Unable to take a full gap year but still looking for a unique and exciting adventure travel experience? Then look no further than our 7-Week Quests.
Each of our 7-week Quests has its own set of exhilarating adventure experiences, community service activities and personal development workshops.
When joining one of our 7-week Quests, you can expect to be part of a group of young adults looking to jump out of their comfort zones, meet new people and have new experiences.
We focus on helping students live in the now and find “the adventure of being alive”. It is all about trying something new, being engaged in the moment and pushing past the fear.
These Quests allow you to travel, learn more about yourself, find direction and make lifelong friends.
Students can take part in any number of Quests depending on their schedules or studies. This provides more flexibility and allows those who cannot take a full gap year to still have an experience over a shorter period of time.

“Warriors has been an adventure of a lifetime! Being able to challenge myself in so many ways as well as traveling has made this experience so worth it. The soft skills that we learned was so beneficial towards my growth as a person and I learnt so much on these courses. Coming back for the second quest! Warriors allowed me the opportunity to meet so many new people as well as have experiences that were totally out of my comfort zone. The many characteristics and different nationalities were interesting to indulge in. The co-stand physical activity also kept me in shape” – Bryan, 19, from South Africa

It was supper fun and I absolutely loved making new friends and getting to know new people and being able to make similar connections with people from different backgrounds the facilitators are absolutely amazing and very supportive definitely a opportunity of a lifetime. I loved trying the traditional food of the Limpopo area it was exotic but I really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this program for anyone” – Samuel, 19, from the United Kingdom
“It’s amazing how close you can become to a group of strangers in just 7 weeks while all enduring the same difficult while exciting challenges. The support and enthusiasm that the facilitators and MAIs always gave the warriors was something I will never forget. Whenever I was feeling down or just not feeling up to doing something, they were always there to lift my spirits and push me to limits I never knew I could reach. I’ve never had so much fun while simultaneously being so proud of myself as I have on Warriors. You are almost guaranteed to come back for a second quest” – Lilly, 21 from South Africa

Warriors is not like any gap year program, it’s unique in the way that they understand the growth of us teenagers. Everyone involved puts 100% into everything with a bubbly and happy nature.
