On your trip, you and your students can expect to learn more about Māori culture and its influence on contemporary New Zealand. You will also have the opportunity to take part in a range of action activities, and improve your skiing or snowboarding ability. We can tailor a unique trip to suit your interests and learning objectives. School trips to New Zealand are fun, adventurous and encourage students to step outside their comfort zones.
Students can accelerate their learning in group lessons at either Coronet Peak or The Remarkables ski area. Lessons are tailored to students current ability and take into consideration their desired aims and objectives. Instructors at both resorts are well known for being professional, fun and engaging. Group lessons are perfect for cultivating students ski ability and exploring more of the mountain. They can spend their free ski afternoons exploring further and practicing their newly gained skills.
No trip to Queenstown is complete without sampling some of the other adrenaline pumping activities such as luging up the gondola. With panoramic views of the Remarkables Mountain Range and Lake Wakitipu, this is an activity to remember. Students will enjoy racing down on the luging carts, trying to beat each other and taking the corners as fast as they can. Or, enjoy a thrilling jet-boat ride across Lake Wakitipu and up the Kawarau River.
Queenstown sits on the shore of crystal clear Lake Wakatipu among dramatic alpine ranges. The Remarkables and Coronet Peak ski areas both offer professional Snowsport schools and varied terrain suitable for all ability levels. Queenstown boasts many great cafe's and restaurants within walking distance of your accommodation and a smorgasbord of outdoor activities. Including canyon swinging, gondola rides, luging, jet boating, horse trekking and river rafting are available all year round.
