WHAT COULD YOU DO?

X treme Gap was founded in 2008 when Debby Neeskens met Oliver Bray while diving with bull sharks in Thailand. The experience was so cool they were hooked. They wanted to share the awesome feelings exciting adventure travel can provide.

Every year since then Xtreme Gap has gone from strength to strength, our experienced team has grown as we have discovered more exciting adventures. This year we will be sending away thousands of travellers to enjoy and ex-perience some of the best things the world has to offer and now have an amazing team of well travelled individuals working at Xtreme Gap.

All of XG experiences offer something unique. Most of our trips you will not find with any other travel company.

ones they all have something in common. They

Learning the lingo on your travels can form the

basis of an incredible adventure. Looks great

on your CV, being great at a second language

it is a genuinely useful skill to have and what

could be better than hanging out and soaking

up the atmosphere in cool cities like Buenos

Aires, Argentina or Quito & Cuenca in Ecua-

dor?

Then there is probably the biggest adventure

of them all, the Venezuela Travelling Class-

room in the Amazon and Caribbean!

Or kill 2 birds with one stone, and study Span-

ish and become a gnarly surfer training with

members of Ecuador's national surf team in

Montanita! Now that is Xtreme Gap style.

The Xtreme Gap Difference…

What makes us so different to other gap year companies offering trips to Thailand? A lot. Virtually every other gap year company are middlemen who use local agents to run their trips.

Not us. We have our own staff in Thailand, our own dive school is owned by one of the directors of Xtreme Gap Year, and we custom build our own unique exciting experiences.

Whilst other companies put your money into their marketing budg-ets and profits, we put it to good use and make sure that your trips include more, are more exciting and will give you the best Thai ex-perience possible. Generally we are cheaper, include more and we definitely run more exciting trips.

diving and Kilimanjaro climb. Actually, that’s just the be-

ginning - we have far more than 5 crazy, once-in-a-

lifetime things for you to do on this diverse continent of vast

open spaces and rugged beauty. You may be addicted to that

rush of adrenaline, get a thrill from being up close and per-

sonal with wild animals or love to spend most of your time in the water – whatever gets

you going, we’ve got it!

Africa

We have trips available in no less than 9 countries, including Uganda, Mozambique, Tanzania

and South Africa. If you want to learn a new skill or get involved with the locals (human or

animal) then you can choose one of our conservation experiences or training courses, such as

the Big Cat Conservation Project in Namibia, the Kruger to Coast Adventure or the Safari

Guide Training. On the other hand, you might be the ideal candidate for the Cape Town

Adrenaline Overload, but which level are you game for – hard, double hard or the ‘born

without a fear gene’ mentalist level? Sick bags can be provided, but the other end is your

problem!

With the range of trips we have, you can choose to take one big one or combine a number of

smaller ones. Tell us how much time you’ve got, what you want to do and what your budget

is and we’ll give you the best options. What would you rather be doing in 6 months – sitting

in a boring office staring out at the rain or learning to track lions, coming face-to-face with

a Great White or just chilling out on a white sand Indian Ocean beach?

boring bright lighted class room. It is an intensive course that will have you ordering taco’s and getting into the Mexican swing in days! Besides going to classes you are free to enjoy the laid back beach life or go explore Mayan ruins, go diving, visit one of the beautiful under water caves (‘cenotes’) and enjoy the Mexican hospitality.

Freediving Mexico in the sacred wells of the Maya’s

M eter by meter you descend into the dark crystal clear water while you try to stay as calm as possible, knowing that you have more than enough air left to make it back up safely. At 16 meters depth you look around and see how the water breaks the light from the sun into beautiful rays, illu-

minating a magical underwater world full of stalagmites and stalactites. A sight you will not see anywhere else in the world. You go back up where your instruc-tor and your buddies wait for you and you can finally let the air out, and breathe… preparing to go back down again. That is freediving in the Mayan Rivi-era and one of the most amazing things you will ever do!
