Youth Development

Kudos to our @dukeofednz students who`ve fulled embraced the rocky weather these school holidays! Your adaptability, sense of humour, and surprisingly top-notch camp cuisine were awesome. Thanks for embracing the spirit of adventure.

Even with an atmospheric river event to contend with last week, we still managed to get heaps of happy paddlers on the water, see the Harbour Bridge light up, explore some sea caves, and snap a few summit selfies. We`ve still got spaces available for Easter paddling, come join us for a mission!

Looking for an epic mission these Easter school holidays?

Join us for a 5-day Sail + Kayak Adventure with @nz_sailingtrust from April 13–17.

5 trips, 5 stunning sunsets! Autumn is delivering the magic! 🌟✨ Check out last week’s golden hour (and a moon-rise) over the water. @visitauckland

Not your standard marinelife. @benditto_ and @dan__bull made some new besties this week on their Outdoor Ed trip. @visitauckland

Sharing some highlights from the Whangateau Snorkel & Paddle Day, run in partnership with @mountainstosea.org.nz

We had an incredible day with a record-breaking 155 participants exploring one of Auckland’s most important estuaries. It was an amazing opportunity to paddle through the stunning waters and learn about the critical work being done to protect and restore this beautiful harbour.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us and to Whangateau Harbour Care for helping raise awareness about the need for community action to safeguard this precious ecosystem. 🙌
