History
The company was founded in 1988 by two Australians, Darrell Wade and Geoff 'Manch' Manchester, who continue to own the company. It was a division of PEAK Adventure Travel Group, a joint venture of Intrepid Group and TUI Group which owned several adventure tour operator companies, but the principals separated in 2015. Darrell Wade and Geoff Manchester took back ownership of the Intrepid brand along with a group of tour operator brands under the banner of the Intrepid Group, including Adventure Tours Australia, Geckos Adventures, Intrepid Travel, Peregrine Adventures, The Family Adventure Company and Urban Adventures. The group also includes the not-for-profit The Intrepid Foundation, and 17 individual destination management companies operating under the PEAK DMC brand.
