Epic morning out on the water with @mountainstoseatrust for a kayak clean-up around Motu Manawa Marine Reserve and Pollen Island. It might’ve been blue skies and rainbows, but the amount of plastic we pulled from the water and shoreline tells a different story. These places won’t protect themselves — we all have a role to play in looking after them.

A big thanks to the students from @rhcpeo who helped clear nearly 300 litres of rubbish from the shoreline at Motunau Bay, Pōnui Island during their trip last week. An awesome effort to help protect this special part of the Hauraki Gulf! 💪🌊 #BeachCleanUp #Leavenotrace

A few shiny shots from a recent City Lights Tour. #NZMustDo #aucklandnz #nzbucketlist

An unbeatable evening exploring Wai Manawa / Little Shoal Bay with our friends from @mountainstosea.org.nz. Local community members joined us to learn about waterway protection, observe native wildlife, and enjoy a paddle at sunset. The Vector Lights also put on a stunning show, wowing guests as they danced across the harbour. #nzbucketlist

Wholesome winter goodness with @rosehillcollegeofficial

Came from the bottom to the top 💪 @bdsc.oed

Winter means fewer crowds, fresh adventures, and more chances to get creative—like these @mahurangi_college students, who jury-rigged kayak paddles to brush up on their sailing skills. Outdoor education at its best.

More highlights from the week thanks to @wildkiwi_outdoor. Bonus points to the students who were hauling out snapper for the team. Definitely making the most of their Outdoor Ed experience.
