New Zealand — 7-day adventure retreat
Six nights across the North Island: bungy, canyon jet boats, Hobbiton, glowworm caves and the luge. The country that invented adventure travel.
Contract this tripWhy this trip
New Zealand is what happens when a country decides that the correct response to a beautiful landscape is to invent a way to throw yourself off it. Bungee jumping was born here. So was the jet boat. In one week you can fall off a bridge, walk among the redwoods, raft whitewater, race a luge down a mountain, walk through a cave lit by glowworms and have lunch in Hobbiton. It is the single most concentrated adventure itinerary we run, and the flight is long enough that nobody is checking email.
The highlights
7 days, 6 nights. Final order set around your dates.
- 01The Coromandel Peninsula and its coastline
- 02Bungee jumping in the country that invented it
- 03Canyon jet boating — full-throttle, inches from the rock walls
- 04The canyon swing, a free-fall arc that is somehow worse and better than the bungee
- 05Whitewater rafting
- 06Hobbiton, the fully dressed Shire film set, which converts even the sceptics
- 07Glowworm caves
- 08The Redwoods night treewalk, a suspended canopy walk lit after dark
- 09Gondola up, then go-kart luge back down — done on repeat, usually competitively

Who it suits
Young, competitive sales teams — the group where the internal conversation is about who will and will not do the bungee.
It is the strongest recruiting asset in the catalogue for a company hiring in their twenties and thirties. Screen for physical confidence: almost every headline activity involves height, speed or water. A group with mobility limitations or nervous first-time travellers will get less from it than they would from Panama or Cancún.
Mike's take on New Zealand — 7-day adventure retreat
This is the trip for a team that will genuinely use it. Almost every item on the list is a thing your reps will talk about for a decade, and several of them are things people are frightened to do until they watch a colleague do it first. That is where the bonding actually happens. Book the travel days properly — this is the longest flight in our catalogue — and go between November and April, when the southern hemisphere is in summer.
