Games

Time for an adventure?

Are you a bit bored with your nine-to-five routine? Have a look at our
exciting range of holidays and decide what type of adventure you’d like.

Activity holidays
Our activity holidays are for everyone, people who love danger or who
just like sports. We have a huge variety of water, snow or desert holidays.
We’ll take you SCUBA diving in the Red Sea or kayaking and white water
rafting in Canada. If you prefer snow, you can try skiing or snowboarding
View More
in the Alps or even igloo-building. For those who like warmer weather, we
also have sandboarding (the desert version of skateboarding) or camel
safaris.

Polar expeditions
Take a cruise to Antarctica or the northern Arctic; explore a land of white
natural beauty and wonderful wildlife. Our experts will explain everything
about the two poles as you watch the penguins in Antarctica or whales
and polar bears in the Arctic. There's no greater adventure than travelling
to the ends of the earth. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Cultural journeys
Our cultural journeys will help you discover ancient civilisations: India,
Thailand, Egypt and many more. Visit temples, palaces and ancient
ruins – just remember to bring your camera! Get to know local ways of
life by exploring markets, trying exotic foods and meeting local people.

Trekking tours
We have trekking holidays to famous places such as Machu Picchu or the
Everest Base Camp Trek, as well as some nearer to home in the
Highlands of Scotland. You don’t need to be very sporty, just fairly fit.
You’ll have a great time enjoying nature with a group of new friends.
Some of the holidays include camping, but we’ll transport the tents for
you!

Wildlife holidays
We organise small-group tours to get closer to nature in Africa, Asia or
South America. Go on safari in Africa and watch lions and giraffes. Meet
the famous turtles of the Galapagos Islands. Look for tigers in India, or
take an elephant safari in Sri Lanka. We use local guides and stay in a
range of accommodation, from tents to tree houses.

My best holidays were in Greece in the summer. My older sister
and my parents and I were vacationing on the island of Crete. It
1x was very beautiful there! We visited all kinds of excursions, were
1x on the island of Santorini. Also on the trip we met a family from
Russia, they were cool, we immediately found a common
language with them. The whole trip was incomparable!

My best vacations are in Cancun, 4 years ago my family got on
a plane and we were about 2 hours on the plane and after that
0x we arrived at the hotel and the place was huge but when I
3x explored the place I found that it was a 24-hour buffet and That
made me like it a lot more and that's why I chose this place as
my best vacation.

My best holiday was in Spain with my family. First, we visited
Barcelona where we saw Antoni Gaudi buildings. I was moved
6x by Sagrada Familia! We also walked to the market and tried
15x delicious local food. We stayed in Barcelona for two days and
explored the city and vicinity. After that, we flew to the south,
Granada. I loved Granada the most. I enjoyed walking on those
small streets . I imagines gypsies in old days. I listened to their
songs and watched them dance flamenco. After Granada, we
drove to Rondo, and then to Madrid. What a great holiday!

My best trip was in July, 2018.We went to the Carpathians with
our teacher and my friends. We rented small houses from locals
2x to get closer to their way of their life. They told us about their
1x traditions, customs, local food and clothes. Alltogether we
climded the Hoverla, went water rafting on the river
Cheremosh. It was very difficult for us, but we coped with it. We
enjoyed every day of our trip. It was amazing.

I have the best holiday is to learn some new math skills in a
campaign held by our senior classmates last year. I
1x remembered that I could barely figure out what the speakers
1x were talking about, but it made me quite impressive. It let me
know that there were numerous challenges in my senior high
school. Now, I have already become grade 2. I need to bear
more responsibilities in the next semester. I know that I'm ready
to meet those difficulties.

My best trip was in May, 2019. I went to Turkey to the
Mediterrancan sea cost. I stayed in a large hotel. There were 2
2x swimming pools, a library, a small aquapark, a hall, a beach and
1x a lot of other things. Every day I went to the sea and a
swimming pool in the morning, after I walked around the
territory, played tennis or volleyball. In the evening I liked to sit
at the shore.

The best holiday I've been on is when I went to norway. There
was a bridge there where you could cross from Sweden to
5x norway and it was super cool. We stayed there and ate
4x pancakes then we went home.

The best holiday that I've ever experienced was in July, 2019.
Me and my friends joined a free motivation camp held by my
1x tuition centre. It involved many teenagers from all over the
1x states across Malaysia. We went to visit a forest that is located
near the University Malaya, which is the place set up for the
camp. As soon as we arrived there, everyone were divided in
group to set up the tent together at the camp site. After that, all
of us did so many fun activities such as mountain climbing,
exploring the forest, take dip in a mud pool and throwing flour
at each other. But the most memorable thing for me is the test
of courage. One morning, at 12.00 a.m sharp, we were
instructed to explore the forest in a group without any source
of light and can only relied on our own instict. It was a long walk
and many people were starting to get scared, but fortunately,
the trip ends at 3 a.m. It was such a scary experience because
something really did happened in the middle of the test, but
nonetheless, i really enjoyed it. I hope there would be a new
motivation camp where i would be able to join in the near
future.

The most stunning holiday, was 3 years ago when my family
went trekking in Caqueta, Colombia. It's very exciting becuase
0x you can see the natural. The thing that caught my atention is
0x natural pool and the waterfall that was amazing. Colombia is
increible the people, the food, the culture and the natural it's
unique. I want to more people known from my unbelievable
country.

My best holiday was in Istanbul. I was with my brother Nathan,
my step mom, and my dad. I visited Istanbul when I was twelve
0x and had a lot of fun visiting. We came there because my step
0x mom is Turkish and she wanted to do a birthday party for my
brother’s birthday. My brother was turning one year old.

Actually I had much holiday that I think was the best, but one of
them is when I went to an English camp in Los Angeles. We
3x stayed in California State University's campus. We had a
2x canteen in the campus and I liked pizza the most there :D. Of
course we had english classes there. Moreover, we had
excursions every day. We also went to amusement parks,
beaches and shopping malls. Besides, we had various activities
in our campus. I met new friends in the camp and I still get in
touch with some of them. To cut it short, it was the most
unusual and entertaining holiday and I will always remember it.

I find all these trips very interesting, it really shows that those
who had the idea even like them and that is transmitted, only
0x that I would add more information about the food, I feel that it is
0x something that people take a lot of importance and could serve
a lot, but in general, everything else is fine.

In fact, my family and I travel a lot. The best trip I've ever had
was last summer. We were on a cruise. It was an unforgettable
3x time! We visited Germany, Scotland, Iceland and even
2x Greenland :D During our jorney we enjoyed natural beauty and
wonderful wildlife of these countries. The waterfalls and geysers
of Iceland were magnificent. To tell the truth, we didn't expect
the weather to be so warm in Greenland in August. You know, it
was about +10'C, but I thought it could be much colder. More
than that, I had a gorgeous opportunity to train my skills in
languages by chatting with locals and other people who also
were on the cruise, by the way, now and then we get in touch
with some of them.
