Heritage Tours, formerly known as Study Tours, offer members a chance to travel to well researched destinations within the archipelago with a group of like-minded people who have a particular interest in the area being visited. These tours typically focus on cultural, historical and geographic themes. Tours vary in duration from 3 days to 2 weeks.

Travel Club operates under the auspices of Heritage Tours. Club participation is open to any IHS member interested in travel within the archipelago. Club members actively share ideas to research, plan and promote tours. Travel Club members also receive training in Heritage Tours policies and procedures.

Prior to a tour, a preliminary meeting is conducted at which time each tour member learns about the tour itinerary and chooses a subject pertaining to the destination. Each tour member then researches their chosen topic and writes a brief report before departure. A tour booklet is created which includes these research reports. This booklet is used during the tour and a copy is submitted to the IHS library.
