PLANET TREKKERS
Discovering the world together is as much about the journey as the destination. With that in mind, Planet Trekkers Kids Club offers a programme of tailored services and activities for children aged between 4 - 12 years old. The Planet Trekkers Programme allows families to explore the world together and connecting them with their island location. It aims to support children’s growth, curiosity and creativity, by providing them with fun opportunities to learn and experience new things.
