Study Trip

New Zealand is definitely the country for those seeking the extreme. It is also a country with beautiful and diverse nature, including majestic mountains, tropical forests and turquoise seas.

Each day will be packed with activities. You will get to challenge yourself both at high altitudes and in the water. We will plunge down the world's highest commercially rafted waterfall. Surf and swim in the Pacific Ocean and enjoy our evenings together with the class.
