About this trip

For many Primary School children, leaving the UK for the first time without their parents can be a little daunting. That’s why the Opal Coast makes such an ideal destination for a Primary School trip. With short journey times, small individually run hotels and centres to make them feel at home and plenty of fun and activity filled visits to beautiful beaches and pretty towns, they’ll be too busy having a good time to worry about home, or even realise how much they are learning!
