Welcome
Mission Adventure's aim is to bring adventure back to life for young people.
Mission Adventure believes that real life adventure is vital to developing young New Zealanders, yet too few have access to outdoor adventure at sea despite ours being a maritime nation.
Sharing life-skills, our instructors lead adventure missions of several days aboard our sailing classroom, which also provides a ready-to-sail day platform for schools.
From our nation's foundation through to modern sport and industry, sailing ships have a prominent place in New Zealand life.
Learning comes alive on the decks of a sail-training ship where every person on board gets involved. This is participatory learning, and it’s tons of fun for all ages!
You'll find us in other places online too:
