Nature & Conservation

New Zealand is famous for stunning mountain backdrops, flowing rivers and green hills. This has been achieved through conservation efforts and a sense of environmental guardianship. At a glance, our nature and conservation itineraries include visits to alpine, forest and marine environments, guided tours through geothermal and conservation land, environmental science workshops, and policy discussions.

Visit a protected forest and go on a bush walk

We are excited to show our groups the beauty of forestry in New Zealand, through guided walks with educators.

Experience a day at a New Zealand school

We can add a school visit as part of your itinerary, so that students can make friends with kiwi kids and experience the school day.

Combining adventure with forests

Learning doesn’t just have to happen on the ground! One of our options is to walk amongst the forest canpopy.

Connecting the land and the water

The link between the water and land is important, so we work with scientists to better understand this connection.
