Here's What to Expect
Booking a FurtherTravel tour? Here's what to expect.
Planning your next trip should feel exciting, not like a massive to-do list full of stress! That’s why every one of our group trips are designed to be stress-free, full of adventure and fully organised from the moment you book to the moment you arrive.
You pick your adventure. We take care of the rest. Whether you’re travelling alone, with friends, or with your partner, our trips focus on connection. You’ll enjoy great itineraries, expert local guides, and a group of new friends ready to make every moment unforgettable!
Step 1
Choose Your Adventure!
Every traveller’s got their own vibe, so our trips are designed to match the way you want to explore the world. Some are all about adventure - pushing your limits and stepping outside your comfort zone. Others mix island hopping, wildlife, and cultural experiences that let you dive straight into a destination. If you’re in the mood for a good boogie and let your hair down, we’ve got trips that combine travel with epic parties and unforgettable nights out.
Plus, if you want to travel with purpose, some trips include volunteering and community projects, so you can make a real difference while having an amazing adventure. Right now, you can explore places like Thailand, Bali, the Maldives, South Africa, Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Philippines - with more destinations on the horizon. (Exciting!) All that’s left to do? Find the trip that feels like you… and let the adventure begin.
Step 2
Book Your Spot
Once you’ve found the trip that feels right, locking in your spot is the easy part!
You can book straight through our website with a low deposit, then spread the rest of the cost with flexible payment options. It means you can secure your place now and pay it off over time, nice and simple! Or you can pay in full - totally up to you!
And for extra peace of mind, every booking is fully protected through ABTOT, so from the moment you confirm your place, you can relax and start getting excited about your next adventure!
Step 3
Get Ready To Travel
Once you’ve booked, that’s when you can get really excited! We’ll send you everything you need to get ready - from travel info and arrival details to packing tips and handy guides so you know exactly what to expect. If you’re unsure or nervous about anything along the way, our team is always around to help. No question is too small, and we’re always here to chat if you have any pre-trip nerves! A lot of travellers also start chatting with their group before the trip through our online community and our WhatsApp groups. So by the time you land, you might already recognise a few faces!
Step 4
Meet Your Group
Over 80% of our travellers join solo - so if you’re feeling a little nervous about arriving on your own, you’re definitely not the only one! Everyone arrives in the same boat, open to meeting new people and sharing the adventure together.
When you land, our local team will be there to welcome you and introduce you to the rest of your group and your guide. Before long, you’ll be hanging out with your new besties and making incredible memories!
Step 5
Experience The Trip
On your trip, you’ll explore incredible destinations, dive into unforgettable experiences, and connect with local communities in ways most travellers never get to.
Every trip mixes planned activities with plenty of free time to wander, relax, or chase your own adventures. Fancy a sunrise hike, a lazy morning by the pool, or a wild night out? Go for it. Want to explore local markets, dive into turquoise waters, or just chill with a new friend and take it all in? It’s your adventure, you choose.
Everything is included
When you book one of our trips, what you see is what you get - unlike some other tour providers, we include all the good stuff! No cutting corners here! Every activity listed on each tour page is included in the price. We’re talking elephants, snorkel tours, temple visits and floating bungalows.
We could go on…We don’t like hidden stuff, so there’s no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons, and no pressure to pay extra once you arrive. Your adventure is fully taken care of; all you have to do is sort your flights, insurance, some meals/ snacks and bring some spending money! (Don’t worry if you need help finding flights, our flights team are more than happy to help!)
If you want to do some extra activities on free days - like diving or cooking classes, you can, but it’s totally up to you! This is your trip, and you get to choose how to live it.
Hotels, Not Hostels
After a full day of exploring, we want you to have a good night’s sleep! That’s why we don’t do cramped hostels with lumpy mattresses, cold showers, or roommates who snore like your dad. Instead, our trips treat you to a little slice of luxury: infinity pools for a midday dip, swim-up bars for a post-adventure cocktail, and beds so comfortable you’ll actually have a good night’s sleep!
Local Guides Who Know The Destination
Our trips are led by local guides who actually live and have grown up there - not group leaders who are flown in for the tour. These are people who eat, sleep, and breathe their country, and who can’t wait to show you all the hidden gems, local spots, and experiences you’d never find on your own!
With them, every day feels like a real adventure, full of stories, laughs, and moments you’ll be talking about long after the trip ends.
Bespoke Experiences You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
Our trips are one-of-a-kind. Every activity, every hotel, and every guide is handpicked by our local teams and FurtherTravel experts.
Hidden gems, epic adventures, and unforgettable moments - all ready for you to dive into.
Built Around Community
We’re all about community.
It’s about the friendships you’ll make, the locals you’ll meet, and the experiences that turn a trip into a story you’ll never forget. Every trip is packed with hidden gems, off-the-beaten-path moments, and plenty of opportunities to connect with so many new friends.
Travel that’s meaningful, fun, and full of memories? That’s what we’re all about.
Safety Comes First
All trips come with financial protection through ABTOT, and every activity and hotel has been tried and tested to make sure you have an unforgettable adventure. On top of that, our trusted local guides bring years of experience and insider knowledge, while our supportive team is there every step of the way - before you leave and throughout your journey!
Our trips are designed so you can focus on exploring, having fun, and making memories, without worrying about a thing!
