wildlife experience, Martial Arts and developing their fitness or just pure travel combining every-
thing, from worried about travelling alone group travel experiences, where we take care of every-
thing for you, to really exciting Adrenaline Travel Tours.

Learning the lingo on your travels can form the
basis of an incredible adventure. Looks great
on your CV, being great at a second language
it is a genuinely useful skill to have and what
could be better than hanging out and soaking
up the atmosphere in cool cities like Buenos
Aires, Argentina or Quito & Cuenca in Ecua-
dor?
Then there is probably the biggest adventure
of them all, the Venezuela Travelling Class-
room in the Amazon and Caribbean!
Or kill 2 birds with one stone, and study Span-
ish and become a gnarly surfer training with
members of Ecuador's national surf team in
Montanita! Now that is Xtreme Gap style.

Adding Extra Option Weeks Most people choose one option to complete on their second week, however if you wish to do more than one
you can do this in your third week (add €325 or £325 to the trip price). Please note sometimes adding an
extra option might mean you miss out on the fullmoon party although it usually falls on the 4th week of the
trip.
You always get 2 weeks in Koh Tao - so if you choose an extra option week, your trip will be 5 weeks in
total.
