Safari Programs in Australia

Seamester is the educational adventure of a lifetime! For more than 40 years, we have offered unparalleled educational voyages where students spend a semester at sea sailing between islands, countries, and even continents. We design our programs to provide engaging learning experiences with real outcomes in ways that are impossible to replicate in the traditional classroom. Living as part of a close-knit team on an ocean-going vessel, our students learn fundamental lessons beyond academics: teamwork, leadership, and personal responsibility. They receive academic credit from the University of South Florida, along with PADI scuba certifications and IYT sailing certifications. Our programs are designed to inspire students to realize that it’s the journey, not the destination, that matters the most.

Adventure, wildlife encounters, and meaningful environmental work! This program for participants ages 18-22 is an unforgettable adventure through Australia’s wild heart, where nature’s magic unfolds at every turn. Explore Fraser Island’s rugged beaches by 4WD, snorkel with turtles in Byron Bay, and learn to surf along pristine coastlines. Discover the ancient Blue Mountains while canyoning through deep chasms and experience the vibrant underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. Hold a koala on Magnetic Island, and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the Whitsundays' silica islands. Our journey is twofold: connect with Australia's stunning landscapes, appreciating their unspoiled beauty, and delve into local efforts combating climate change. Rangers will guide us through environmental conservation programs in coastal national parks, where we'll see firsthand how they’re protecting native species and combating rising sea levels by strengthening dunes.
