Join us on a unique study trip to Iceland! You get to experience the country's nature through spectacular mountain hikes, volcanic landscapes and hot springs. Explore glaciers, waterfalls, and black-sand beaches while learning about the outdoors in one of the world's most fascinating ecosystems.

Morocco offers a truly unique blend of nature, culture, and climate — making it one of Africa’s most exciting and awe-inspiring destinations for adventure and outdoor experiences.
The Atlas Mountains boast snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, and small traditional villages — the perfect setting for hiking and mountain biking. The culture is rich and fascinating, and outdoor life here is about much more than nature — it’s about meaningful encounters with people and traditions. We’ll spend the night in a Bedouin camp and visit nomadic villages where people still live much as they have for generations.
The journey ends by the coast with surf lessons in Agadir — a perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable adventure.
Highlights:
Hike Mount Toubkal (4,167 m)
Camel ride in the desert

Overnight stay in a Bedouin camp
Learn about desert life, sandboarding & community
