MGY Knows Adventure
Our team of passionate travelers live & breathe Adventure. All MyGapYear Team members have travelled the world extensively and have participated in at least one of our Adventures themselves. This puts them in a unique position to offer you first-hand local knowledge of each and every Adventure we offer. We work with you to create Adventures that meet every travel style, create totally unique experiences & check off every bucket list item you desire.
Sustainable Travel
MyGapYear will always be a social enterprise at heart. In fact, we were founded on the idea of Adventures that empower, educate and improve the lives of both the travellers themselves and the men, women, children & animals they work with. Sustainable travel is at the core of our operational model & is an important criteria for all our Adventures. For more information on our charity initiatives check out MyGapYear Foundation.
MyGapYear Value Guarantee
The places you visit, the people you meet & the stories you create should be the most memorable part of your Adventure, not the price you paid for it. We believe we offer some of the best value & most affordable travel Adventures anywhere in the world. We achieve this by working exclusively with local business operators in every destination. This saves you money, and supports local economies everywhere we go.

We set you on the right path & give you time to explore, the rest of the Adventure is for you to create.
