ActionQuest is an incredible adventure that is yours for the taking. For over 30 years, ActionQuest has consistently delivered high-quality, expedition-based summer programs for teenagers. Through hands-on experiential learning and adventure travel throughout the world, we have ignited the inherent leadership skills within thousands of young adults.
You will leave your ActionQuest voyage with new skills, talents and independence. The AQ path offers action-packed adventures that focus on sailing, scuba diving, cultural immersion, marine biology and global exploration , all in a ,live-aboard' environment unlike any other. You will live on sailing yachts with a crew of 8 to 12 teens your age. Within this close-knit team, you develop strong friendships by conquering daily challenges. Everyone plays a part in running the vessel, with roles and responsibilities shifting daily. One day you may be skipper, the next day chef, and perhaps, navigator the next. This active learning aids in fostering accomplishment and self-reliance in a fun, interactive environment! The experience is complemented by a committed, professional staff whose main goal is to support your discovery. The individual attention and camaraderie between staff and shipmates makes each voyage unique, as the entire team unites to accomplish the AQ mission of high action, real-world learning.
Whether you choose a three-week voyage to the British Virgin Islands, the Caribbean's Leeward Islands, the Mediterranean, Galapagos, Australia or Tahiti and French Polynesia - you are in for the adventure of a lifetime. Don't take our word for it, speak to some of our alumni. Over 10,000 teenagers have taken the ActionQuest plunge.
