Adventures that inspire change
We curate educational programmes to create change for people and planet
Our mission
To protect vulnerable habitats and conserve endangered species, whilst enabling travellers to understand their social and environmental impact through adventure and tackle mental health.
It’s said that change can be made when just 3.5% of a community takes action. Therefore, it is our mission to work with 230 schools and colleges in the UK (3.5%) by 2030 to build a more sustainable future, together.
Our educational adventures are thoughtfully designed by our founders, who have tested every trip themselves, to reconnect you as students with the natural world and help you to deepen your understanding of your own social and environmental impact.
Through life-changing and informative expeditions, you will help us to protect endangered habitats, threatened species and diminishing cultures. These are real-world experiences that encourage a deeper level of understanding and curiosity around the importance of conservation.
“You can’t protect a place unless you understand it. You can’t love it until you know it.”
Kristine Tompkins, Conservationist and former CEO of Patagonia Inc.
From the plains of South Africa to the jungles of Nicaragua, our educational adventures span the globe and include some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet.
And from learning about the holistic approach to elephant conservation in Sri Lanka to assisting with marine protection in Thailand or Greece, our diverse selection of educational expeditions means there’s plenty of choice for different age groups and different educational topics.
If you need help choosing, give us a shout. We'd love to chat through the options with you, or even jump on a video call.
You’re in good hands
The safety and security of students and teachers on our trips is our number one priority. We go above and beyond when it comes to protecting your finances and your welfare. All of your finances are protected through Travel Vault and each programme adheres to British Standards (BS8848). If you have any questions about our safety and security measures, please do get in touch.
“This experience will be with me for the rest of my life. It’s always been my dream to go to South Africa and it was so much more than I ever dreamed. Truly incredible, I am very grateful to have been given the opportunity to go by Flooglebinder and I will be forever grateful.”
— Claudia, Student
We’re a B Corp
We wholeheartedly believe that business should be a force for good. To show our commitment to creating positive change through travel we joined the B Corp community back in 2016: we were the first travel B Corp in the UK and one of the first globally!
But we didn't do it to say 'we were first'. We did it because we know there is strength in community. The B Corp leaders share our ethos and the only way to drive change is together. The community shares our values and helps drive the emotion in everything we do: conscious, passionate and kind.

Each adventure we embark on teaches us something new; we’re forever learning. These are the findings and stories we want to share with you. They’re usually scribbled into a notebook whilst watching the sun go down in a remote part of the world before they’re written up for you to enjoy. We hope they’ll inspire and encourage you to join us on our next expedition.
Aside from having an epic time exploring the beautiful St. David’s coastline in a boat, on land or jumping off rocks, the Wales programme has environmental conservation and sustainability at its heart.
It was incredible to feel that sense of adventure and do something scary but rewarding. I was reminded of my own strength and ability to grow from challenges, and ultimately, the experience brought me back to my passion for sustainable development.

It takes a lot of willpower, determination, failure, tenacity and courage to create change but remember, it’s a personal journey and the challenges and obstacles are different for each and everyone one of us.
There was a lot of uncertainty as rarely knew if we were on the right train or heading the right way but asked about and got ‘some’ kind of clarity with a head shake that I still struggle to figure out if it's yes or no.
When I was young, an adventure was getting out on my bike and just exploring, there wasn’t actually much of an objective, an end goal or a plan - it was just exploring.
O and did I mention that they allow us to breathe too - so when you start losing them...we lose. Let's treat nature like it's our most treasured storybook or better yet like our newborn child.
There are not many places where you go from city to jungle so quickly and this means you’ve got an incredible range of activities, from white water rafting to caving, treks and diving, as well as historical city tours, bustling food markets and cityscapes.
You’ll learn about climate change, threats to reef health and advanced artificial reef techniques amongst plenty other fascinating topics and there’s always a few interesting documentaries or films being shown.
We first went to Sri Lanka back in 2014 and man what an awesome place - from mangroves to beaches, mountainside tea plantations and thick lowland tropical rainforests, it was certainly one of, if not the, most diverse place we’d ever been to.
After an awesome breakfast (pancakes and fruit) we made our way (2hrs) to the Amazon river. The boat journey to the research centre is pretty quick and 45minutes of absolute bliss, just river, wildlife and deep deep jungle.
This place lives up to the hype, drenched in culture, a lot of it painful but there's so much hope, beauty and human endurance, it's truly inspiring.
