Planning a trip of a lifetime is exciting, and we’re here to make that happen for you.
To get the most out of your experience and ensure a smooth journey, we always recommend booking your project as soon as you can.

Secure your place and get the best price
Our projects are incredibly popular, and some of our dates fill up fast.
By booking early, you can guarantee your place on a project that truly excites you. This means you won’t miss out on your first choice adventure, whether it's Shark Conservation for Teens in Fiji or a Medical Internship in Nepal.
As well as locking in your place on your chosen project, booking early means you can take advantage of the best price.
The price of programmes can change, and committing early ensures you lock in your adventure for less—giving you the best value and total peace of mind.

Flexible payments
We want your journey to be stress-free, and that includes managing your finances.
Booking in advance gives you the benefit of spreading your payments. Instead of a single, large payment, you can plan smaller, more manageable installments over a longer time frame.
This flexibility makes your dream trip more affordable and helps you budget effectively, leaving you with one less thing to worry about before you travel.

The best price for flights
Once your project is confirmed, booking your flights becomes much easier.
When you book your project early, you have ample time to research and secure the best flight deals to your destination(s).
Flights are typically more expensive the closer to the departure date, so booking your flight sooner could save you even more money. You’ll also have the best choice of routes and airlines to choose from.
This allows you to find the most convenient and cost-effective travel arrangements to start your journey.

More time to prepare and feel confident
Knowing your trip is booked well in advance gives you the gift of time—which means plenty of opportunity to prepare for your experience.

Booking early allows you to gradually prepare, digesting all the necessary information, which will leave you reassured about your safety and the support you’ll receive from us.
