About Us

Hi! I'm Brook and I run Bold Gorilla.

For the past three years we’ve run group activities to some of the coolest and most interesting places in the world.

It all started with my son, Fin.

I love to travel - Fin does not. But I found a workaround! I realised that he doesn’t want to go anywhere just with me, but he is up for pretty much anything if he can go with a group of kids.

So I started Bold Gorilla and that’s what we do.

We run group trips to amazing places, just for families travelling with kids. Most of the families are homeschoolers, but school families are always very welcome.

These are not the usual group tours. Everything is built around giving kids an opportunity to make friends and have amazing experiences together, on their own level. They're adventures, learning experiences, and friendship incubators rolled into one!

The day-to-day experience of our trips is also very different. Everything is very flexible, because we want it to be fun, not stressful.

We don't want anyone to feel like their kids are being pressured to go places or do things, when they actually just need a rest. We also understand that some people love to be constantly on the go, but others need time to themselves or rest days in between activities.

Travel has been a huge contributor to our lives. My son has been to 17 countries and has learned so much from seeing things in person, with his own eyes. He’s learned to make friends with people who are very different to him. He’s more confident and adaptable. We’ve both learned to trust ourselves, and each other, even in situations that are unfamiliar.

Travel is amazing for kids. We just make it less stressful and more fun.
