Budget-friendly trips for young explorers
From the coast to cultural festivals, find trips that fit a student or first-job budget. We show starting prices upfront and tell you what is included.
Who it's for
- •Students and young professionals travelling on a budget
- •Solo travellers and small groups of friends
- •People who care more about the experience than the thread count
Good to know
- •Starting prices are per person. The final price depends on dates, group size and what you choose to include.
- •Travelling with friends can bring the per-person cost down. Ask us about sharing a vehicle.
- •Tell us your real budget. We would rather suggest something that fits than something that doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Can I travel solo?
Yes. Tell us your dates and we will say which trips work for one person and what the cost looks like compared with sharing.
What does "from $X" mean?
It is the starting price per person for that trip. Your final quote depends on your dates, group size and any extras.
Can you work with a small budget?
We will try. Tell us what you can spend and what matters most, and we will suggest what is realistic, or say so if it isn't.
Are there festivals and cultural trips too?
Yes. Browse the culture and festival trips on the discovery page, or ask us about a festival you have in mind.
