About Us
True Adventure was founded 10 years ago based on one big idea, that travel has the power to change and develop young people like nothing else. That single big idea was the driving force that led us to set up True Adventure back in 2007.
Fast-forward to today and we’ve taken more than 5,000 students on over 450 incredible expeditions.
We’ve been privileged to work with the most amazing students, educators, leaders, schools, communities, and charities, and we’ve enjoyed some unforgettable experiences along the way.
Yet our passion and values have never changed: to provide young people with ambitious adventures that are truly life-changing. Fundamentally, we believe that every school and pupil are different and so every adventure should be too.
We believe in keeping it simple and sticking to our principals, so we always try to:
Listen
We think that the most important thing is to listen first, this is your big adventure not ours. So, we really get to know our schools, their people and objectives.
Be Individual
We believe that no school or student are the same, so no adventure should be either. All of our adventures are different and tailored to YOUR objectives.
Be Diligent
We work on the basis that we ALWAYS focus on safety, detail, and organisation first so that our teachers and students can concentrate on the life changing, challenging, fun parts of an expedition.
Be Responsible
We try to leave only a positive mark on the countries and communities we visit, and we try to always be transparent in our commitment to Responsible Travel.
Be Trustworthy
We will do everything we can to deliver a really good service at a fair price.
