National Geographic Journeys are priced considerably lower than National Geographic's other tour products, such as National Geographic Expeditions and National Geographic Adventures. The trips, limited to 16 people, last between 7 and 21 days and each Journey will be led by a local guide from G Adventures. All of the tours offer hands-on exploration and encounters with locals as well as provide travellers with free time and choices, but with the structure and security of group travel. A sample itinerary, "Explore Costa Rica" is a 14-day trip that offers access to the Monteverde Institute, a research centre supported by National Geographic. Travellers will participate in the Centre's reforestation efforts. There will also be a visit to San Miguel de Sarapiqui on a tour of Mi Cafecito, a G Adventures-supported coffee co-op, and a meeting with researchers at the Sea Turtle Conservancy, co-founded by a National Geographic grantee, to learn about the four species of sea turtles found in Tortuguero. Another tour, the 7-day "Explore Kruger National Park" includes a game drive with a researcher from the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Carnivore Conservation Program, who will share insights into the behavior of cheetahs and other carnivores and the effort to protect them, part of National Geographic Society's Big Cats Initiative.
