Black Friday is coming to Untravelled Paths, and it is the perfect moment to lock in your 2027 adventure. The Black Friday sale opens on 23 November and closes on 30 November 2026. During that week, you can save up to 25% off all of our small-group experiences.

However, the discounted places are limited. Once they are gone, the full price returns. So the best plan is to choose your trip now and be ready to book on the day. This preview walks you through every collection, so you can pick your favourite before the sale starts.

Mini Adventures: Short Escapes for Black Friday

If you have a few days spare, a mini adventure is a great place to start. These short trips pack in real culture and wild scenery, so you get a lot for your time away. For example, The Mini Bosnia Experience explores rivers, old bridges and mountain villages. Similarly, The Mini Slovenia Experience brings lakes and alpine views into one compact break. The Mini Montenegro Experience adds the Bay of Kotor and rugged peaks. Meanwhile, The Mini Sahara Experience delivers a taste of desert life in just a few days, and The Mini Albanian Alps Experience heads into one of Europe’s wildest valleys. Because these trips are short, they are ideal for first-time small-group travellers.

Once in a Lifetime Trips

Some trips only come around once, and these are the ones people talk about for years. For instance, The Botswana Desert to Delta Experience travels from dry landscapes to a wildlife-rich delta. Also, The Hot Air Ballooning Experience lifts you above fairytale scenery at sunrise. Then there is The Lapland Experience, set in snowy Arctic landscapes. In addition, The Sahara Desert Experience means a night under endless stars, while The Ice Hotel Experience lets you sleep in a hotel carved from ice. Because these places are in high demand, they tend to sell out first. As a result, booking early on Black Friday matters most here.

Great Outdoors: Black Friday Hiking Picks

Love a good trail? The Great Outdoors collection is made for you. First, The Transylvania Experience combines Carpathian scenery with historic villages. Next, The Toubkal Ascent Experience takes you up North Africa’s highest peak. Likewise, The Montenegro Experience links wild mountains with the Adriatic coast, and The Mountains to Sea Experience moves from high ground down to the coast. Our guides set a steady pace, so you can enjoy the views without rushing. Therefore, check each trip page for the fitness level needed, then choose the one that suits you.

Into the Wild

For wildlife lovers, nothing beats a trip built around animals in their natural habitat. The Brown Bear Experience gives you the chance to watch bears in the forest. Similarly, The Grey Wolf Experience heads out to track wolves with expert guides. The Iberian Lynx Experience focuses on one of the world’s rarest cats, and The Danube Delta Experience explores a huge wetland full of birdlife. However, wildlife is never guaranteed, so our guides rely on patience and good fieldcraft. In addition, small groups mean less noise and better sightings.

Local Flavour: Black Friday Food Trips

Food is the best way to get to know a place. These trips put local tables, markets and kitchens at the centre. First, The Taste of Slovenia Experience samples regional dishes and wines. Then The Dolce Vita Puglia Experience brings sunshine, olive groves and long lunches. Meanwhile, The Bologna Experience is a pasta lover’s dream in Italy’s food capital. The Georgia Experience adds feasts and ancient wine traditions, and The Sicily Experience serves up street food and island flavours. Because these are small groups, you eat like a local rather than a tourist.

Epic Journeys

If you want to go further, our epic journeys cover whole countries and regions. For example, The Delta to Cape Experience links two very different corners of southern Africa. The Colombia Experience brings coffee country, colourful towns and lush mountains. Also, The South Africa Experience, The Ethiopia Experience and The Morocco Experience each reveal a different side of the continent. These trips take longer, so they need more planning. Therefore, the discount can make a real difference to your budget.
