Tailored Leaps

rediscover connection + purpose + the joy of discovery

Unite. Challenge. Inspire.

Through our Tailored Leaps

Whether you're a group of friends, a club, or a family, why not make your next adventure count? We design personalised journeys with purpose, where shared challenges, off-grid escapes, and meaningful projects create connection, growth, and memories that stick.

Forget cookie-cutter trips and predictable retreats, this is adventure done differently. Our tailored journeys are built around you — your people, your goals, your spirit of adventure. Whether you're a group of friends or family marking a milestone, a sports club seeking challenge, or a company looking to build connection and leadership, we’ll craft an experience that inspires and unites.

It’s adventure with purpose, built around your people, and made to last.

Tailored Leaps

Where will a Tailored Leap take you?

Tailored Leaps take you to some of the world’s most breathtaking places — from Kenya’s Indian Ocean coastline to the highlands of Colombia and the paddy fields of Sri Lanka.

But these journeys go far beyond sightseeing.

You won’t just see a country, you’ll step into the rhythm of daily life, roll up your sleeves alongside local change makers, and take on challenges that push you out of your comfort zone. This is immersive, hands-on travel with meaning at its core, designed to help you forge real connections, understand different perspectives, and make a tangible difference along the way.

You might trek hidden valleys to reach Machu Picchu, canoe through Colombian jungle, or live on a remote beach helping to protect endangered turtles. You could support a women’s empowerment centre in Sri Lanka, care for elderly communities in Kenya, or stay with local families in Peru. Your impact might involve reforesting land, building fuel-efficient stoves, or helping maintain a community centre in Costa Rica.

Every Leap is crafted to challenge, inspire, and stay with you long after you return.

This isn’t just a holiday — it’s a journey that redefines adventure, purpose, and connection.

This trip has left me with a group of life long friends from around the world, experiences that will affect me forever and skills to help me through life. Everyday was a new adventure, from building hatcheries for turtle eggs to teaching English at a local school to playing volleyball with the Costa Rican coast guards to watching a turtle lay eggs. I would highly recommend this trip.

Five Stars to Milly and her team for organising a wholly wholesome and colourful time in Sri Lanka for our Midlife Leap. The blend of work and play suited me very well. Each bit of volunteering taught me a great deal about myself and my own strengths: it turns out I can do more and be more than I had realised. Thank you.

Our personalised itinerary had everything we asked for and more; we wanted our pupils to really immerse themselves in the local community and complete acts of service which would be genuinely meaningful and the Leap, who partnered with Ocean’s Alive more than delivered. I cannot recommend the Leap and the Kenya experience more highly.  They have given us memories to cherish for a lifetime.

The Building Blocks behind every Tailored Leap

Each country offers its own mix of adventure, connection, and impact.

No two Leaps are the same — and that’s exactly the point. In every country, we offer a wide range of carefully curated building blocks, from hands-on conservation and community projects to wild adventures, cultural immersion, and moments of reflection.

These blocks are designed to work together, or stand alone, allowing you to shape a journey that fits your energy, interests, and goals. Whether you're drawn to the ocean, the mountains, the people, or the projects, we’ll help you create a Leap that’s uniquely yours, with all the right ingredients for transformation and meaning.

Tailored Leap to Peru

High Andes Experience

Start by living with Andean families, contributing to climate resilience projects like reforestation or irrigation restoration. Then, embark on a 4-day off-grid trek to Machu Picchu, far from the tourist trail. Hike remote valleys, stay with mountain farmers, and feel the transformative power of the land and its people.

“The trip was out of this world; we have exhausted ourselves working out with Milly the adjectives which might encapsulate our feelings after the adventure of a lifetime.”

Adventure Building Blocks

  • Climate action volunteering (e.g. tree planting, sustainable farming)
  • Homestay with Quechua families
  • Cultural immersion: weaving workshops, traditional cooking, coca ceremony
  • 4-day off-grid trek to Machu Picchu
