniquely, the cooperative owns 44% of Fairtrade brand Divine Chocolate, giving cocoa farmers a genuine stake in the global chocolate trade. From cocoa pod to chocolate bar, you’ll see how Fairtrade helps farming families build more secure futures through producer ownership.

Experience this on Discover Bali, Flores & Komodo Islands, search trip code KBM online.

In North Macedonia’s Prespa region, Ana brings together women through the Rural Women of Prespa organisation. Older members pass down traditional recipes, farming knowledge and customs, while younger women bring fresh ideas and hospitality skills. Together, they’re keeping rural traditions alive, with tourism helping support their work for future generations.

Meet the tour leader Tour Leader Gennaro Pisacane describes Italians as ‘passionate, friendly, and hospitable’. Which is exactly how we would describe him! We asked Gennaro to share his passions.

Pizza is not just food, it’s about history, it’s about family. Choose authenticity

Long live Italy! My name is Gennaro Pisacane and I am Italian through and through. A true Italian, just like in the famous song by Toto Cutugno! My ancestors are Italian, we have always lived here, and I love my country deeply. I believe that the humanity and the capacity to dedicate oneself to others found in Italians are unmatched anywhere in the world.

I nurtured my dream When I first came across Explore in 2018, I remember being captivated by their travel philosophy. Responsibility, sustainability, and authenticity were concepts I believed in and had tried to foster in my career as a hotel manager. From that moment on, I dreamed of becoming an Explore Tour Leader. In 2023, my dream came true.

I’m proud of our millennia-old culture Italy lies at the heart of the Mediterranean, where the world’s oldest and most advanced civilisations – such as the Greeks and Romans

– flourished. These cultures have profoundly influenced Italy, a land that has always been a meeting point for different peoples. I trained in classical studies and love sharing my knowledge of these cultures with guests.

Travelling with me is full of surprises Our guests are always taken aback to discover that our culture lies at the foundation of theirs as well. I often tell them the origins of many words they use – words closely linked to the practices of the Romans. It makes them feel a little more Italian!

My favourite local dish? The pizza from the Amalfi Coast– in other words, the real pizza. I love sharing The Pizza Experience with guests. It perfectly conveys that pizza is not just food, but so much more – it’s about history, family, tradition. During tours along the Amalfi Coast, stories are told by a skilled and passionate ‘pizzaiolo’. Guests are deeply moved, and the pizza tastes even better thanks to these tales!

Find a trip that places great emphasis on experiencing Italian culture – one that offers accommodation in an Italian-run hotel, features an Italian guide, and utilises local suppliers. This is especially worthwhile if the location is a small Italian village, where the culture is better preserved than in larger cities.

My happy place is Amalfi And Rome. And Florence! But as a traveller, I’d also love to explore Greece and visit the most important cities of the Mediterranean, such as Istanbul and Jerusalem.

What to pack? When you travel to Italy, always bring with you the desire to smile and be moved. And when you leave for home, take with you the pleasure of dedicating yourself to others.

Chasing Europe’s sweet spot:

Shoulder season escapes

It’s like uncovering a secret. Either side of the summer crowds, Europe’s tempo is slower. Spring brings wildflowers; autumn an unhurried exhale after the busiest time of the year. Long sunny days are perfect for active exploration – warm enough to swim in the ocean then dine alfresco. Just the magic of finding a little slice of heaven at your own pace.

Best for… winding clifftop walks

Amalfi Coast Walking – Agriturismo or Family-Run Hotel Amalfi’s cragged coastline and sunshineyellow lemons are just as bright and zingy in shoulder season – you just don’t have to share them with as many people. Choose the accommodation that’s right for you: a plate-to-table agriturismo (NAW), a charming family-run hotel (NAWH) or a seafront hotel (NAWC). For more information search online using trip code NAW, NAWH, or NAWC.

Best for… island hopping and spellbinding mythology Greek Island Wanderer

Life slows down on the islands, even more so without the summer crowds. The authentic Greek experience remains – warm waters, cooling breezes as you island hop and dine in the golden light of evening in seafront tavernas. This is the stuff of legends: the Acropolis, Byzantine churches, and ancient ruins punctuate your walks. For more information search online using trip code GW.

Best for… ancient megalithic temples and charming towns Malta & Gozo Discovery

Explore the honey-gold medieval town of Mdina, the grand architecture, baroque cathedrals, and charming cafés of Valletta – or allow yourself to be transported even further back in time to some of the world’s oldest free-standing temples, older even than the pyramids. For more information search online using trip code MLA.

Best for… scenic strolls in national parks Walks and Coastal Towns of Croatia

If walled cities bursting with history, dramatic plunging gorges and serene lakes with jagged mountainous backdrops spark your imagination, then Croatia is calling. Drink in the sun-drenched views of the Adriatic Coast and feast on hearty flavours of homemade gnocchi and goulash. For more information search online using trip code CO.

Go beyond the usual seasons, and you’ll discover the magic of Europe’s slower tempo. Tom Wilkinson, Europe Programme Manager

Best for… the raw power of nature Walking the Fjords of Southern Norway

Norway’s raw and dramatic fjordland must be seen to be believed. This is a lush, green and rocky landscape sculpted by glaciers and overflowing with waterfalls. This trip blends the awesome power of nature with efforts to preserve it – from eco-friendly ferry journeys to craft cider from the Hardangerfjord’s picturesque orchards.

Finding peace

in Botswana’s wilderness

Carolann Rodgers travelled with her cousin to Botswana, on Explore’s 12-day Upgraded Wildlife Safari, following the passing of her husband. She chose the premium tour for its exceptional accommodation set in the heart of the country’s game reserves. Why did you choose to go on the Upgraded Botswana Wildlife Adventure? ‘My husband had passed away in October 2024. We’d spent so many years together that adjusting to life on my own felt overwhelming, and even everyday tasks suddenly seemed much harder. Planning a holiday was the last thing I felt capable of doing. That’s when my cousin, Yvonne, suggested a group trip. At first, the thought of travelling with people I didn’t know felt daunting, but Yvonne explained that Explore groups are small, this departure only had a maximum of 12 people. Her gentle encouragement won me over. We chose Botswana because it was the destination we both most wanted to visit, and the Upgraded itinerary immediately stood out. Even from the photos online, the accommodation looked exceptional. We were sharing a

edge of the Moremi Game Reserve. Both had swimming pools, outdoor showers and fantastic dining. For something completely different, we also spent two nights on a houseboat. Seeing the Okavango Delta from the water was truly special to me. In the evenings, Yvonne and I would sit on deck watching the sunset over the river. It was incredibly peaceful. We spotted elephants, hippos and crocodiles that basked along the banks. Surrounded by so much wildlife and natural beauty, it was impossible not to feel a sense of wonder and calm. Our final nights were spent in Zimbabwe, where we visited the Victoria Falls. It was a spectacular way to end the trip.’

Other than the accommodation, what stood out most about the trip? ‘The wildlife experiences were extraordinary. The guides were exceptional and worked tirelessly to make every game drive memorable. They were constantly communicating with colleagues across the reserve to help locate animals and ensure we had the best possible chance of seeing them in their natural habitat. Thanks to their expertise, we saw an incredible range of wildlife. Elephants and lions walked past our vehicle, we watched lion cubs playing alongside their mothers, giraffes stretching for leaves high in the trees, and a cheetah on the move. There were hippos, crocodiles, countless impalas and wildebeest, and skies filled with birdlife. Every day seemed to bring something new and exciting. The food deserves a special mention too. The variety was remarkable, and some of our most memorable meals were experiences in themselves, including dining in the bush and enjoying a traditional boma dinner cooked over open fires.’

What did you take away from the experience? room, but we wanted plenty of space, and the lodges appeared wonderfully spacious, with large bedrooms and bathrooms. We knew the extra comfort would be especially welcome after the early starts and full days spent out spotting wildlife, giving us somewhere special to unwind and recharge at the end of each day.

Were your expectations met? ‘Absolutely. We were blown away by the entire experience. Yvonne had dreamed of going on safari for years, and this was my first trip since losing my husband, so it felt incredibly important to both of us. The reality not only met our expectations, it exceeded them. Everything was excellent, from the accommodation and food to the wildlife encounters themselves. Our first lodge, near Maun, was nestled among acacia and leadwood trees, while our second enjoyed a beautiful setting on the

‘It gave me far more than a wonderful holiday. Travelling with a small group meant I never felt alone, yet I still had plenty of space to enjoy quiet moments and take everything in at my own pace. Of course, there were times when I thought about my husband and how much he would have loved being there. But being surrounded by such spectacular landscapes and wildlife helped me focus on the present and appreciate the privilege of the experience. Whether we were tracking animals, watching a herd of elephants cross the plains or setting off in search of a leopard, there was always something to marvel at. The trip reminded me that new adventures are still possible, even when life takes an unexpected turn.’ For more information on the Upgraded – Botswana Wildlife Safari search online using trip code DOZ, or turn the page for more Upgraded trip inspiration.

Growing a better future One trip at a time Making a positive impact is part of Explore Worldwide’s DNA. Through our partnership with Greening Australia, every journey helps protect and restore Australia’s unique environments and biodiversity.

ustralia’s landscapes tell stories that stretch back thousands of years, from ancient rainforests and coastal wetlands to vast wilderness areas home to some of the world’s rarest wildlife. But these natural wonders are changing, and protecting them requires action. That’s why Explore Worldwide has partnered with Greening Australia, a not-for-profit environmental enterprise striving to restore Australia’s ecosystems and create landscapes where people and nature can thrive. Through science-led restoration projects, Greening Australia is rebuilding habitats, preserving biodiversity and reconnecting communities with the natural world. “As a small group travel company and proud Certified B CorpTM, we believe travel should do more than take us somewhere new,” said Ben Ittensohn, Regional Director for Australia and New Zealand at Explore Worldwide. “It should create meaningful connections to land, support local communities and help protect the places that inspire us.”

Restoring The Reef

Planting Seeds Of Change

The health of the Great Barrier Reef begins far beyond the shoreline. Across the reef catchment, Greening Australia is working with landholders to repair eroding gullies and restore coastal wetlands, lowering pollutants entering rivers and oceans.

Restoration starts with a single seed. Over the past year, Greening Australia has planted more than 3.6 million native trees, shrubs and grasses across the country, strengthening ecosystems, sequestering carbon and helping biodiversity flourish. That’s almost 10,000 trees planted every day, bringing Australia’s diverse landscapes back to life one seed at a time.

In just one year, these efforts prevented an impressive 13,922 tonnes of pollutants from reaching our waterways. Every restored wetland and regenerated landscape plays a role in preserving the delicate ecosystems that make our UNESCO-listed reef and abundant marine life so extraordinary.

Restoring Habitats Together Every restoration project helps strengthen biodiversity and supports a more resilient future for Australia’s unique natural environment. Our commitment to restoration extends beyond funding. Members of the Explore team have also joined Greening Australia at Brisbane’s Archerfield Wetlands Parkland for hands-on tree planting, helping restore native habitat while seeing firsthand the difference these projects make.

When you travel with us, your holiday becomes part of something bigger. For Australians, every Explore Worldwide trip includes a donation to Greening Australia, meaning your adventure abroad also helps protect the precious natural world right here on your doorstep.

Coming soon...

A sustainability partnership in New Zealand is coming soon, which will have a similarly meaningful and long-term impact as our partnership with Greening Australia has delivered in Australia. Watch this space!

On walking trips, we’ll transport your main luggage, leaving you to carry just a day pack, while challenging treks may have additional guides for extra support. A support vehicle accompanies all of our cycling trips, providing extra reassurance along the route, while your Tour Leader is always available for help and guidance. They’re the beating heart and beaming smile of every trip, best placed to keep everything running smoothly and make sure everyone feels supported along the way.

A good night’s sleep Wherever possible we choose locally-owned and run properties. The vast majority of accommodation on our trips falls within the ‘comfortable’ category. Occasionally, when we’re travelling away from the beaten tourist trail, we may stay in simpler accommodation, while in some destinations we may choose a more premium hotel. Our accommodation choices are based on what’s available in the places we visit and experiences we want to include. We select our stays to suit the itinerary, not the other way around. To help you find a trip that matches your preferences, we rate our accommodation - you’ll find descriptions of each accommodation type below.

Simple

Characterful guesthouses, lodges, boats, camps or homestays offering an authentic local experience, sometimes with shared facilities. Perfect for adventurous travellers who prioritise experience over luxury.

Comfortable

Our most common accommodation category. Comfortable hotels, lodges and guesthouses with good facilities and welcoming service, typically equivalent to around three-star standard.

Premium

For more information check online or contact your travel agent

Please take a moment to check out the Booking Conditions and Essential Information pages on our website. They’re the best (and most up to date) place to find everything you need to know before you book.

Essential information about our Classic Discovery, Walking, Cycling and Family Tours Please carefully read through the following information about booking an Explore trip. When you book (whether by phone, travel agent or online), you will be asked to confirm that you have read and understood these pages, as well as our Trip Notes and Booking Conditions (www.exploreworldwide.com.au/bookingconditions or www.exploreworldwide.co.nz/booking-conditions). Guaranteed departures

Almost all our trips are guaranteed although certain trips are excluded because they require a minimum number of customers to run. We guarantee that the advertised itinerary will not be cancelled or significantly changed once the first booking is confirmed unless we are forced to do so by a “force majeure” (as defined in our Booking Conditions). There is no minimum group size, but we appreciate that the group experience is important to many of our customers and therefore, in some cases where there is an opportunity to suggest an alternative departure date which affords you a wider group experience, we will offer this as a no obligation alternative.

Itineraries

From time to time, some elements of our trips may change from those that have been published. This could be the result of inclement weather, a change in the local political situation or in flight or train schedules or other circumstances beyond our control. We will keep you as well informed as possible about these changes. Significant changes to your holiday will be notified as soon as we feasibly can. Minor amendments to your trip will be detailed on your final trip documentation, although our website will be regularly updated should you wish to check the information at any time. You will be provided with a provisional list of your accommodation shortly after booking. Whilst we expect to stay at the accommodation stated, please note that this is subject to change to an equivalent or higher standard at any time.

Group size

Whilst every group make up is different, the average group size on our adult tours is 11 people plus an Explore Tour Leader. The maximum group size differs across our tours depending on the nature of the trip, the transport, accommodation used and activities included, but will never be greater than 16 on our adults tours and is rarely smaller than 5. Our family tours usually have a group size of between 14-20 people, or 3-5 families, but on occasion may be smaller.

Eligibility for Family adventures

For our purposes, a family is defined as having a minimum of two people, with at least one adult over the age of 18 and one person 18 years or younger.

Age limits

The minimum age on most group trips featured in this brochure is 16. Because of the active nature of our Family Adventures, we provide guidelines regarding the minimum age that we feel is most suitable for each Family trip. This starts at 7 years of age at the time of travel depending on the level of activity involved and overall suitability. Trips to certain destinations have a higher age limit. Please refer to individual Trip Notes and our website for further information where applicable. A parent or guardian must book for and accompany anyone under the age of 18. Fitness and stamina are more important than age and we often find that some of our older travellers are the fittest in the group. Whilst we do not have a maximum age, we do recognise that at some point during our customers’

journey with us they will reach an age where we will have to review the fitness and ability to participate in the trips they’ve chosen to book. Should you be 80 years old or older at the time of travel, we will discuss the itinerary with you before booking you on the trip and may ask you additional questions about your health and fitness.

Fitness and trip participation

All our trips require some level of active participation. It is in the interests of all members of the group that everyone should be capable of fully participating in the activities of their chosen trip. With this in mind, please be aware that (as detailed in our Booking Conditions) if it is felt that any customer is not able to participate in a trip without endangering the health or safety of themselves or any other person (including other group members), or that the presence of the customer on the trip means we will be unable to provide the trip, in whole or part, to other members of the group as advertised and contracted, the Explore Tour Leader has the right to require them to leave the trip at any stage. To ensure that this is never necessary, please make sure that you have fully understood the level of fitness and ability required to complete the trip on which you are booking. It is your responsibility to let us know if you have any concerns related to this subject. If you have any medical condition or disabilities which may affect your trip arrangements in any way, you must provide us with full details at the time of booking. In certain circumstances, usually on more strenuous trips, we may require you to provide proof of medical fitness before travelling. On some of our trips, there will be water-based activities, boat excursions or swimming opportunities. For your own personal safety and enjoyment, an ability to swim is therefore strongly recommended. Several trips reach elevations of 2,500 metres or more. We allow time for acclimatisation and usually the body acclimatises well to spending extended periods of time above this altitude. It is difficult to predict who is at risk from altitude sickness but if you have a heart or respiratory problem we advise you not to risk extended travel or trekking at high altitudes.

Trip prices

The prices shown in this brochure are for guidance only. Prices represent the basic per person cost of the trip at the time of publication of this brochure. The price at the time of booking may be different. The latest guide prices for each trip departure can be found on our website.

NO SURCHARGE PRICE GUARANTEE Once we have confirmed your booking we guarantee the price of your confirmed services won’t change: we will not pass on surcharges of any kind. Unlike most other tour operators we will not pass on unexpected additional costs like fuel surcharges and tax increases.

What is included?

 Transport, meals and accommodation: all details are outlined in the individual Trip Notes.  Explore Tour Leader: the services of an Explore Tour Leader are included on nearly all trips. In most cases

they will accompany you for the full duration of the trip. On some trips a local representative may be provided instead (this will be outlined in the individual Trip Notes).  Local crew: as well as drivers and local guides, interpreters, cooks, helpers and porters may be provided on some trips (details will be outlined in the individual Trip Notes).  Bike hire is included on all cycling trips. Your included bike will be the correct frame size for your height. All bikes have a maximum rider’s weight limit which varies but is usually around 120kg. Should you exceed this weight you must mention this to us at the time of booking to enable us to try to source a suitable alternative. E-Bikes can be hired (subject to availability) on some trips for an additional charge. See Trip Notes for details.  Activities, equipment, sightseeing and visits: please see individual Trip Notes for details.

Transfers

We are pleased to be able to offer airport transfers on the majority of our tours, for customers arriving and departing on the trip’s start and end dates, providing you provide your flight details to us no later than 30 days before you travel and keep us updated with any changes. Please refer to your Trip Notes or joining information for further details and visit www.exploreworldwide.com.au/transfers or www. exploreworldwide.co.nz/transfers.

Parental responsibility on Family Adventures

Please note that Explore Tour Leaders are not expected to be child-minders. Parents and guardians booking on Explore Family Adventures agree to take full responsibility for any children travelling with them at all times. Any child under the age of 16 wishing to participate in the activities can do so only with the full consent of their parent or guardian.

What’s not included?

The price of the trip does not include: visa fees, vaccination charges, passport costs, international departure taxes, insurance premiums, excess baggage charges, optional trips and excursions, hotel porters or meals (other than those we list as included). We also do not include items of a personal nature such as laundry, room service charges, drinks or phone calls. Tipping isn’t included, nor is it compulsory, however it is customary to tip drivers, local crew and Tour Leaders who have done a good job. If you book on a trip only basis we do not include flights from Australia or New Zealand or departure taxes.

Single rooms

Most trips are based on customers sharing twin-bedded rooms. If you book a group trip as an individual, you will share a room with someone of the same sex. On rare occasions mixed sex rooms may be necessary. If applicable, this will be stated on the relevant Trip Notes. However, on many trips we offer the opportunity to pay a supplement to pre-book a single room. On some of these trips a single room will be provided every night, on others it will be provided on some nights, but for logistical reasons not all. Individual Trip Notes clarify this. Please note that on

Accommodation grades We know that finding the right place to stay is just as important as the destination and activities. All our accommodation is carefully chosen for location and character. Countries have varying standards and on some holidays a range of grades are used. Simple Our simple properties might be a guesthouse, lodge, boat, overnight train or camp with limited amenities. Sleeping arrangements will be simple; sometimes with en suite facilities but sometimes with shared bathroom facilities. Our simple category of accommodation includes characterful places where you’ll be in touch with the local way of life. Comfortable The majority of our accommodation is in the comfortable category. These properties are often locally-owned hotels, lodges and guesthouses. You can expect a good level of service, and sometimes other amenities like a restaurant, bar, garden or swimming pool. Star ratings vary widely from one country to the next, but our comfortable accommodation grade is usually equivalent to three star. Premium Our premium accommodation has been chosen for its excellent facilities and a higher level of comfort, but in some cases also for its character, location or local importance. Our hotels and lodges in this category are usually equivalent to four or five star standard.

rare occasions it may be necessary for customers in single rooms to share bathroom facilities. Please note that due to the nature of the accommodation we use, the single room supplement will guarantee you sole occupancy of the room, however single rooms may differ in configuration and may be smaller than a standard twin/double room.

Rooming arrangements on Family Adventures

We will room your family in the most appropriate way using a mixture of twin, triple, double and single rooms as necessary. Please note that sometimes a triple room may be a twin room with an additional bed added. We will leave it to you to decide who shares with whom in your family group. We will do our very best to give you rooms close to each other but we can’t promise this. In exceptional cases, where accommodation is limited, for example on boat-based trips, one or more of you may need to share with members of another family.

Preparing for your holiday

Travelling to far-flung corners of the earth involves adapting to living conditions that are often very different from your own. Please be prepared for unusual situations, local differences and unpredictable events. The very nature of adventure holidays means your most enjoyable moments are likely to come from the unexpected. You need to be sure you are happy to swap luxury for experience when joining an Explore trip. If you are someone who prefers things to go as planned and enjoys some pampering along the way, then maybe think twice about an adventure holiday. You should also be aware that some countries around the world have security problems. Unsavoury characters are likely to be active in big cities and street markets and certain areas may be considered ‘out-of-bounds’ for tourists. However, most crime is opportunistic. Using your common sense will reduce the risks. Unfortunately, no destination can be guaranteed to be safe from terrorism. We constantly monitor the political situation in the regions we visit and will re-route or cancel a trip if we feel it is necessary. Whilst we endeavour to provide as much information as possible in our brochure and individual Trip Notes regarding the areas our trips travel to, we would always recommend that you undertake some background research about the places you will be visiting and the type of climate and local conditions you can expect in order to get the most from your holiday.

Travel advice

The Australian and New Zealand Governments both provide information about overseas destinations. We strongly recommend that you read their comments about the country you are planning to visit, both when you book and again just before you leave. The information can be found here: Australian citizens: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/ destinations New Zealand citizens: https://www.safetravel. govt.nz/travel-advisories

The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office Travel Advice Unit provides detailed information about your destination. We strongly recommend that you read their comments about the country you are planning to visit, both when you book and again just before you leave, and that you sign up to the travel alert service. For the UK, the FCDO alert service can be found here: www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/email-signup. We monitor UK FCDO travel warnings and advice, and based on them, may cancel trips before departure, or re-route or make other changes to trips operating in or throughout the country concerned. Any decision we take about whether to operate or cancel a trip or make other changes will always be in the interests of your safety and security. We will make these decisions at least four weeks before departure, unless we believe that local conditions will improve before the start of the trip.

Travel insurance and pre-existing medical conditions

Explore has met ethy’s standards for verified sustainability claims. By achieving ethy certification, Explore is demonstrating contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and helping consumers make informed decisions. See our ethy ecolabels here: exploreworldwide.com.au/ethy or exploreworldwide.co.nz/ethy

Brochure / Website / Advertising material accuracy

The information contained in our brochure, on our website and in our other advertising material is believed correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of printing or publication. However, errors may occasionally occur and information may subsequently change. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen trip (including the price) with us or your travel agent at the time of booking.

You must have valid travel insurance. You will need to confirm to your Explore Tour Leader that you are covered by a travel insurance policy at the start of the trip. Please ensure that your documentation shows you as the named policyholder and that the cover is valid for the entire period of travel. It must also indicate that you have cover for (at least) Medical Expenses and Emergency Repatriation in the event of illness or injury. Please ensure that a 24 hour contact telephone number for your Insurance Company is written on your documentation in case of an emergency. If you are unable to provide this information at the start of the trip you will not be able to continue with us unless you purchase a suitable insurance policy.

Explore Worldwide Ltd. Registered Office: Nelson House, 55 Victoria Road, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 7PA, UK. VAT No. 358 7552 13. Issue date: 6th September 2026.

If you, your travelling companions, or anyone upon whom your travel depends (such as a friend or family member) have a pre-existing medical condition, you must disclose this to your travel insurer’s medical screening helpline when you purchase your insurance policy. Failure to do so may result in your claim being declined. Please ensure that you receive written confirmation from them that the condition is covered. You must take this written confirmation with you on the trip, in addition to the insurance policy itself. If you don’t, you may not have appropriate cover. We reserve the right to cancel your booking at any point if you do not fully insure your pre-existing medical condition. Please also tell us about any pre-existing medical conditions at the time of booking.

Please note it is your responsibility to ensure you have the correct, current information in good time before departure and that you act on it. Please ensure that you are in possession of a full passport, with the correct validity and appropriate number of blank pages for your chosen destination. Please note that passport information is subject to change at any time.

Changes to flight information

We strongly recommend that you do not purchase nonflexible, non-refundable connecting rail, air or bus tickets, as they usually incur cancellation or penalty charges in the event of a change to the departure time or date.

Aircraft weight restrictions

For the purposes of flight safety, it is essential that you adhere to the luggage weight restrictions imposed by the airline you are flying with, particularly when flying on internal flights on smaller aircraft.

Trip only packages

Our trip only packages start and finish at the designated overseas joining and ending point. Trip only packages do not include any connecting flights to or from the joining or ending point. If you are planning to book a trip only package on one of our trips, then we strongly recommend that you only purchase flights/train/bus tickets that are totally flexible and refundable. This is because by their very nature, adventure holiday itineraries can change and it’s important that you’re able to amend your connecting travel arrangements should the need arise. In the event of a trip being cancelled, it is important that you are able to get a refund if you no longer wish to use the associated flight, bus or train. We regret that we cannot accept liability for any connecting travel arrangements that you make (including any cancellation or amendment charges) in the event of any change to, or cancellation of, our trip; or for any other reason that makes you unable to use your booked travel arrangements.

Consumer peace of mind

Passport information

Visas

It is your responsibility to ensure you have the correct visas required for all countries that you will enter or pass thorough on your trip. Many countries require a visa to be obtained before travel or on arrival. If required, visas can be obtained through a Visa Service or the relevant Embassy or Consular Office.

General Note

Some countries refuse admission to travellers not meeting their accepted standards of dress or appearance (even if they hold a visa). Entry may also be refused to some countries if your passport bears stamps or visas (valid or expired) from certain countries. Please bear this in mind when booking/ travelling to these destinations as it can negatively impact your future travel plans. Further information can be found on our Trip Notes where applicable.

Vaccinations

It is your responsibility to ensure you have the correct vaccinations required for all countries that you will visit on your trip. Explore Trip Notes detail the recommended vaccinations for each trip but you must consult with your doctor or a travel health clinic to ensure you have the most up to date advice. Please note that some inoculation programmes require multiple injections, administered four weeks apart. You should leave plenty of time for this. As a general rule, please note that health requirements and recommendations may change and you must check the current requirements in good time before departure.

Under 18 immigration guidance Please note that some countries require proof of parental consent when travelling overseas with under 18s. Please check requirements with the relevant embassy or consular office well in advance of travel if this applies to your party.

Lone parents travelling with children

Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country. For further information on exactly what will be required at immigration please contact the consulate of your destination country.

Your Privacy Explore takes your privacy extremely seriously. We are committed to doing everything we can to protect any personal information provided to us when you enquire about or book a holiday or another travel service with us, when you visit our website, or when you engage with us by other means. This equally applies if someone else makes arrangements on your behalf. For full details of what, why and how we collect and use your personal information, how we protect it and how you can contact us, see our online Privacy Centre at www.exploreworldwide.com.au/privacy or www.exploreworldwide.co.nz/privacy If you handle the arrangements for other travellers, please ensure they are aware of the information contained within our Privacy Centre and they consent to you acting on their behalf in your dealings with us. To enable us to make holiday arrangements for you, we may ask you to provide information such as: • your name, gender, date of birth, contact details; • your preferred rooming arrangements and other special requests (including special categories of personal data such as dietary requirements, which may disclose health matters or your religious or philosophical beliefs, and information about any disability or medical condition which may affect the chosen holiday arrangements.); • the name and telephone number of an emergency contact person (whom we will only contact in urgent circumstances while you are away); • your passport and travel insurance details; • details of your payment card or your bank account (this information is processed using a third party payment services provider and is not stored by us). When you call us or correspond with us about your booking, we may record the call for training and quality control purposes and/or keep information on why you contacted us, and the advice we gave you. On your return from holiday we email or post a satisfaction questionnaire to you. This gives us specific feedback on any issue you may have experienced, and statistical data we can amalgamate in order to monitor the quality of our holidays. We may use your holiday feedback on third party review companies.

We will need to share your data with third party service providers, used in the delivery of your purchased holiday arrangements, some of which may be based outside the EEA. These providers include accommodation, restaurants and transport providers; local ground partners and agents, where we use them; equipment hire operators, including our cycling partners and guides, tutors and local attractions where booked on your behalf.

We have found over the years that the majority of people welcome these communications and, those who do not are happy to let us know so we can ensure no more are sent. If you ask us to stop sending marketing information, you may continue to receive communications for up to 4 weeks after your requested change while our systems are fully updated.

We keep the information related to your booking for a period which enables us to handle or respond to any complaints or queries and to fulfil our obligations to our third party suppliers who provided your holiday arrangements. The information may also be retained so that we can continue to improve your experience with us while you engage with and purchase from us. By law we have to keep basic information about our customers for legal and tax purposes for up to 7 years after they cease being customers.

If you fail to provide personal information

Website use

Should you fail to provide data required either by law, or necessary to provide your chosen travel arrangements, we will not be able to provide the services you have booked or are attempting to book. This may result in Explore being unable to process your booking and being forced to cancel the booking. In this case, we will treat this as a ‘cancellation by you’ in accordance with the relevant Booking Terms & Conditions and notify you accordingly.

Marketing communications

We may use your information to provide you with brochures, newsletters and other communications if you have provided your prior consent or we are permitted under an identified and assessed legitimate interest. We sell our holidays directly to customers and so sending out brochures and other marketing communications by post from time-to-time is very important to the way we do business. We use data we have collected from bookings, brochure requests and other forms of engagement to decide what marketing information our customers may like to receive, and we use it in accordance with marketing consent. We do provide an opportunity to opt-out of this direct marketing during the booking or enquiry process and in subsequent communications, or you may contact us at any time to do so.

From time-to-time, our staff, customers and suppliers may take photographs and video footage of trips in progress, including photos and video footage of our customers. You will be invited to sign a model release form to consent to this. These images may be used in future marketing materials and stored physically and digitally. If you do not wish to be filmed or for your pictures to be taken or used in this manner, please advise your Explore Leader and/or the photographer at the start of your trip. In order for us to provide you with the optimum service, we use ‘Cookies’ on our website. Cookies are small text files sent to your computer when you access our site. Cookies used on our site are anonymous and contain no personal information, but do identify your computer so that you can navigate our site more easily and our website can remember your preferences. For more information about what cookies we use and how to manage them please refer to our Cookie Policy at www.exploreworldwide.com.au/privacy/cookies or www.exploreworldwide.co.nz/privacy/cookies.
