I still can't really put into words just how amazing this trip was! S and Heart are both such amazing tour guides and such lovely people, they did a truly amazing job in bringing everyone together and saying goodbye to them was very hard, the tour wouldn't have been as good without them. The trip itself was phenomenal, you get to see so much of such a beautiful country. There's such a huge range of activities, exploration, sights and so much more. The partying is also so much fun, Thailand is great for drinking as it's so cheap! I would definitely recommend booking one of these tours, I've made so many good friends and made some wonderful memories. I'm still sad that it finished!

Whether young or older this is a fabulous programme. If you want to mix with a lovely community, work alongside amazing people and experience the wonder of helping beautiful creatures then this is for you. Tough, rewarding and a forever memory. Just be prepared to get stuck in, work as a team and soak up every moment. I had the pleasure of working alongside fellow volunteers who I remain in contact with. We all share the desire to return to the island to meet again. Be prepared to meet people who will make you a better person :)

I genuinely can't imagine a better way to experience Thailand. This was my first time traveling abroad, so I was pretty nervous, especially with such a large (30+) group of people! But the tour guides were fantastic - S was great at getting introverts like myself out of their shells and helping everyone get along, Heart was fantastic at keeping everyone organised and making sure everyone was safe and at ease, and K was great at socialising with our group and being someone you could talk to whenever you needed it. Thailand is a beautiful, amazing place, and you can tell the guides wanted to share that and make sure we loved it just as much as they do. They've absolutely succeeded - this has been such an amazing experience for me, and I've made some friends for life.

I booked the 17-days Japan trip, and it was an unforgettable experience. As this was my first group trip, I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but Lachie was a great tour leader and the group was amazing. During the trip we not only saw and did lot, but we also had enough room for free time. The information/schedule for each day was clear and travel days went seamlessly. In each city we got a list of recommendations and tips for free time, when needed we could always ask for more. Lachie had great knowledge about the cities, history, and culture in Japan. He was always available during the tour for issues or questions, taking each situation or problem seriously. Moreover, he always tried to make sure everyone felt comfortable and included within the group. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to explore and see Japan!

Erin and Jess were so so fantastic and welcoming on the 28 day East Coast tour! Highlights were K’gari and Byron Bay. Would 100% recommend. Only thing to be aware of is that not all meals are included so just budget accordingly

My trip to Mexico was fantastic, a great itinerary that offered such a variety without feeling too busy or too much travel. A shoutout to our superb tour leader Vitor, so full of helpful knowledge and advice and just made our trip so fun. 5 stars all round 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
