Youth Tours

Ready to spread your wings and see what’s really out there in this big bad world of ours? Spoiler alert, it’s not as scary as you think. If you’re a young traveller ready to take on the world, or a parent organising your kid’s first trip, Flight Centre’s range of youth tour packages are the perfect place to start.  

Catering to young adults and 20-somethings, our youth itineraries are designed for teen travel programs and group travel. Offering a diverse range of experiences, from adventure camp excursions to cultural immersion trips and educational study tours, they are an ideal (and safe) way to dip your toes into travel.

Whether you’re keen to live the simple life with backpacking adventures through Asia and Europe, do some good with volunteering abroad programs or dive into youth sports travel, our team will take care of the details. We’ll sort you flights, accommodation, transfers, day trips and even insurance, leaving you more time to master the local lingo with language learning tours or enjoy the spoils of mother nature with eco-adventure experiences.  

Catering to trips of all sizes, we can sort something as simple as theme park group visits to more complicated itineraries like student exchange programs. At Flight Centre we’re pretty fond of travel, and can’t think of anything better than helping young people get out there and experience this big, beautiful world for themselves.

Destinations around the world

If you can name it, there’s probably a youth tour itinerary exploring it. Imagine camping your way through the stunning Canadian Rockies from Vancouver to Banff, visiting world-famous attractions across America’s 50 states, exploring historic cities like Paris, Rome and Amsterdam as you wind your way around Europe by train or embarking on backpacking adventures to destinations like Thailand or Vietnam in Asia. The world really is your oyster when it comes to choosing youth tour packages!

Why take a youth tour?

They say we learn through experience. So, what better way to learn about the wonders of this big, beautiful world than by jumping in and experiencing it first-hand through group travel! From once-in-a-lifetime cultural experiences and a built-in group of new mates to expert tour guides and the convenience of having all the logistics taken care of, there are plenty of reasons to embark on a youth tour.
