Irrespective of trip duration, all tours provide an insight into further education and career opportunities, with the chance to build school and tertiary education visits into your itinerary. Trips can also enable students to come into contact with key players within their field of study, as well as supporting the NZ tourism and hospitality industry, by promoting a sense of wonder at our amazing environment and engagement with current issues facing the country.
