Our Real Immersions
Bali Real immersion
14 Days
Escape the tourist trails of Kuta for a 14-day deep dive into the spiritual heart of Ubud and the rugged marine frontier of Nusa Penida. You’ll master Balinese culture through traditional arts and cooking before getting hands-on with critical sea turtle rehabilitation and marine ecosystem restoration. This is an adrenaline-fueled island adventure that peaks with the emotional "money shot" of releasing healthy hatchlings back into the wild.
Thailand Real immersion
14 Days
Thailand Experience the perfect 14-day loop from the high-energy streets of Bangkok to the misty mountains of the North and the coastal beauty of the Gulf. This high-octane journey balances legendary overnight train rides and jungle trekking with high-impact volunteering in education and wildlife conservation. It’s the ultimate squad-based masterclass in seeing the "real" Thailand while leaving a tangible, positive mark on the Land of Smiles.
