Explore Discount Codes & Deals

It offers over 350 tours in around 100 countries, from walking, cycling and wildlife trips to family adventures and polar voyages, and prices on explore.co.uk are shown without flights unless you add them. Explore publishes one discount code on its own site: EXTEND5, which takes 5% off both trips when you book two small group tours that depart within a month of each other. The other savings need no code. Selected 2026 departures carry Was/Now prices, polar voyages have their own discounts of up to 25%, returning travellers move up a loyalty club with up to 10% off, and a friend you recommend saves £100 per person on a first trip. Below are the current offers with their conditions and the date we checked them on explore.co.uk.

EXTEND5: 5% off both trips when you book back-to-back tours

Book two or more Explore small group tours that depart within a month of each other and get 5% off both. The terms allow no more than 28 days between the end of one trip and the start of the next, and all deposits must be paid within 24 hours of each other. The discount is off the tour price only, not flights, single supplements, extra hotel nights or transfers. It does not apply to Was/Now discounted departures, exclusive and private groups, pre-packaged combination trips or Polar and Galapagos cruises, and it cannot be combined with Recommend a Friend. Combined with loyalty discounts the maximum is 15%. If you cancel one trip, the discount is lost on the other.

Switch your loyalty: start at a higher discount level after 3+ trips elsewhere

If you have taken three or more trips with one small group adventure company on Explore's competitor list, tell Explore when you book and your booking goes in at the loyalty level you would have reached with Explore. With three trips counted, that can mean a loyalty discount on your first Explore booking, under the normal loyalty terms. You must be able to show the earlier bookings, and trips with different competitors cannot be added together. Call or email Explore to use it.

How to pay less for an Explore trip▼
  1. Plan two trips together. With EXTEND5 you get 5% off both tours if they depart no more than 28 days apart and you pay both deposits within 24 hours.
  2. Filter for discounted departures. The Discounted trips and Last minute pages show Was/Now prices on selected dates; these cannot be combined with EXTEND5.
  3. Book polar voyages early. Explore's polar offers run up to 25% off on selected Antarctica and Arctic seasons, with the exact discount confirmed when you book.
  4. Ask a past Explore traveller for their reference. Quoting Recommend a Friend with their number takes £100 per person off your first trip.
  5. Bring your history with you. If you have done three or more trips with another small group operator, Switch your loyalty can start you at a higher discount level.
  6. Remember the 15% cap. Most Explore offers combine with loyalty discounts, but only up to 15% off in total.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an Explore discount code?▼

Yes. On 31 October 2026 explore.co.uk published the promo code EXTEND5 on its Adventure, Extended page. It gives you 5% off both trips when you book two or more small group tours that depart within a month of each other; the terms say no more than 28 days between the end of one trip and the start of the next, and the deposits must be paid within 24 hours of each other. You can use it online or by phone. It does not work on Was/Now discounted departures, exclusive and private groups, pre-packaged combination trips or Polar and Galapagos cruises, and it cannot be combined with Recommend a Friend. It can be combined with Explore loyalty discounts up to a total of 15%. Every other saving on this page applies without a code.

Is there an Explore discount for NHS staff?▼

Not on Explore's own site. On 31 October 2026 the offers, loyalty and recommend-a-friend pages on explore.co.uk did not mention an NHS or Blue Light discount, so we do not list one. The savings that are open to everyone are the EXTEND5 code for back-to-back tours, the Was/Now prices on discounted and last minute departures, and the polar voyage offers. If Explore adds an NHS discount to its own site, we will add it here with the source and date.

How does the Explore Loyalty Club work?▼

You join automatically after your first trip, as a Bronze member. After two trips you become Silver and get 5% off your third and later bookings, after four trips Gold with 7% off, and after nine trips Platinum with 10% off your tenth and later bookings. The discount is taken off the base tour price, not flights or extras, and comes off your final invoice rather than your deposit. Loyalty discounts usually combine with other promotions up to 15% in total. To keep your level, you need to book a new tour within three years of returning from your last one. Family Adventures has its own scheme: 5% off your second and later family holidays.

Can I use my loyalty from another tour company?▼

Yes, through Explore's Switch your loyalty offer. If you have done three or more trips with one small group adventure company on Explore's list of competitors, call or email Explore when you book and your booking goes in at the loyalty level you would have reached with those trips. You must be able to show the earlier bookings, and trips with different competitors cannot be added together. Loyalty members can also pass their discount on to up to five adult children, stepchildren or siblings through the Pass it on scheme; they call Explore and quote PASS IT ON with your name.

How does Recommend a Friend work at Explore?▼

If you have travelled with Explore at least once, a friend who books their first Explore trip and quotes Recommend a Friend with your reference number saves £100 per person, and you receive a £100 credit for each booking (no maximum). Credits are valid for bookings made within one year. For families there is Recommend a Family: a new family booking a trip from the Family range gets £200 off, and you get a £200 credit. Explore's terms say Recommend a Family discounts are only available on bookings made directly with Explore, and the family books by phone or email.

Can I change or cancel an Explore booking?▼

Explore's Book with confidence page lists its Explore Flex options: you can amend your trip up to 10 days before departure, move to another holiday or take a credit voucher valid for 12 months, and cancel free of charge up to 70 days before departure. The page also says you get a full refund if Explore cannot operate your trip, and that once you have booked, the trip price is locked in with no later surcharges (Polar Voyages excepted). Check the Explore Flex details and the booking conditions when you book, so you know which options apply to your trip. The final balance is due 70 days before departure.
