🧭 Open DofE Expeditions – For Individuals

Flying solo on your DofE journey? No problem!
Each year, West End Adventure brings together brilliant groups of individuals for our Open Bronze, Silver, and Gold Expeditions.

From hillwalking through Scotland’s stunning glens, to sea kayaking adventures, or the ultimate challenge – our Gold Stand Up Paddleboarding Expedition – there’s something epic for everyone.

Our experienced and welcoming team will make sure you feel right at home while helping you achieve your award with confidence (and a smile!).

All Scottish-based expeditions kick off from our Glasgow base – and we’ll take care of transport from there.

🌍 International DofE Expeditions – Iceland & Morocco

Looking to take your DofE to the next level? Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Trek through the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, rise with the sun, explore desert landscapes by day and cool off in warm rivers by night…

Or journey across the glacial fields of Iceland, with epic hikes and the reward of a soak in natural hydrothermal rivers. Pure magic.

These expeditions are open to individuals and groups, and all follow the official DofE framework – with a full UK-based practice expedition before we go.
