The Nesting GroundTioman, Malaysia
Little Planet lives in the village of Kampung Juara, on the rugged east side of Tioman Island. White sand beaches, a protected marine park and primary rainforest make Juara the perfect place for students to connect with nature, grow as individuals and play as friends.
Every Little Planet program starts from here. We have worked alongside this community since 2008.
Our CampusesLagoon and Riverview
Little Planet owns and operates two outdoor education properties on Tioman, Lagoon and Riverview, about two kilometers apart at either end of Juara Bay. Together they hold capacity for more than 200 students plus accompanying teachers and staff.
Both properties were purpose-built, retrofitted, and modified specifically to serve as outdoor education campuses. Little Planet books one campus exclusively per group, so a school has the run of the place for the week rather than sharing it with other groups.
Learn through fun
We keep play at the heart of everything we do. Students connect with nature and learn about the world, themselves and each other while swimming, trekking, sea kayaking, snorkeling and camping.
Embark on an adventure
By land, sea or river, our expeditions give students the chance to plan and complete their own multi-day adventures in one of the most remarkable natural settings in the world.
A transformative experience, designed for you
Every program is built around your school's goals. A typical week looks like this:
Day 1. Arrive, settle in and build trust through games and connection.
Day 2. Kayak through diverse ecosystems, join local marine conservation work and explore our house reefs.
Day 3. Connect across cultures, care for the environment and enjoy some friendly competition.
Day 4. Trek through old-growth primary jungle, chase waterfalls and reflect on the week around a campfire.
Day 5. Head home with memories of adventure and seeds of growth.
Build a sustainable future
Our project-based learning puts environmental awareness into action. Students work alongside the Juara Turtle Project on turtle conservation, coral restoration, environmental education and field studies. They also help run a working waste management program in the village.
JTP is also a hub for IB CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) experiences.
Contribute to local communities
Every project students join has a real benefit for Kampung Juara. Local professionals and experts lead the work, so students take part in meaningful projects with lasting, net-positive results and make genuine connections along the way.
Our local community partners include Pulau Harvest, Suka Suka Farm, and SK Kampung Juara (the village primary school).
