TE WAIAU TOA JOURNEY

22+ YRS | 8 DAYS

On this unique journey of self-discovery, you’ll paddle 200km from the mountains to the sea on Te Waiau Toa, the Clarence River flowing through the Hurunui district of Te Waipounamu, the South Island.

Te Waiau Toa is a true wilderness expedition delivered in partnership with Clarence River Rafting, the first course in Outward Bound’s Journey programme. Together with up to 15 watchmates, you’ll learn to navigate new terrain, set up campsites, cook in the outdoors, and truly disconnect from life’s distractions to be present in the moment.

You’ll come away with a greater understanding of yourself, your personal values, and a greater connection to the natural world and those around you. Join us for the journey of a lifetime.

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

► Purpose: Explore your own personal values and take time to consider their place in your life. Step away from your daily demands to find clarity in who to be moving forward.

► Connection: With your identity, with the people around you and with the natural world.

► Resilience: Practice facing challenges in the world with an intentional mindset. Strengthen your capabilities to connect with others in a meaningful way.

► Compassion: Show aroha for yourself and others around you.

“A magical and inspiring journey that will provide growth and friendships to last a lifetime. I found clarity and peace that I never thought possible in 8 days. I have learned skills to connect with people and my surroundings in a meaningful and deeper way.”
