Award-winning tour operator Undiscovered Destinations is unveiling its carefully crafted collection of small group and tailor-made journeys for 2025–2027, reinforcing its position as one of the UK's leading specialists in authentic, truly off-the-beaten-track travel.

Founded in 2004, Undiscovered Destinations (ABTA, ATOL and AITO protected) has built a reputation as a trusted expert for adventurous travellers seeking meaningful, culturally immersive experiences to lesser-known destinations that they can enjoy with likeminded companions. Regions of the world covered include Africa, Asia & Pacific, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the Caribbean, Pacific and Indian Ocean islands.

Undiscovered Destinations offers guaranteed departures with no minimum group size on most of its tours, and groups are capped at just 12 people. Furthermore, most trips come with no compulsory single supplement, a major draw for solo travellers. The company also boasts an impressive 97% client satisfaction rate.

“Our clients are curious travellers looking far beyond the average travel tick list,” says Jim Louth, Director, Undiscovered Destinations. “They want sustainable, intriguing experiences that are out of the ordinary – whether that's cruising the Congo river, celebrating little known Bhutanese festivals, or exploring remote, unheard-of islands scattered across the Indian Ocean. They also like to plan ahead – and that is why we now have guaranteed departures as far ahead as 2027.”

Instead, Undiscovered Destinations works exclusively with trusted local partners and most of its guides are locally born and bring an authentic perspective. On multi-country itineraries, travellers meet a different guide in each destination.
