Nature Tours Abroad

Warriors Academy has been one of the greatest adventures of my life. Through exciting outdoor challenges and unforgettable experiences, I’ve developed valuable skills in leadership, teamwork, resilience, and adventure activities. Every day has pushed me to grow beyond my comfort zone while doing what I love most. The incredible people, the breathtaking experiences, and the constant opportunities to learn have made my time at Warriors Academy the time of my life.

I had so much fun at Putney on my Greece and Italy trip. My leaders were well-educated and made the experience so much fun. The students that were with me were kind and inclusive and I came home with so many new friends. Overall, I loved my experience with Putney and am planning to come back next year.

Working at Sahara Tours was a rewarding experience that allowed me to develop strong customer service, communication, and teamwork skills. I assisted in providing travelers with a welcoming and enjoyable experience while ensuring professionalism and attention to detail. The role helped me improve my problem-solving abilities, adapt to different situations, and work effectively in a fast-paced tourism environment. I enjoyed being part of a team dedicated to creating memorable travel experiences for guests.

Our 4th safari in Africa turned out to be the most memorable safari in Kenya as family ever. Thank you, Astute team for a well-executed holiday, from planning, booking to the actual 7 days safari to Samburu, Aberdare, Naivasha and Maasai Mara before flying to Diani beach (the best beach, friendly people everywhere). Our guide Simon is the best of all very calm but jovial all the way.

My son participated in a program with Rustic Pathways in Costa Rica last year, and it was an incredibly positive experience for both him and our family. The counselors updates, looking at the photos and videos gave me a great sense of comfort and connection. He was able to keep his phone, so we stayed in touch throughout the trip. Hearing how happy and even on days focused on community service validated that I chose the right camp. The program was a wonderful balance between meaningful work and fun. He is super excited to go on a trip this year to Belize My son returned home more independent, and inspired to continue to connect with many cultures and see the world.

Thanks so much for your comment, Susie! We're thrilled your son had such a great experience! We love hearing about their transformation post-trip. We hope he joins us for another awesome summer soon :)

We were looking to book a 1 week safari in Kenya and after some research, came across Astute Africa Safaris. From the start, communication was quick, clear and very smooth with various options to choose from. They helped us organize the entire trip, including whole safari as a package. We spent 2 nights at Masai Mara with great game drives daily where we had incredible experience both with our guide and interacting with Masai people at the Masai village. We then headed to Lake Nakuru and then Lake Naivasha where we did boat ride and crescent Island walking tour. We ended we 3 days at amboseli, wow, the view of mt. Kilimanjaro every morning was amaizing. Overall our guide made it all possible and shared a lot of interesting information about animals we sighted and about the country. Thank you Team Astute Africa safaris from reservation who made communication very easy and smooth to Moses our friendly guide.. We highly recommend them and maybe next time we shall add an extra night at maasai mara and amboseli

Warriors is one of the best experiences of my life. I have done things I thought I would never do. If you are an adventurous person and love taking on a challenge, I recommend taking a quest at Warriors Academy. The location is incredibly beautiful, and every place you visit is even more beautiful than the last. The guides and everyone at Warriors are so kind and help you with everything needed. The things you learn and do here are things you can't just do anywhere; that is what makes it so incredibly special.

Summer Quest at Warriors Academy was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had. The environment was welcoming from day one, and the instructors really took time to help everyone improve while still keeping things fun. I built confidence, made great friends, and learned a lot both on and off the court. The energy, structure, and support made it unforgettable. Definitely a 5-star experience I’d recommend to anyone looking to grow and enjoy the game.

My experience at Warriors has been both challenging and rewarding. From the very beginning, I was welcomed into an environment that encouraged growth, discipline, and teamwork. The atmosphere was energetic, and every day brought a new opportunity to learn something valuable. Whether it was improving my skills, building confidence, or working with others, I constantly felt motivated to push myself further. One of the most memorable aspects of my time at Warriors was the strong sense of community. Everyone supported each other, and there was always a feeling that we were working toward a common goal. This made even the toughest moments easier to handle, as I knew I was not alone in my journey. There were also moments of difficulty, where I had to overcome challenges and step outside of my comfort zone. However, these experiences helped me grow stronger and more resilient. I learned the importance of perseverance and maintaining a positive mindset.

I have nothing but good reviews for this program. The instructors are amazing and they do a great job of pushing you out of your comfort zone while still making you feel supported. They genuinely care about your growth, not just physically but mentally as well. The environment can be challenging at times, but that’s what makes it so impactful. I’ve learned a lot about discipline, resilience, and myself overall. It’s also such a strong community, and the people really make the experience. I have grown so much this quest and I can’t wait for another.

The self-mastery session really challenged me and helped me grow. Then we did a cycle safari, followed by a hike that led straight into an exciting rafting experience. An unforgettable gap year adventure.

Warriors academy gave me so much, it taught me so much about who i am as a person and more importantly it gave me so many experiences i would never imagine having and so many friends which are now more like family to me. The facilitators were amazing, they supported you when you needed it but also pushed you to be the best version of yourself. the warriors academy base camp is in the most beautiful area. getting to experience the beautiful Magoebaskloof forest was something i never thought i needed. Warriors is no longer just a place, it is now a home.

Warriors Academy is an incredibly well structured program, filled with physical activity, travel, adventure, soft skills…all based on the foundation of self-mastery. I highly recommend attending Warriors Academy, for self-improvement, growth, and excitement!

This trip was amazing! Genuinely life changing for me, and many of my friends agree. I learned so much about the culture of the area, the salmon habitats we worked near, and how I can live a more sustainable and educated life style. Thank you GIVE!!!

I truly went inside Iceland, I did not just do the superficial or touristy stuff, I felt that I truly went inside and deep into Iceland. I went from the most common city, to some truly unique places. I truly lived Iceland.

Honestly the best 2 weeks of my life. I had a blast and have made many memories on this trip I will never forget. First of all, the guides were awesome and amazing people. Very friendly, easy to to talk to, and always checking up on you and making sure you are having fun. The group I was with were also amazing and always had excellent energy throughout the whole trip. Everyone was willing to connect, share stories, play games, and let their authenticity show. I really loved the way the trip was organized and scheduled. We knew what time to wake up, go to sleep, when we were going to do our activities, etc. It was very educational and I learned a lot about the people, the culture, the environment, and the problems the country faces. I loved the diversity in activities and how we actually connected and exchanged cultural ideas with locals in rural communities that you don’t usually get to see. Overall, a 10/10. Would totally go on another trip in the future!

Travelling with GIVE is always a special experience for me, and this new era of VIP experiences is so exciting!! Cuba was one of a kind, the guides (John, Hannah, Silvia and Ihosvany) made it so special for us. Our itinerary was full of a perfect mix of fun adventures, sight seeing, learning about the history in Cuba, and connecting with the locals people. Amazing memories were made with incredible people, in a beautiful and unique country! I can’t wait to make more memories with GIVE on the next VIP trip!

The program has been absolutely amazing! I have loved everything about Australia, formed a lot of new friends/relationships, and made so many great memories so far. I would 100% recommend it to others, I think everyone should get to experience this beautiful place. My favorite part was the camping trip on Frasier Island, but I have also loved sky diving, snorkeling, and all of the nights out have been a blast. Overall, this has been the best experience I’ve ever had and I’m so glad I got out of my shell and booked it.

The Warriors Gap Academy Gap Year Program has been absolutely phenomenal! From mental grit, and learning how to overcome physical limits and limiting beliefs, to exciting adventures through nature, and learning how to get uncomfortable intentionally for the sake of growth, to bungee jumping, to meeting incredible people from all over the world, this program has truly been an astonishing variety of experiences to grow personally. The facilitators and entire Warriors community are full of support, guidance, connection, and are representations of true passion for their work. I am beyond grateful for the loving community that has turned into a form of family.

I had an excellent experience with Travel Hype Adventures thanks to Arthur. He is professional, attentive, and truly knows what he’s doing. He organizes everything with great care, offers helpful advice, and always makes sure everything goes smoothly. I highly recommend Arthur and Travel Hype Adventures to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, and high-quality service. Truly an outstanding experience!
