Journey with us

Let’s go on an adventure together, where we support you on your journey to conquering your fears, developing confidence, finding wellbeing, discovering hope, and becoming the best version of you.

As fellow travellers on this adventure called Life, we understand the transformative power of learning from our experiences in wilderness spaces. The power of confronting an obstacle that appears too hard, too immense, too overwhelming for us, and then helping each other to overcome the obstacle together.

At Adventure Specialties, we believe that you have untapped potential waiting to be discovered. We’re interested in investing in you, so that you can leave these wilderness spaces feeling empowered — with new courage to take control of your life, your relationships, your future. We know you have got it in you. Let’s journey together with courageous hearts.

ADVENTURE WITH PURPOSE

Using outdoor adventure and the beauty of nature to support your personal growth. For individuals, families, community groups, schools, and social service agencies.

ADVENTURE THERAPY

Combining outdoor adventure with therapy: group activities, challenges, facilitated discussion and time for reflection, in order to develop the social and emotional skills needed to live a full and healthy life.

WORKPLACE WELLBEING

Support your staff by coming on an adventure with us, to strengthen team relationships and increase wellbeing.
