About Hillary <strong>Outdoor</strong>s <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Barrier</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Program<br />

The setting is truly breath-taking, surrounded by pristine forests<br />

and oceans. The landscape is outstanding; from rugged to<br />

serene for adrenaline-filled and tranquil adventures too. Hillary<br />

<strong>Outdoor</strong>s has an unbelievable 230 hectare private property<br />

and secluded bay located at Karaka.<br />

The <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Barrier</strong> <strong>Island</strong> adventure is underpinned by the<br />

strength and determination that drove Sir Edmund Hillary to<br />

triumph on his journey to the summit of Mount Everest.<br />

Students learn how to work closely together, as they navigate<br />

the coastline, explore the forests, learn how to kayak as well<br />

as coasteering, go sailing, rock climbing, abseiling and surf<br />

kayaking! The ultimate adventure quest awaits them.<br />

The Hauraki Gulf is the ideal environment for students to<br />

learn the dynamics and advantages of team work, achieve a<br />

greater insight into the roles they take on in their teams and<br />

have the<br />

chance to develop outdoor skills.<br />

Students will also learn about teamwork, outdoor skills,<br />

responsibility, leadership, perseverance as well as their impact on<br />

those around them. Through the activities, young adventurers<br />

will strengthen connections to themselves, their peers and the<br />

environment too.<br />
