Brief

The program is designed to prepare and train a novice to handle a 4WD vehicle in harsh off-road terrain safely & confidently (rated as medium), to explore the vehicle's off-roading capability & to learn about the function of related equipments including recovery techniques & winching. The various skills learned will be applied during the actual Expedition Trip, with a medium difficulty level, subscribing to the “learn - apply - assimilate” process.

The journey is through one of the oldest rainforest on planet Earth, where “mother-nature” is the classroom for the life-transforming lessons to be learned.
