Journey into the heart of the UK's most dramatic and wild landscapes.
Experience life in the wild first-hand and learn about the world in a way that no textbook can teach you, from how to survive in the outdoors to the fascinating wildlife that you might encounter. You’ll discover how to face whatever challenges life throws at you, with the support of enthusiastic and experienced Leaders.
Led by experts, the expedition has been designed to take you out of your comfort zone in a challenging yet safe environment, with a real focus on the skills and personal development you will gain from the experience. The safety and support of our Young Explorers is the cornerstone on which we build and develop an expedition from conception through to departure and return.
The vast majority of young people return from our expeditions with a wealth of newfound practical skills, new friends-for-life and a real sense of personal development – all of which can have tangible benefits for the future.

An absolutely incredible journey. It took me out of my comfort zone and tested me in a way that has helped me develop as a more tolerant person. Also, I had the chance to make some amazing friends!
Lily - Young Explorer, Dangoor Next Generation Iceland 2018
I’ve learnt how to safely push myself out of comfort zones and to take risks sometimes. I’d usually be at home sitting in my bedroom and not really socializing with many people. I haven’t made many friends in college, but now I really feel like I can approach people and really give it a go. This programme really has been life changing.
Alex - Young Explorer, Dangoor Next Generation Iceland 2018
It’s been life changing. This has been the first programme I've gone on that's worked for me and has really impacted me. I’d describe myself before expedition as a shy and nervous kind of person who worries a lot, but after finishing the expedition I've really changed and I now feel confident in myself and my ability to push my limits.
