Join Us For Extraordinary Educational Excursions

An excursion with Small World Journeys combines fun and adventure with key educational outcomes. With our outdoor education programs, students are able to take the what they’ve learnt in the classroom and apply it to real world.

Junior Years 7-10Adventures that incorporate the new national curriculum in Australia.

Senior Years 11 & 12Geography, science, aboriginal culture and sustainability studies

School Camp AlternativesEducational trips that are affordable alternatives to school camps

Geography, Biology, Earth & Environmental Science, Marine Science and Aboriginal Studies

With two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in our backyard, a vibrant indigenous community, and incredible endemic wildlife and biodiversity, we have the perfect places for students to further their studies in Geography, Biology, Earth and Environmental Science, Marine Science and Aboriginal Studies.

For example, with our biologists and waterproof data collection tiles, they can observe the effects of climate change on a vulnerable ecosystem like The Great Barrier Reef. Or students can learn from an Aboriginal elder how to hand craft an instrument that plays a large role in indigenouse ceremonies. Further still, students hear of the Daintree blockade, stay in this same rainforest and participate in a real-life environmental debate that stirred national controversy and is still relevant today.

Teamwork and Leadership

Essential for every student is to learn leadership skills, and perhaps more importantly, how to support a leader. With our outdoor education excursions, you have the opportunity to incorporate team-building exercises and initiative games into your programming.

All-Inclusive Trips
