Marvel at ancient ruins as you tour Cambodia, cruise the Mekong River, sail between the islands in Thailand, relax onboard your junk boat in Halong Bay or cycle through this mesmerising region to experience the local culture in a way that wouldn't otherwise be possible.

G Adventures came from a desire to deliver authentic and responsible small group travel adventures that were equally life-changing for travellers and the more communities they visit. And we’re been doing just that for almost 30 years. Our award-winning trips span seven continents and over 100 countries, giving you meaningful experiences with people, cultures, landscapes and wildlife, as well as offering you the freedom and flexibility to explore on your own.
On all of our tours, you get to know locals every step of the way, from the places you visit and stay to where you eat and drink. You’ll also get to experience our ‘G for Good’ social impact initiatives on-trip, including our industry-leading ‘Ripple Score’. This score measures, as a percentage, the amount of money that stays in the local community through on-trip services like accommodation, restaurants and transport.

Since 2005, Intro Travel have been creating life changing travel experiences for 18-40+ year olds. Our group tours are designed to help you connect, explore, more taste and give back to the world, all whilst making a new crew of mates along the way. We’re a little different to your standard big tour operator. We spend endless hours finding the best accommodation and the best experiences, many of which we create from scratch with our local partners to give you a truly unique experience.
While our trips are laid back and relaxed with plenty of time to do your own thing, we don’t pad out our itineraries with loads of free time to explore or optional activities like other operators. Everything you'd want plus some special surprises are always included.

Fabulous Mekong River Cruise
Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong
Tracey and Martin, NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We recently returned from the Emerald Mekong River Cruise through Vietnam and Cambodia. This was our first Emerald Cruise and will not be our last, it exceeded all expectations, the staff, sightseeing and boat were sensational. Our booking through Global Journeys with Hannah as out consultant was very simple and the trip went without any issues. Would read more highly recommend Emerald Cruises and Global Journeys.
Vietnam & Cambodia
A Mekong Experience
Jennelle and Andrew, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
Just returned from an amazing experience with Wendy Wu booked through Global Journeys. The experiences exceeded our expectations. The guides took great care of everyone and were wonderful at meeting everyone's personal needs. We had a 95 year old who had planned the trip with his wife, who sadly passed away a few months prior. A beautiful bunch of read more travellers that looked after him throughout. There were many highlights but the most important reflection of the journey was the diversity of experiences and the support of the local communities especially in Cambodia. It is a tour that is more than about visiting historical sites and temples. The communities we visited expressed their gratitude for Wendy Wu and the impact that the support of these agents is having in their community. We were welcomed into peoples homes where they so willingly shared their skills and daily life with us. So many welcoming smiles from people that have so little.
Mekong with APT
Vietnam and Cambodia Highlights
Phil and Diana, ACT, Australia, Oct 2025
Another great trip where GJ's organisation took a lot of the complexity and hassle out of things. The local guides were truly awesome, and the Mekong Serenity is lovely.
Asia Asia Asia!
Treasures of the Mekong
Peter and Kathryn , Auckland , New Zealand, Oct 2025
I enjoyed our voyage up tte Mekong River in October (25th onwards). The weather was perfect, the Scenic boat sensational and we had no hints of issues. I really have nothing to say as everything was perfect.
Great trip through Vietnam and Cambodia
Wonders of Vietnam and Cambodia
Phil and Linda, WA, Australia, Oct 2025
Our first time adventure to Vietnam and Cambodia and our first time travelling with Travelmarvel. Was very impressed with Travelmarvel. Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable trip. Our TD, Mr Thoi, was brilliant. Very professional, nothing was too much trouble for him and always a simile on his face. The local guides were also good. Extremely knowledgeable read more and great sense's of humor. The accommodation throughout the tour was excellent. Pity we did not have a bit more time to enjoy the facilities at some of the hotel / resorts. The dining was excellent, particularly on the Mekong River cruise. Would have no issue to recommend travelling with Travelmarvel through Vietnam and Cambodia. Finally, again, great service from Tracey at GJ. Look forward to booking our next adventure with GJ.
Along the Mekong- Cambodia to Vietnam
Essential Vietnam and Cambodia
Mandy and Peter, NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent rip along the Mekong. There were lots of opportunities to sitesee on set tours or to do what one wished. We love that flexibility, as after all it’s our trip to enjoy! The staff from TravelMarvel and onboard the boat were amazing to deal with, with nothing ever being a problem. And I won’t even talk about the food as read more there was so much choice of excellent quality and quantity. A wonderful trip for an older couple.
