For the eco-conscious, travelling can present somewhat of a conundrum, and we are no exception, we send hundreds of students on life-changing educational and cultural experiences around the world - this, unfortunately, adds up to a lot of air miles and a lot of carbon emissions.
We’d be the first to admit our footprint isn’t perfect and with calls for unprecedented changes, we are happy to announce a new partnership to continue our sustainable development. We are proud to have partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects a global community that’s inspiring positive change in our world, to help reduce the impact of travelling.
"Every time a student is booked onto a trip we plant a tree on your behalf, making you part of a community changing the world"
Our Partners have so far planted over 250 million trees throughout Africa, contributing to positive social and environmental impacts in the areas that need it most.

Educating Adventures banks with Virgin Money, NAB, Citibank and the Bank of New Zealand. Our accountants and taxation advisers are Deloitte.
Financial Security
Educating Adventures protects and has in place bonding and trust accounts to give our clients peace of mind with regards to financial security. Each year we undergo a series of financial reviews with the various associations we are members of.
In the UK we hold an Air Travel Organisers License (ATOL) with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Our ATOL number is 9231. ATOL protects customers from losing money or being stranded abroad. It does this by carrying out checks on the tour operators and travel organisers it licenses and requiring a financial guarantee called a bond. If a tour operator goes out of business the CAA will make a refund to the customer or if the customer is abroad they will arrange for the customer to finish their holiday and fly home.
In New Zealand we are a member of the Travel Agents Association of New Zealand (TAANZ). TAANZ has established a Bonding Scheme. As a member we subscribe to consumer protection arrangements including operating a client trust account. It is compulsory for every full member of TAANZ to belong to the Bonding Scheme.
In Australia we are a member of the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA). ATIA represents the majority of retail and corporate travel agents, tour operators, wholesalers and consolidators in Australia. In addition to an annual financial review we are also required to operate a client trust account. A trust account provides clients with peace of mind, knowing their money is safeguarded. Funds deposits are to be used only for securing the required travel package elements and not for funding day to day operational costs of the agency.
