Hiking Programs Abroad

It was one of the best decisions I have ever made and would recommend to anyone! So much fun and could take part in an array or activities including sky diving and hiking. I’ve learnt so much and met so many amazing people!

I had an amazing time and I Genuinly had the best time ever ! All the staff were so kind and fun and they made the trip so much fun for all of us! Every day we did such cool activities and we were never bored - all the places we stayed were so nice and South Africa is such an amazing country, if I could do it again I would !

What an amazing adventure trip! Rowena, Divan and Brett were all fantastic and made the experience so special. Full of excitement, fun and unforgettable memories, it was truly an incredible adventure!

Warriors was really great and i had an amazing week where i met amazing people, pushed myself and had the best time. My favorite activities included volounteering at a crèche, meeting elephants, skydiving and hiking. Thank you!

Best week of my life instructors were incredible every moment was so special would do it all over again if I had the option. Never a dull moment, the whole team was so special and kind. The activities made the experience insane !

The staff were all so friendly and encouraging, I loved meeting lots of new people and i loved all the activities especially the sky diving. The food was all delicious especially the traditional south african ones

Broadreach is the best thing to do during your summer. I think that my biggest concern when going on my trip was that I might not have any friends on my boat and that was not the case at ALL. The diving is insane and every day is just nonstop fun. By being away from the world with just a couple of kids your age you will be best friends with everyone on that boat. You dive together, you sail together, you cook together, eat together, clean together, and you become a family. I had the best time of my life and there is really nothing like it.

This program is extremely well organized in terms of activities and trips, all accommodations are of high quality and safe. Activities are extremely safe, and promote self growth, as well as give a thrilling experience. The base camp is beautiful and nature filled. 10/10.👍

Doing MAI is so worth it I learnt even more this year than I did last year. Being in a leading position taught me patients and how to deal with many different people and personalities. Each adventure made me closer with each person whether they were facilitators or students

My experience at Warriors Academy has been one of the best experiences of my life. When I first arrived, I knew I was going to do a lot of activities and meet new people, but I never expected to leave with so many memories, friendships, and lessons that would change the way I look at life. Warriors has taught me so much about myself. I have learned to push myself out of my comfort zone, face my fears, and try things I never thought I would be able to do. From hiking mountains and rafting rivers to abseiling, swimming, and taking part in different challenges, every activity taught me something new. There were times when things were difficult, but those moments helped me realise that I am capable of more than I sometimes believe. One of the biggest things I will take away from Warriors is the people I have met. The friendships I have made mean more to me than words can explain. The people on the farm have become like a family to me, and I will always be grateful for the role they have played in my life. I have met people I look up to, people who have challenged me to become better, and people who have made me laugh even when things were tough. The memories we have made together are something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. The staff and instructors have also played a massive role in my journey. They have helped me learn new skills, overcome challenges, and understand the importance of responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. They have shown me that growth does not always happen when things are easy, but often when we are uncomfortable and have to push through challenges. Warriors has also helped me appreciate the small things in life. Spending time around the fire, having conversations with friends, enjoying the outdoors, and laughing together are moments I will miss more than I can explain. Sometimes, it is the simplest moments that become the best memories. Looking back, I can honestly say that I did not leave Warriors as the same person who arrived. I have grown in confidence, learned more about who I am, and gained a better understanding of the person I want to become. I still have a lot to learn, but Warriors has given me a strong foundation to keep growing. Leaving is not easy because I am leaving behind people and a place that have become such a big part of my life. However, I know that the purpose of this journey was never to stay comfortable forever, but to grow and take what I have learned into the world. I will forever be thankful for my time at Warriors Academy. The experiences, friendships, lessons, and memories will always have a special place in my heart. Warriors was more than just a gap year. It was a chapter of my life that helped shape the man I am becoming, and I will never forget it.

The MAI program at Warriors Academy was an incredible experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow both personally and professionally. I gained valuable qualifications, developed my leadership and guiding skills, and discovered just how much I’m capable of. The program challenged me in ways I never expected, while giving me the opportunity to learn, grow, and experience amazing adventures. I’m so grateful for the skills, friendships, and memories I’ve gained, and I would highly recommend MAI to anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to challenge themselves!

Completing the Fourth Quest at Warriors Academy was the ultimate capstone to my journey. As the final quest, it focused heavily on bringing everything we had learned together—stepping up into true leadership, taking ownership, and pushing past mental limits. From high-adrenaline outdoor adventures to deep personal reflection, every single day challenged me to move far beyond my comfort zone

Warriors changed my life in so many ways. it gives you opportunities that you never thought would come your way, and connections with people you never thought could be so special. I absolutely recommend this program for everyone.

When i first arrived i had no clue what to expect since i signed up very late. I began the first week thinking the quest would never and but every day i started to enjoy the things more and i made a lot of new friends. I had the tike of my life with amazing activities!! Today is my last day here and honestly, i wished it would last longer. I had an amazing time and i would definitely reccomend it!!

It is an amazing program the people and the staff are amazing they will always make sure that you are safe and if there is a problem they are always there to help What i learned while at Warriors i insane i learned about myself and how to work with others

Oh man, where do I begin? Broadreach has given me some of the most incredible experiences, memories, and skills in my life while being able to explore so many new places across the world! I got to try a whole lot of new food, give back to the communities across the world with service projects, see new life, gain new skills diving and sailing, and make lots of new friends and memories along the way! I remember one memory fondly where one of our instructors was able to make a lemon float mid-air using an air tank during some downtime, and its still one of the most bizarre but fun memories I have! I hope I can go back to sail with Broadreach again some day!

EXTREMELY FUN EXPERIENCE!! In summer of 2024, I did the 12 day Snorkeling + Sailing trip and it was an incredibly unforgettable experience. I especially enjoyed visiting the various islands included in my itinerary, cooking meals for the rest of the crew, and just having a fun, relaxing time! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun time for their teen! I’m going next summer too! Edit 1: In summer of 2025, I attended the 12 day Scuba Diving and Sailing trip and it was (once again) spectacular. I was skeptical about scuba diving at first, but the instructors on my boat made sure myself and all of my other crew mates feel properly prepared and accommodated for the activity. I really enjoyed everything from the previous trip and ESPECIALLY recommend doing the scuba route which is truly unforgettable (we literally had a shark swim with us in Saba!). Yes, of course I still highly recommend Broadreach. To Broadreach: sorry, you're stuck with me (I'm gonna keep coming back :) Edit 2: Summer 2026 I attended the 17 day sailing and scuba adventures as part of the first program from June 14 to July 1st. When I tell you, this was my favorite Broadreach trip (so far) I mean it!!!!!!! 17 days was a much more laid-back experience and now that I am in high school it was so nice to have more chill, laid back students and instructors. We scuba dive so much and the certifications we got were well worthwhile. We did community service on Statia and Saba and overall had the time of our lives!! Don’t worry, Broadreach, I will be coming back :).

Este viaje me tocó el alma. 🥹❤️ No fueron solo los lugares que conocí, sino todo lo que me hicieron sentir: la gente, los paisajes, los sabores y esos pequeños momentos que terminan convirtiéndose en recuerdos enormes. Regresé con el corazón llenito y con una certeza: Ecuador tiene rincones capaces de enamorarte una y otra vez. Sin duda, volvería.

Since the booking procesos, everything was smooth, my travel Advisor was the greatest, being in Galápagos in this catamaran changed my way of traveling form now on. I highly recomend this amazing trip.

Me encantó la gran variedad de actividades a lo largo del viaje, desde caminatas por los paisajes volcánicos de Isabela y Fernandina hasta snorkel con lobos marinos, tortugas, rayas y pingüinos. Las visitas a Bartolomé y Rábida también fueron momentos destacados, especialmente las vistas desde la Roca Pináculo. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado, y la combinación de las actividades con la comodidad del catamarán hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor. Sin duda, una excelente opción si quieres ver gran parte de las Galápagos en un solo viaje.
