A Quest Overseas Expedition can last three weeks to three months.
In all cases they are first and foremost, a journey with a purpose.
50% of our Teams are traditional Gap Year Students undertaking our three month Combined Expeditions most of which stretch from January to June. Our Gap Year Students are the cornerstone of our operations and have been since they helped establish Quest Overseas in 1996. In the past ten years they have provided enormous support and a lot of fun to over 90 Expeditions to Africa and South America.
20% of our Teams depart in the Summer and are ideal for anyone in academia who have long summer holidays, those between School and University, those between University and a Career. Our Summer Expeditions are wide and varied, departing for Africa and South America throughout June to August.
20% of our Teams are those on a Career Sabbatical and join a mixture of our shorter Expeditions, diving in Mozambique one month and in the heart of a Bolivian Animal Sanctuary the next. At interview we discuss your options and expectations in depth and can provide advice on independent travel between or after a Quest Overseas Expedition.
10% of our Teams are the Parents and Friends of their younger generations. Our three week Expeditions are a more casual and laidback approach to Expedition Life but no less significant in their purpose. The first ever Parents Expedition left for Ecuador in 2000.
