Drinking pure water on Awhina Wilderness School Holiday special

Build memories that your children will remember for years to come.

  • Watch their eyes light up as they journey high on the mountain in an ex-army jeep that saw active duty overseas
  • Walk in the footsteps of your personal Maori guide as he shares his deep knowledge of the sacred mountain
  • Listen to the ancient tales
  • Hands on learning – see and touch trees that are thousands of years old
  • Learn the names of these trees and how to recognise them
  • Learn the geological history of the mountain
  • Drink crystal clear water from a stream that started life high on the mountain and will journey to the shores of Australia
  • Shelter inside a living tree

If you’ve run out of ideas to keep the children entertained, then here at Awhina Wilderness Experience we have the answer.

This fascinating tour will keep mum, dad AND the youngsters interested. No more sitting through movies you hate or turning them lose and then worrying about what they’re getting up!

Enjoy quality time together with your children.

The experience lasts from 10am to 3pm and each walk is tailored to the age of your children.

How many children can you bring? Bring ‘em all! Realistically, the jeep holds 8 passengers so that’s 2 adults and up to 6 children. (Most of the trails are not suitable for pushchairs or strollers.)

Lunch will be provided on the mountain and there is a toilet available.

You won’t be sharing the tour with anyone else – this is a quality experience for YOUR family.

We understand how important it is to build those bonds with your children – to share experiences with them that will build memories that last a lifetime.

To take advantage of the reduced price of $400 for the entire family, please use the booking form below or phone us on 027 777 6648 (9am -5pm) and tell us you want the School Holiday Special.

If there are any special dietary requirements or if you have any extra questions, add them into the message field.

We do offer accommodation as an extra if you want to use the area as a base whilst you explore the Waikato River Trails, the Pureora Forest Park, the Otunui Paddle boat, or Waitomo Caves to name just a few of the activities for the school holidays that are available in this area.

EXTRA: ONLY for families who take both the school holiday special AND accommodation, Guide John will light a campfire and spend an hour or two telling tales in the evening.

This is what one family had to say:

“Thank you so much John, Mariata and Robbie for all the extra special things you did for us to make our son’s 8th birthday so memorable. The campfire, the stories, the wonderful accommodation – what a brilliant weekend.” Kirsty and John – 02-10-2011

This offer is for the April 2012 School Holidays.
