This is your launchpad.
Think leadership, teamwork, and global awareness—skills that set you apart. With The Leap, you’ll step into the world with confidence, independence, and purpose.
Plus, your adventure can earn you UCAS points through an accredited Global Citizenship qualification or help you complete your Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s an invitation.
An invitation to pause, take stock, and reconnect with what really matters. Our Leap experiences for midlifers blend adventure, contribution, and calm—designed to help you break routine, rediscover purpose, and return home with renewed energy.
Through meaningful projects, off-grid moments, and shared challenges, you’ll gain clarity, courage, and a fresh perspective on life’s next chapter.
Some adventures are better together.
Whether you're a group of friends, a club, or a team looking to do something extraordinary, we’ll design a journey just for you. These tailored Leaps blend off-grid exploration with hands-on impact—strengthening bonds, building trust, and creating memories that go far beyond the ordinary.
It’s adventure with purpose, built around your people—and made to last.
Some lessons can’t be taught in a classroom.
Our adventures for schools and under-18s are designed to stretch young minds—building resilience, teamwork, and confidence through hands-on, real-world challenges.
Along the way, students gain a stronger sense of self, a wider view of the world, and the chance to earn UCAS points through an accredited Global Citizenship qualification or complete their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Every Leap is built around these three powerful pillars, for a reason. Together, they create an experience that’s dynamic, meaningful, and transformative.
No two days are the same, and no one returns the same.
Challenge is where growth begins. It pushes you beyond your comfort zone, tests your limits, and reveals strengths you didn’t know you had. With every step into the unknown, you’ll build grit, confidence, and the kind of resilience that lasts a lifetime.
You won’t just pass through, you’ll dive in. By living and working alongside local communities, you’ll experience diverse traditions firsthand, build empathy, and gain a deeper, more human understanding of the world around you.
This is adventure with purpose. Through hands-on projects that support communities and protect the environment, you’ll leave a meaningful legacy, and take home a deeper sense of purpose.
At The Leap, we believe that who you travel with matters just as much as where you go. That’s why we create teams made up of like-minded individuals at a similar life stage, so from day one, there’s natural camaraderie, shared energy, and a sense of belonging.
Unlike other organisations that group teenagers with retirees, we focus on alignment of age, mindset, and purpose. Together, our teams face challenges, celebrate wins, and form bonds that last well beyond the adventure.
These aren’t just guides, they’re changemakers. From conservationists and educators to grassroots community leaders, our partners are deeply rooted in their local environments. They welcome you off the beaten path, offer rare insight, and connect you to projects that drive real impact.
With their leadership, each Leap becomes more than an adventure, it becomes a meaningful exchange, built on respect, purpose, and shared goals.
Over the past two decades, we’ve proudly built this global network, and we’re honoured to call them partners, collaborators, and friends.
When you travel with The Leap, you’re never on your own. From the moment you book, we’re here to guide, support, and cheer you on. With over two decades of experience and a tight-knit global team, we’re all about making sure your journey is smooth, safe, and unforgettable.
We’re proud members of the Year Out Group and Gap Year Association, which means we meet the highest standards for safety, sustainability, and student support. You're in expert hands.
We don’t do faceless bookings or automated replies. You'll get personalised advice, pre-departure guidance, and 24/7 support while you're away—whether you’re a first-time traveller or a returning Leaper. We’re always just a message or flight) away.
The best proof? Our community speaks for itself. With over 70% of our bookings coming from personal recommendations, repeat midlifers, and returning families, our impact runs deep—and our travellers keep coming back.
