What our DoE campers say!

Rated 5-Stars on Google

Awesome experience with awesome leaders!! Beautiful scenic places which I would never have been able to go to if I just went with my own family. The leaders are also very knowledgeable

Had such a fantastic time with these guys! Stress-free and such good company, the guides were so professional and accommodating to the whole group. Can't wait for the next one!

I love doing my Duke Of Edinburgh camps with Escape Adventurous Journeys because we always go to stunning places to camp. On top of this the leaders are always very friendly and have a ton of knowledge which they share with us to help us become more confident in the outdoors. I've done my bronze, silver and gold camps with them and highly recommend them.

As part of our commitment to education and safety, we also provide outdoor training courses to all ages and groups in the areas of navigation, river crossing and rope and harness safety (Forestry).

Our passionate team is made up of secondary school outdoor education teachers, Outdoor adventure guides and Rotorua Urban search and rescue team members.
