Highlights from Day 5 (Friday) down in Tongariro.

Friday morning was spent packing up and tramping out from the overnight. What incredible weather and scenery the group had, including clear skies to witness all the stars. Once back at base, students cleaned all their overnight gear and began to pack-up for the journey back to Auckland.

Another epic year for our students (and staff) down in Tongariro! The experiences gained at Hillary Outdoors are always second to none!

Highlights from Day 4 (Thursday) down in Tongariro.

Tonight is the big overnight trip! Students (and staff) spent the morning organising gear and packing bags before heading off into the wilderness. They tramped into the foothills of the mountains and had a stunning sunset view from their camp spot! Tomorrow they will tramp out and begin to prepare for their departure back to Auckland.

Highlights from Day 3 (Wednesday) down in Tongariro.

The students spent a large portion of the day preparing to cave and then actually caving in the local caves close to the OPC base. An exhilarating and challenging experience for all. Students had a great time adventuring though!
