Across the Divide: Adventure Travel Company

Across The Divide have been running charity and corporate challenges since 1996. We pride ourselves on being the safest around offering the best for our clients. The events are often life changing experiences; you visit amazing parts of the world, learn about different cultures and share the spirit of adventure with like-minded people, this makes Across the Divide the leading UK adventure travel company.

"You'll be very glad you did it and your life will be richer for having done it. In one word - unforgettable!" Sorcha O'Horain, Sahara Desert Trekker.

Across the Divide is almost unique in the travel market in that we organize our events as mini-expeditions, with the full safety and personnel back-up that this entails, regardless of whether it is operating in an overseas location or in the UK

Events are tailor-made as charity challenges, corporate events or for incentive travel.

The company has, from its very first day, supported local conservation organisations with contributions from its profits, embarking on a number of long-term partnerships with conservation groups. To date over £50,000 has been contributed to its African Conservation Partners. To read more follow this link to our responsible tourism page.

TRACK RECORD:

Our track record of events is impressive, from small intimate groups trekking the Inca Trail in Peru for Cancer Research UK, to traversing Costa Rica on mountain bikes for Mencap or staging some of largest outdoor adventure events in Southern Africa for Pallotta Teamwork's (USA) we have the skills and the experience to make what you need happen.

Across the Divide's emphasis is not only successful completion of the charity challenge from our customer’s point of view, but also that the challenges we organise are operated in a professional and high quality manner. We pride ourselves on being one of the safest operators in the charity challenge field

Across the Divide brings not only a wealth of experience to an event but also a sense of humour. Our staff and medics are selected for their wealth of experience and ability to work as a team.

All events have full medical backup in terms of a dedicated doctor and all staff are first aid trained. In 2002 Across the Divide was instrumental in establishing the 'Expedition Medicine Course for Medical Professionals' to provide comprehensive training for medical professionals working as expedition medical officers and medics working in the remotest corners of the world.
