“I booked the Amazon Wildlife Rescue trip through Gap360. Having never travelled outside of Europe before, I was quite nervous about the trip, but the team were absolutely great in reassuring me that it was all going to go smoothly. They told me what I needed to pack, what to expect, and what I needed to prepare myself for, and were there every time I needed them for a question or problem. The project itself was absolutely magnificent. The staff at the centre became some of my greatest friends, and I met so many other incredible volunteers too. I couldn't recommend the project highly enough, I spent 4 weeks there and was in tears when I left as it had begun to feel more like home than home had. I'd do it all again tomorrow!”
“This company is amazing for first time travellers. I was so nervous about what would happen to me when I arrived, but all the staff were so informative and nice that it made the thing a lot easier. Booking all my activities and accommodation was easy too, all the reccomended hostels were always good and in a great location!”
“I loved the gap 360 trip and our leader alissa was great. I would 100% do these trips again! There was only one thing that really left me upset and disappointed me and that was the animal welfare on gili t. I'm a huge animal lover and as soon as I got onto the island and saw the horses I wanted to leave and couldn't bare to watch the horses suffer ever day I was there. I found myself having to try and ignore what I was seeing because otherwise I would've just had to stay in the villa room every night. I saw the amazing things that bali intro has done, especially with the home stay visit that was part of the trip. If bali into could potentially start to look at trying to help out the animal welfare on the island it would make a big difference. I hated feeling part of the problem even though we didn't use the horses and only witnessed it. I spoke to a lot of other members on the trip and they all hated what was going on. Overall I had the best time ever on the bali intro trip and I am so glad I was able to be a part of it, I have absolutely no issues and think that it was great value for money. I just want to ask again if you as a company would be able to help in any way that would be great.”
“Just finished my 2 weeks of volunteering and cannot wait to go back. An absolutely amazing experience being able to be up close to many of South Africa's native wildlife. Helping to maintain the animals enclosures and building new accommodation, also being able to help maintain all the animals on a day to day basis. Would recommend this to everyone with a love for animals :D thank you to all the volunteers and coordinators for making my stay an unforgettable one”
“The last two weeks were so amazing that the first day waking up at home was quite sad, I already miss my tour family, napping on the coach, seeing new cities and hearing different languages, tasting new foods from their birthplace and learning new histories! My tour leaders were amazing and my friends and I are closer than ever! Two weeks was not enough! But I will cherish them for the rest of my life without a doubt!”
“I knew that I wanted to start seeing the world but was not sure where, when or how much I wanted to spend. I looked on the gap360 website and was instantly able to talk to a representative on the instant chat. From a five minute chat I knew that I wanted to go to Thailand and gap360 were able to accommodate this.
As soon as I had chosen a date to go, gap360 did the rest. They organised my flights, insurance options, helped me arrange further activities. The support they provided was very helpful and made organising and preparing for my trip a lot easier.
After booking my trip with gap360, I was relaxed that I was travelling on my own and soon became friends with many people on my buddy list.
The accommodation throughout was to a high standard, the food provided during the elephant camp and trekking was very good, traditional Thai food.
Overall, I thought the trip was a complete success and was organised to a very high standard. Thank you!”
“Gap 360 are perfect when its your first trip because they make everything much simpler and they always reply to questions no matter what they are about. The actual trip itself is amazing, its run by a couple and the other staff are all amazing at making you feel comfortable and I made such good friends. The volunteering experience makes you feel really good about yourself and you get so much hands on experience with so many animals, I would always recommended this trip! I cant wait to go back in the future!”
“My representative at Gap 360 (Nicola) was superb throughout my whole experience. I did the Au Pair USA programme for 1 year and loved it! It didn't go completely smoothly for me (I changed to a different host family after 2 months of being in the US), but Nicola was really supportive and I was in contact with her throughout my stay in America. She also was able to answer all of my pre-departure questions or put me in contact with an au pair on the programme for me to ask questions. I would absolutely recommend this programme to anyone that wants to do it. For me, a year was enough time to be living under someone else's rules and bringing up their children in the way that they want them brought up, so bear that in mind before you go that you need to be flexible and able to take criticism.”
“I wanted to say how amazing our guide Tham was, there was never a moment she wasn't willing to help! She deserves some recognition for how good she is as a guide!”
“I am an untravelled individual and probably classed as a little bit of a liability and yet Gap360 coached me through this process. I was able to achieve my goal of travelling solo. I have never come across a travel company who will make sure I have printed off my forms and answered all my questions and all they have recieved in return is a couple of packs of biscuits from me whenever I visited. I would highly suggest Gap360 to others and continue to use the company myself,although I may have to take my husband this time before he gets any urge to divorce me! Thank you Gap360, you are friendly, efficient and have given me the chance to see the world.”
“I did the Ultimate NZ tour and it was the best experience of my life, guides very knowledgable and everything ran smoothly. What a stunning country too!!
Would highly recommend”
“Booked my 2017 adventures, Jon was amazing!! Answered any questions i had, always had time to call (I had a lot of questions!) and made booking my trip so easy!”
“Booked the Cape Town community trip yesterday and Gap 360 was great exspecially Jon who in just an afternoon had sorted out everything for me and gotten back to me that day for me to book it. Very Excited for this trip! keep up the good work 360 :)”
“Had an amazing travelling experience with ThaIntro and gap 360 helped and organised my first ever adventure on my own very well and I'm really happy with how professional and helpful they were. Even answering little questions about how much packing and where are the tickets. Also giving great advice! Totally recommend booking travelling with them :)”
“Gap360 are a great help, my trip to The big cat project was amazing! It's like being with family, so loving and great help a must go to place again. Gap360 made my decision to go 100% better and I thank them very much! I intend to continue to book a lot of my projects with gap360.”
“The Team @ Gap360 are absolutely incredible!
From viewing the website to booking an adventure of a lifetime I've had nothing but constant support from the Gap360 representatives.
They were always there to live chat, or respond instantly to an email. Every question was answered with the greatest of detail helping me at each and every stage of booking.
I can't wait to set off on this adventure and I am truely grateful to this company for making it happen.”
“The only thing I'd change about this trip is that I didn't choose the longer option! From start to finish all the Gap 360 team have been so helpful and our tour guides were amazing, making the trip the best it could be for us. It's definitely value for money.
Thai Adventure offers a good mix of activities and I liked going from city life to the villages and then relaxing on the beaches. It's an experience that i'd recommend to anyone and I've made some brilliant memories and new friends.
My biggest piece of advice would be to take some decent trainers and warm clothes for the trek to the jungle huts, and be prepared for a few long coach journeys. Other than that I felt Gap360 prepared me pretty well for the trip!”
