• The Duke of Edinburgh Award

Auckland Sea Kayaks specialise in marine-based journeys for all levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Award. We use a progression model that trains, educates and empowers students to explore the outdoors safely and independently.

We take pride in supporting numerous schools and students, ensuring they fulfill the Duke of Edinburgh requirements in a safe, fun, and professional manner. We firmly believe that not all learning occurs in classrooms, which is why our goal is to enhance students’ awareness of the world and foster a deep understanding of environmental protection.

In the Adventurous Journey section, we encourage students to embrace a keen sense of adventure and discovery. By stepping out of their comfort zones, they can explore, learn more about the environment, and develop invaluable self-confidence and teamwork skills that will serve them well into adulthood.

These unforgettable trips with Auckland Sea Kayaks are opportunities for personal growth, unforgettable memories, and lifelong learning. Join us for a journey that will shape young minds and leave a lasting positive impact.
