NZ Sailing Trust has recently become an accredited provider of the Adventurous Journey section of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award.

The first two nights will be spent on the water with Auckland Sea Kayaks, where students will learn how to kayak and camp in a safe, fun and supportive environment. They will get the opportunity to lead and be led by their fellow peers under the guidance of an experienced and qualified instructor. The following two nights will be spent sailing on either Lion New Zealand, or Steinlager 2. These boats are significant to New Zealand sailing history and were sailed around the world by Sir Peter Blake in the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race. Everybody on board will have the opportunity to learn to sail the boats, help with the preparation of meals and sleep aboard. An ideal schools holiday programme to promote to students.
