G Adventures is introducing 30 new itineraries for its 18-to-Thirtysomethings collection, which offers cost-conscious adventures for young travelers.

The new offerings include a 39-day trip to Australia and New Zealand filled with outdoor experiences like surfing, white water rafting and a glacial hike. A kangaroo trek in Arrawarra will enable travelers to observe the animals in their natural habitat in the coastal bush. 

A Korea-Japan 15-day journey from Seoul to Kyoto includes a K Pop dance class. The group will travel to the Korean island of Jeju to watch the haenyeo -- women divers, some in their 80s  -- as they hold their breath for minutes at a time to collect fresh seafood. Japan will feature Tokyo, Takayama and Kyoto, where travelers will visit temples and take in the country's history. 

A Bosnia-Herzegovina seven-day trip will wow travelers with outdoor adventures, including swimming in the Kravica Waterfall and a sunset safari to see wild horses. The experiences also include a dip in the Buna River, whitewater rafting on the Neretva River and hiking Rakitnica Canyon. 

A seven-day Albania-Corfu trip gives guests a look at Albanian mountain life. Along the way, they will try their hand at cooking traditional cuisine, visit the foothills of the Albanian Alps and visit a Byzantine monastery. While in Himare, travelers will hike to a shepherd outpost. 

"For this age group, traveling the world is about so much more than topping up a tan or relaxing on a beach, although those elements can be a bonus," G Adventures said in its announcement. "It's about exploration, discovery and forging friendships in unusual places – it's something that can be fresh and fun while also being meaningful and insightful."
