Discovery Channel launches adventure travel tour brand

[Please note these articles below are for your information but are not necessarily written by ourselves.]

Discovery Channel is launching a new brand of tours and trips called Discovery Adventures. The brand will offer trips to destinations including Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, the Amazon, the Galapagos, India, Thailand, Cambodia, China, South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, Alaska and the U.S. Southwest. Itineraries will range from cruises and safaris to exploring the ancient civilizations of the Incas, the Egyptians and Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

Tour themes will tie in with places featured on Discovery Channel programs like "Man V. Wild," "Out of Egypt," "Discovery Atlas," "Dirty Jobs" and "Into the Unknown with Josh Bernstein." Participants will have opportunities to explore ruins and historic sites, as well as to do volunteer work in the destinations and experience local cultures.

Departures begin in December. The trips will run from three to 24 days and are being offered in partnership with the tour company G.A.P. Adventures.

Prices start at $2,000 per person, plus airfare, with the price covering lodging, breakfast and some other amenities. Groups will be small, just six to 15 people depending on the destination, with all trips suitable for families.
