All of our activities are held in the greater Auckland area, so they are all extremely accessible and awesome.
Auckland has a little bit of everything for outdoor lovers.
MTB – We ride at Woodhill for all our courses. They have delicious food trucks and a great variety of trails that meet everyone’s needs.
Tramping – Our tramping activities will be held in the stunning Waitākere Ranges in West Auckland. When the time comes to tackle some larger hills, we will head to the Southern Kaimais.
Sea Kayak – Our sea kayaking will all be done on the east coast, north of the Harbour Bridge.
Rock – The Essentials and Foundational courses will be held at Vertical Adventures in Glen Eden. For the Technical Skills and Journey courses, we’ll take you to quarries and exposed rock faces in Auckland for some true outdoor experience.
We inspire individuals to reach their highest potential through innovative outdoor leadership training. Our hands-on, student-focused programs are rooted in real-world experience and tailored instruction, fostering both personal and professional growth.
We believe outdoor learning builds confidence, resilience, and meaningful connections—empowering people to create lasting, positive change.
We value strong relationships—with our learners, communities, and partner organisations. Our programs are designed to create real, lasting impact through engaging, purposeful learning.
As a professional team, we prioritise safety, quality, and continual improvement. We're passionate about learning in, through, and for the outdoors—because that’s where real growth happens.
