Every student trip we run through the Asia-Pacific region can incorporate a range of themes. From history, humanities, geography, society and culture to STEM, global politics, the arts, International Baccalaureate (IB), CAS and more. 

For the broadest appeal, we advise you choose several study areas within one educational itinerary. Here are some examples of the topics and activities we can offer your students: 

In addition to our tailored tours, we also offer a large range of ready-made student tours to all our destinations. These can be run as they are or modified to meet your school’s needs.

Your students’ health and safety is paramount, which is why we undertake careful risk assessments for every tour. All our staff are trained in risk management and follow our comprehensive COVID-safe travel protocols. 

Before the tour, we’ll provide a detailed risk assessment for almost every activity in your itinerary. This comprehensive risk assessment is given to your school before the trip is agreed upon. 

During your tour, we’ll consult with you and other travelling staff members about any potential safety issues. We’ll always do this before we brief your students on the day’s upcoming itinerary. 

Occasionally, we may decide to skip or modify part of the tour program if we deem it to have become unsafe for some reason. For example, we’d modify your program if a severe weather event was approaching an area your students were travelling through. 

To gain your school executive team’s approval for your student trip, you’ll need to show them detailed booking conditions. Since the onset of COVID-19, when many tours were cancelled, this has become even more important. 

Our booking conditions are clear and transparent, especially in relation to cancellations, deferments and refunds. We don’t hide behind the fine print. In fact, we don’t have any fine print! 

Your school executive team will also want to see you’ve sourced comprehensive travel insurance with adequate coverage. The good news is, many travel insurers have now adjusted their policies, having realised they need to include adequate COVID-19 coverage to make them viable. 

As authorised agents, we sell group policies from several travel insurance companies. We’ve done the research for you and offer a selection of excellent insurance policies with clear conditions and payment schedules.  

If you choose one of our travel insurance policies, we’ll provide you with the policy details along with terms and conditions, coverage amounts and the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). 

We do ask that all student groups travel on the same travel insurance policy together, whether it be one of our group travel insurance policies or your school’s own insurance policy. This ensures all travellers have the same inclusions and coverage amounts. It also means we only deal with one insurance provider should a group incident occur. 

Our student trips use a wide range of accommodation – from twin- and triple-share hotels, to guest houses, communal homestays, 4 berth soft sleeper overnight trains, and more!  

We take great care to ensure your accommodation arrangements are just right. This may mean girls on one hotel floor, boys on another. Teachers are located on corresponding floors and are provided with a numbered room-share list for reference. Likewise, details of fire safety plans, emergency exits and overnight on-call staff members’ room numbers are shared with every student. 

Before we check in to any accommodation, we’ll have the room-share arrangements worked out in advance. These can be made in collaboration with teachers. Importantly, no student room will be on a floor without a travelling staff member. 

Each school has its own student-to-teacher ratio requirements. While we work flexibly to meet your needs, student-to-teacher ratios may vary depending on: your itinerary, the specific activities you’ve chosen, maximum bus sizes, cost-effectiveness, comfort levels, and the number of students you have on tour.  

Our student tours usually require a minimum group size of 16 students and 2 staff members. Our most common groups contain 20-25 students and 3 staff members, or 30-35 students and 4 staff members. We can easily accommodate groups of up to 100, which we split into 3 subgroups in 3 separate buses. 

Travelling overseas with your students for the first time can feel a little daunting. But you needn’t worry – we take care of more than you might think! Read our blog to find out what to expect in your role, as well as the role of your tour leader and local guides.
