The Pure Exploration Adventure Guide Program in Queenstown, New Zealand is an amazing program! I learned so much and had so much fun! And I've already been offered employment in the adventure guiding industry!

The experience was everything I could have hoped for

The experience was everything I could have hoped for. I learned a ton, had a blast, did awesome things in incredible places and made lifelong friends. We got to see some truly awesome places and really get to enjoy time as a group playing games at camp and on the trail, having plenty of fun conversations and doing epic stuff.

The best part of the Adventure Guide Program in New Zealand was doing every activity (hiking, rock climbing, pack rafting, and general exploring) with each other and sharing the same experiences, you learn a lot and meet awesome people.
