About Program
This program is an unforgettable adventure through Australia’s wild heart, where nature’s magic unfolds at every turn. We’ll explore Fraser Island’s rugged beaches by 4WD, snorkel with turtles in Byron Bay, and learn to surf along pristine coastlines. Discover the ancient Blue Mountains as we go canyoning through deep chasms, and experience the vibrant underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. Hold a koala on Magnetic Island, and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the Whitsundays' silica islands.
Our journey is two-fold: to connect with the stunning landscapes of Australia, appreciating their unspoiled beauty, and to delve into local efforts combating climate change. National Park Rangers will guide us through environmental conservation programs in coastal National Parks, where we'll see firsthand how they’re protecting native species and combating rising sea levels by strengthening sand dunes.

Impact 🌎
Sustainability
We recently embarked on a Net Positive Benefit project where we are qualifying what impacts our groups have on the local communities, taking into consideration carbon emissions +/- social impacts +/- conservation impacts +/- community impacts. On our programs, students engage with non-profit organisations such as Litter Intelligence, Scholars of Sustenance, Ulu Mau puanui, Llama Pack project where they directly work for a better future - planting trees, eradicating invasive weed species, helping local communities and food banks.
