looking for somewhere to complete your Duke of Ed adventurous journey?

Come join us and let’s go somewhere amazing. We will explore the wild places of Aotearoa New Zealand with your group of like-minded adventurous souls. Challenge yourself, achieve your goals, live your life to the full.

JOURNEY OPTIONS

Please note that we can only run programmes for pre-arranged groups (not individuals wanting to find a group). So get a bunch of mates together and get ready for an adventure!

GET SOME MATES TOGETHER!

Got a friend or two or three who might be keen to do this adventure with you?

Get together a group of mates who also need to complete the same journey as you, and get in touch to organise a trip. Each programme requires a minimum of 4 participants and a maximum of 8.

Please note there is a “base fee” for each programme, regardless of how many participants there are. That cost is shared between the number of participants, so the more people you can get together, the less you will have to pay! (see Journey Cost section below).

So get a group together and get in touch!
