     Intrepid Travel offers inexpensive, small-group, non-touristy, deeply-cultural international sightseeing adventures.  Travelers typically stay in local guesthouses or small hotels, take local transportation, eat at local restaurants ... typically no tourist buses, no tourist restaurants, etc.  This method of travel enables sightseers to delve deeply into local culture while saving money!  OASC members have been to China, Costa Rica, Egypt, the Galapagos, Peru (Machu Picchu, Inca Trail, and Amazon Rainforest Jungle), and Vietnam.  You can choose your own destination and join a small group of interesting travelers from all around the world!  For more information or to make a reservation, contact Matt and receive a 5% discount on most trips.

 

Quotes from OASC Intrepid Travelers:

  • "Matt ... This trip was great. I love Intrepid's culture-consciousness, and the way in which they included activities rarely made us feel like 'tourists.'  It was well-planned and the free time was great.  I would definitely use the company again. And Vietnam and the people were beyond description. Don't miss this destination...and don't wait for them to modernize too much more before you go. You don't want to miss the traditional people, villages and traditions!!  Loved it. Thx for your help in arranging it."

          ~ Shari, on Intrepid Travel to Vietnam

  • "Intrepid was fantastic. The trip may have been the best I've ever done."

          ~ David, on Intrepid Travel to Egypt

  • "Matt, the trip to the Galapagos was fantastic!  What a special place that is. Swimming with the sea lions was probably my favorite part.  Thanks for helping us set up the trip."

          ~ Steven, on Intrepid Travel to the Galapagos

  • "I'm so glad I went! Costa Rica is a beautiful country with so many plants and animals to see. I loved all the stuff I did; ziplining, hiking, hot springs, white water kayaking, snorkeling, etc."

          ~ Rebecca, on Intrepid Travel to Costa Rica

  • "David and I took the Intrepid trip 'Essence of China Southbound' for three weeks from Beijing to Hong Kong. It was amazing in its diverse destinations including places not frequented, such as staying in two monasteries on Mt. Emei (a sacred Buddhist pilgrimage destination) and visiting the Grand Buddha in Leshan just to mention two. We always stayed in ethnic areas, not heavily touristed, and had great places to explore nearby. As always with a longer Intrepid trip, lots of free time is built in for those of us who love to wander and discover. Even our trip down the Yangtse River was on a Chinese tourist boat, no Westerners in sight. We had a great adventure and loved it all! I highly recommend the 'Original' Intrepid trips and have had the best time with that category."

          ~ Shari, on Intrepid Travel to China
