In Yangshuo the feeling obtained from climbing and abseiling is taken to a whole new level, set against the backdrop of the stunning karst mountains.

We encourage students to think for themselves, test out their own boundaries and then push them.

Most importantly, all activities are set within a safe and controlled environment supervised by experienced IA staff.

Students will take advantage of our fantastic vertical facilities and feel the mental and physical challenge that our rope based activities provide.

After a 15 minute drive to the picturesque Fuli town, students will take part in a variety of water based activities, play some games and the set off to explore the lake. Our kayaking day is packed full of fun and discovery; incorporating games, exploration and lots of splashing around!

Caving – Students will travel through Yangshuo's famous Moon Water Cave, finding underground rivers, clear springs and mud pools to wallow in. Students will be taken through the passageways whilst taught by guides about caving and cave geology.

Orienteering - Students will learn to work together and navigate their way through various check points scattered across the Yangshuo countryside. All participants are given a compass a map and a checklist for hole punches & pictures.

TRANSPORTATION  Transporta;on  will  consist  of  large  coaches  and  mid-­‐sized  buses  chosen  through  our  local  providers  for  their    cleanliness,  safety  and  driver  awareness.    ACCOMMODATION  The  hotel  will  consist  of  clean  and  simple  double  and  triple  rooms  with  bathroom/toilet.    All  students  will  be  located  in  one  hotel  enabling  suitable  supervision  and  separate  accommoda;on  areas  are  provided  for  boys  and  girls.  Teacher  accommoda;on  will  include  double  rooms  with  aKached  en-­‐suites  and  girls/boys  are  separated  by  floor.                FOOD  &  BEVERAGE  The  menu  is  chosen  to  balance  interna;onal  and  local  fare  to  provide  exci;ng  and  appe;zing  nourishment  for  the  students.  Meals  are  hearty,  tasty  and  designed  to  complement  the  ac;vi;es.
