REI Co-op, which in January ended its Experiences program that offered consumers guided tours to outdoor places, announced a new partnership with Intrepid Travel to offer small-group active travel globally beginning January 2026.
“These trips are designed to bring together REI members’ deep appreciation for familiar outdoor spaces and the thrill of discovering the unknown, while reflecting the co-op’s core values of time outside, inclusion, and sustainability,” said Susan Viscon, REI chief new ventures and impact officer.
REI will launch two locally guided adventure collections in January — REI Exclusive and REI Recommended.
The REI Exclusive collection will include over 25 trips guided by local experts, ranging from 3 to 14 days, covering the U.S., Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Italy, Japan, Morocco, Nepal, Peru, Portugal, and Spain, as well as Tanzania.
The REI Recommended collection will include over 50 trips ranging from 4 to 15 days across 32 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America.
