Jungle SURVIVAL Expedition, Langkawi, Malaysia
13th - 24th October 2025
£3000
This stunning archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Malaysia is classed as a UNESCO world geopark, with a wealth of un-touched primary jungle and un-inhabited islands to explore. On this two phase trip we start with a three-day trek through the jungle, as we're getting used to the expedition routine, sleeping in our hammocks and navigating the river systems & waterfalls that make this place so stunning. For the second phase we head out by boat to our deserted island, where you’ll learn the tricks of the trade that turn one of the most inhospitable environments into a joyous place for an adventure. Each day you have practical teaching and simulation on survival techniques as well as treating wilderness medical conditions common to this ecosystem. From heat illness to snake bites, trauma and evacuating casualties. And somehow we still leave some time for rest and relaxation.

Sustainability is something we are passionate about having seen first-hand the damage humans are doing to the environments we explore. We behave responsibility as we travel and strive to strike the balance between humans and nature. All our cleaning fluids are biologically degradable so they don't contaminate the soil or erode the coral, and we practice a 'leave no trace' policy ensuring we leave every camp site as we found it.
