Choosing your provider:
Whether you are a teacher or a parent, or perhaps even an educational tour operator, our responsibility is not to prepare life's path for our children. It is to prepare our children for life's path. Expanding global horizons, pushing boundaries and encouraging an adventurous life, are the perfect means to this end. Travel, adventure and expeditions which develop the whole person are our vehicle through which we go about achieving this goal.
We are not the largest expedition provider and that is why you may not have heard of us? But we have been around since 2006 and have a growing tribe of teachers and schools who trust us and just keep coming back! Check out our testimonials here! We feel it is important you know what we do. In fact if you are looking at a provider who doesn't do these things then perhaps they are not the right one! We hope you will join us as we re-imagine educational travel and school expeditions in an ethos of responsible tourism. We strive for the very best - educational travel experiences that are worthy of the 21st century.
