About the tour
New Zealand is one of the most beautifully preserved countries in the world. Due to its long isolation from other landmasses, New Zealand provides an abundance of experiential learning opportunities through its rich biodiversity, immense national parks, unique geography, wildlife and dynamic Maori culture. Students will learn outdoors and on location about glaciers, geothermal springs and earthquakes. Then, explore its diverse ecology and learn from scientists about climate change through project-based activities that develop critical thinking. New Zealand is a safe, friendly and accessible location due to its modern infrastructure, making it an excellent destination for school groups.
