Duke of Edinburgh Award

Adventure Beyond has been working with groups doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award since we were first set up in 1997.

We are an Approved Activity Provider through the Duke of Edinburgh Award as well as being an (AALA)Adventure Activities Licensing Authority approved centre.

We are specialists in canoeing, kayaking and walking expeditions, catering for all, from the total beginner who's never looked at a map and doesn't know how a tent is pitched, through to the more experienced groups looking to challenge themselves at Gold.

Embark on an Unforgettable Adventure: Discover DofE Expeditions with a Legacy of Excellence

Prepare to step into a realm of adventure where personal growth meets the thrill of the outdoors in a breathtaking symphony. Our extraordinary Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE) expeditions are your passport to uncharted territories, pushing your boundaries, and etching lasting memories.

Unveiling Nature's Grandeur:

Embark on a journey that ranges from tranquil canoe expeditions to exhilarating river challenges and rugged walking escapades. Glide along serene waters during our canoe adventures or master the dynamic currents of exciting rivers. Conquer demanding terrains on our walking expeditions and witness nature's grandeur as you navigate through landscapes both awe-inspiring and humbling.

Comprehensive Training and Support:

We're not just about the adventure; we're about nurturing your skills and confidence. Our offerings encompass training, practice expeditions, and assessed expeditions. Training takes place at suitable venues, be it schools, hills, or rivers, depending on your expedition type and group location. We're sensitive to your schedules, especially considering that many DofE participants are in their exam years. Our goal is to seamlessly integrate training into your program.

Supervised Practice Expeditions:

Unaccompanied practice expeditions are supervised by our qualified staff through 'distance supervision'. This approach ensures that if any situations arise, timely assistance is guaranteed, enhancing safety without compromising the adventure.

Assessed Expeditions with Expert Guidance:

Unaccompanied assessed expeditions feature our seasoned Adventure Beyond staff, maintaining the highest safety standards. Our experts are qualified and experienced in mountains, hills, rivers, and the sea. Holding relevant National Governing Body Awards, including Mountain Leader, 4* Canoe, 4* Sea Kayak, and First Aid qualifications, our staff is the backbone of your secure journey.
