Program Dates & Overview
We feel incredibly fortunate to be based in New Zealand and cannot imagine a better country and environment to deliver this program. New Zealand is blessed with incredible natural beauty and diverse landscapes. We have everything from rugged alpine environments to beautiful white sandy beaches and islands, rain forests and native bush that sing with the songs of protected native birds. The best thing about it is that New Zealand is safe to explore with no large mammals, snakes or other poisonous animals.
The Gap NZ starts and ends in Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest city. After a week of orientation and getting to know your group we will travel throughout the North and South Island, teaching skills and preparing the group for the independent expedition that the group will plan in the last week. This last week includes a three day journey down one of New Zealand's longest rivers. This journey is completely planned by the participants, with the instructors there purely for safety. You and your group will also lead a personal development program for a group of New Zealand school students on our challenge course.
