This is a specially designed programme that includes physical training and conditioning in Singapore, advice on proper gear and apparel and finally a trip overseas where you will enjoy the highs of a trekking vacation.

This Introduction to Trekking programme is well-suited for team-building and bonding for schools, social groups and private organisations.

Climbing High

Climbing High is our high altitude climbing progamme created to achieve the following objectives:

(1) To promote a climbing culture in Singapore, encourage Singaporeans to challenge their physical and mental abilities and “scale new heights”. Singapore, despite its terrain limitations, is no deterrence to those who love the great outdoors or have aspirations to become a mountaineer.

(2) To impart and share knowledge of high mountain climbing, in terms of technical know-how as well as physical and mental discipline.

(3) To provide a platform for Singaporeans, who have achieved great heights, to share their experiences and inspire others to accomplish their own aspirations.

This programme involves climbing of a high alitude peak and intensive training to prepare for the climb, led by an experienced mountaineer.

Mt Kilimanjaro Expeditions 2011

Take Only Pictures

Our series of travel photography workshops in the world’s most scenic places, under the guidance of experienced photographers, hope to help train the keen eyes and equip one with basic photography skills to capture travel journeys.

In learning to capture nature at its best, faces reflecting life and wildlife in actions, we hope travellers can become more aware of the environment and the multitude of threats it faces. Thus, build into their instincts a strong sense of environmental consciousness wherever they go.

Goodwill Cycle

Goodwill Cycle is our annual cycling expedition which includes a donation drive to raise funds for a local charity organisation of the expedition's destination. By aiming to do our part to support the local communities of the places we travel to, we hope to promote a mutual positive experience for the local people and those who travel with us. A journey is made rewarding when the experience is positive. An experience ought to be equally positive to ourselves, as well as, to those we meet.

Share A Story

The "Share a Story" Programme aims to encourage positive interactions between you and the children you meet in the countries you travel to.

Many of Adventure Quests' destinations are to Third World countries, where many foreigners, out of kindness and generosity, give out candies, chocolates and toys to the children on the streets or in local schools. We believe that children should not be conditioned to expect handouts.

Share a story is a meaningful way of giving, which entails learning for the children, fun interaction and positive experiences for both you as the visitor, and the local community.

Through sharing a story in a local school, children home or orphanage, you get to share your favourite childhood tales with the local children through creative ways - narration, finger puppets, skits etc. The children can, in turn, illustrate the same stories through drawings or play out the characters in the stories to create another story and learn to become storytellers themselves.

Adventures Quests hopes that as many children as possible can reap life-long benefits from your story sharing, which no amount of candies and chocolates can achieve.

Giving Back

A small token of each payment of our Bhutan packages will be given to sponsoring young monks from economically disadvantaged families awaiting formal enrolment in Monastic Schools in Bhutan. This small contribution is done through our local partner and in close collaboration with the Youth Development Fund founded by Her Royal Highness Azhi Tshering Pem Wangchuck to build funds for the youths of Bhutan. Under the project, these monks will be able to enrol and receive proper monastic education.
