ADVENTURE DETAILS
Youth Adventures
World Youth Adventures is the school group and youth adventure travel division of World Expeditions.
Each year World Youth Adventures operates a number of adventures that depart in school holiday periods that allow individual secondary students to ‘unite’ with other students from their country on an adventure of a lifetime. These itineraries engage students in a destination with some physical activity as well as a community project, and are escorted by world-class adventurers.
World Youth Adventures also offers Gap Year programs as well as alternative Schoolies Week ideas that provide all the celebration but without the hangover.

Adventure Touring
Adventure Touring
These adventure tours sometimes involve travel at high altitude (rarely exceeding 4000m, except on certain trips in Tibet, Peru and India) and may visit remote areas of the world where facilities are often basic. Many of these trips sometimes involve some camping or basic lodging. These adventure tours will often involve long journeys and rough roads. Sightseeing and optional day walks are often included and these days may involve up to 5 hours of physical activity. To enjoy these adventures we suggest you are reasonably fit, healthy, have a moderately active lifestyle and have a positive attitude.
Suggested preparation: Two or three times a week, we recommend you walk on undulating terrain for an hour or more, for at least 3 months prior to departure. -
Introductory
Introductory
These trips involve trekking or walking, cycling, rafting or sea kayaking for up to five or six hours a day at a slow but steady pace and should never be misinterpreted to mean they are easy trips. These trips do not spend time at altitudes above 4000m and are usually a week in duration. You will need a reasonable level of fitness and good health.
Suggested preparation: 30 minutes of aerobic type exercise, (either cycling or jogging) three times a week for three months leading up to your trek. For trekking, hill walking with a daypack in variable weather conditions is also recommended. For a cycling adventure, road cycling twice a week for three months prior to departure is recommended. -
