Discover NZ

The Discover NZ programme is specifically designed for international students who want to make the most of their holiday time in NZ. Join your fellow international students for a classic New Zealand experience.

Across this 10-day exploration programme you will travel to many of the most beautiful and iconic sites in the South Island. You will explore remote wilderness areas, access beaches and walks off the normal tourist trail, encounter wildlife, immerse yourself in a Māori cultural experience and truly discover New Zealand.

You will leave the programme with a greater understanding of life in New Zealand, of Te Ao Māori (the Māori World) and of the Kiwi people. The Discover NZ programme starts and finishes in Nelson.

You will leave this course with a bunch of new friends and on an adventure buzz! Check out our latest adventures on Facebook and Instagram.
