It is suitable for any age as there are a variety of activities to suit every age and interest. Most activities are done as a group, following a suggested itinerary, but families can choose to do their own thing (alone or with their friends) if they wish. The arrangement is flexible to cater to the needs of different family setups (for example, families with infants or the elderly). We would love for everyone to join the activities but we leave it to the families to decide.

We use hostel-style accommodation as it gives the greatest flexibility and the freedom to use it as a base for the adventures. The rooms are private and would generally have bunk beds, sometimes with on-suite facilities. Everything else in the centre is shared, including the kitchen, bathrooms, dining and various lounges and common rooms. The centres are exclusively hired by MFA and the facilities will only be used by us. All bed linen is provided. All you need to bring is a towel and toiletries for your stay.

People make their own way either via private or public transport. They will also require transportation during the adventure to get by places. Once people join, they can also explore car sharing options.

The adventures are on a self-catering basis, so the food is each family’s responsibility. People manage food with a combination of following options:

(a) Pre-cook at home, freeze and bring them to the centre. There are enough fridge/freezer facilities at the centre to store them. The food can then be reheated whenever required.

(b) Cook food at the centre. The centres come with large fully equipped kitchens with cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. All you need to bring are the groceries. You can also share food/cooking with friends and families who join the adventure.

(c) Eat out or get delivered from local halal restaurants and takeaways. There are also supermarkets and convenient-stores around for any ready-made or easily-prepared food. 

(d) In some of our adventures, a catered option is provided for a small additional price. You can specify this choice when you book, and if there is enough demand we will have a full-time chef for the duration of the adventure preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Check-in is from 4 pm on the day of arrival. We recognize people may have work until 5 pm on that day, so we make allowances for late arrivals, often up to midnight. Check-out is by 10 am on the day of departure.

Once you book, you will be sent an email confirmation and invited to join a private Telegram group for the adventure. All communication after will be via the group. There will be a briefing and introduction meeting on the morning of the following day of arrival. Similarly, there will be a farewell meeting on the morning of departure. You will also be sent information packs and the suggested itinerary well in advance to prepare for the adventure.
