Tailored Educational Adventures
Niche-Focused Programs with Big Impact
Focused trips designed to match your school’s goals through themed, hands-on experiences.
Some learning goals deserve something a little more focused. Our Specialty Trips are designed around specific themes like leadership, environmental science, scuba certification, or Duke of Edinburgh expeditions — all while keeping the spirit of adventure and educational depth at the core.
Whether you’re looking for a CAS-aligned marine project, a dive-focused science module, or a leadership retreat in the rainforest, we co-create trips that align with your school’s unique objectives and student needs.

Co-Designed with Educators
No two specialty trips are the same. We work closely with your academic team to develop something tailored, relevant, and logistically sound — including risk assessments, curricular links, and recce planning.
Purposeful Exploration
What Makes Our Specialty Programs Different?
Thematic & Purpose-Built
These are not off-the-shelf trips. Each program is built around a focused learning outcome — from conservation and sustainability to leadership, mindfulness, and exploration.
Curriculum-Enriched
All experiences are linked back to real learning — whether that’s tied to IB CAS, DofE, Global Citizenship, or your school's pastoral goals.
Impactful & Real-World
Students engage in hands-on projects that leave a lasting impact — coral restoration, permaculture farming, service initiatives with local NGOs, or even student-led research.
Diverse Locations
From coral reefs to mountain trails, we offer a variety of locations across Southeast Asia suited for these niche, outcome-driven experiences.

Workshops
Not every program needs to be a full residential adventure. Our workshops are focused, flexible, and built to deliver powerful learning in a short time. Whether you’re running a full CAS Week, planning enrichment days, or just want to offer something new to your students — our workshops bring energy, relevance, and depth to your co-curricular calendar.
We offer a growing catalogue of skill-based workshops that focus on sustainability, leadership, scuba, and the outdoors — all aligned with international school learning outcomes.

Whether it’s after school, on weekends, or during term breaks — our Scuba ECA is a meaningful, hands-on addition to your school’s co-curricular lineup.
