Bigfoot Adventures instructors are experienced, qualified and endeavour to create a rewarding experience for you in the great outdoors. Whether you are looking for a school programme, social club event, corporate team bonding trips, or just a fun day out, we can offer you affordable, reliable fun. We look forward to spending time with you in the outdoors.
For the last 45 years we have been a leader in providing responsive and impactful Outdoor Education and Recreation programmes. From Banks Penninsula in the East and Charleston in the West we can collaborate with you to bring your programme to life. At the Boyle we can offer a variety of different style camps helping you create sequential programmes that build on the skills already gained by your ākonga. Utilise the Boyle Lodge as your base or get out there and spend it in tents around the campfire. You can even have a bit of both! All in the beautiful mountains of the Lewis Pass
Kokako Lodge has the unique advantage of being inside the Hunua Ranges Regional Park, making the camp the perfect place for students to immerse themselves in nature. We offer a wide range of outdoor activities with a bunch of enthusiastic, friendly and experienced instructors.
Here you can hike in the Hunua Ranges, build rafts to float in the pool by the famous Hunua Falls, and take your students to new heights with our challenging High Ropes course. We have the always-popular Archery, many maps for Orienteering plus Search and Rescue, Team-Building Games (ABL), Low Ropes, a Burma Trail and even our very own Glow Worm Trail.
Our facilities are well equipped to handle groups of up to 100 campers. We have cabins with bunk beds, a large commercial kitchen and dining hall, a multipurpose room with a Smart TV, a piano and table tennis. Groups have the option of self-catering to keep costs down, or we welcome your choice of caterers.
