Educational Trips for Students and Adults

A Small World Journeys educational tour in Cairns or Sydney is about students engaging in academic endeavours, learning new skills and developing their sense of sustainable tourism. We have a number of set itineraries which have been designed to package together our most popular activities. We can tailor the educational tour for middle school students, high school students, college students or adults. We create tours for international groups as well as for those coming from within Australia.

“All our students enjoyed the activities and not only was there a variety of them but they learnt so many new things without even realising. It is a credit to you all there that you were able to put together such a camp that had to cater for such a variance in ages. A special thank you must be given to Rick [Small World Journeys guide] who, again, is so warm and genuine that the students immediately take to him. His knowledge and the way he imparts it, is amazing. You, and your whole company, are so professional, helpful and wonderful that I do not think we can look at any other operators and so will have to keep coming to Cairns!”

–Debbie Douglass, teacher, Newman High School, Newman WA (May ’18)

Our Tours Include:

Expert Guides Matched to Your Educational Goals & Budget.
Our guides aren’t bus drivers with dorky knee socks; they are marine biologists, naturalists and teachers.

 

Accommodation and Activities.
Lodging that is safe, central and family owned when possible.  Activities that you won’t find anywhere else.

 

Restaurant Meals and Snacks.
Allergic to zebra meat? No problem!  We provide EVERYONE with delicious and plentiful meals and snacks, even if you are a vegan, you eat halal, gluten-free or zebra-free. You will love the restaurants!

 

Airport Transfers and Ground Transport.
We are at the airport, smiling, waiting to greet you (and please tell us if we have some spinach in our teeth.) Our buses are safe and comfortable. And our guides drive you to your activities.

 

Risk Assessment.
We evaluate hazards so your trip is as safe as it can be while you still have fun.

Still haven’t found exactly what you are looking for? All our tours are fully customisable and can be catered to suit your time-frame, student interests and budget.  A geography excursion to the Great Barrier Reef?  A biology excursion to the Daintree Rainforest?  An Aboriginal culture excursion? Our educational trips in Queensland and New South Wales are hand-crafted for those who cannot find exactly what they want from the inflexible set itineraries of large tour operators.

If you are looking for a science trip, ecology trip, Aboriginal culture, or just a sample of the best of Australia – we can help.

Benefits to You and Your Students:

Custom Tours for YOUR Budget and Goals.
Unlike large tour companies, we customise your trip to your specifications. We won’t box you into specific accommodation or sites. This is your trip.

 

Price Guarantee. Once we offer a fixed price per student, and you’ve paid the $200 deposit, the price won’t change.  We guarantee this.  The price won’t change as long as the itinerary and the participant numbers remain the same.

 

Risk Mitigation.  We obsess over safety.  We ask ourselves, “How can we make  activities as safe as possible while still ensuring your students have fun?”  We evaluate hazards and if we determine an activity is too risky, we don’t do it.  Potential risks are identified in our risk assessment that we write & send to you.

Your Curriculum Integrated. We solicit your academic goals and then match you to one of our expert guides to whom your group is best suited. On our programs, concepts that were unclear in the classroom may come into focus with an outside instructor.

 

Satisfaction That Your Trip Helps The Environment & Community.
We commit 5% of our nett profits to local environmental and community groups AND we volunteer our time to help charities.   For more information, see 10 Ways We’re ”Sustainable”.
