OUR AWESOME ACTIVITIES
Make the most of your time at Kokako Lodge by hiring our instructors for some seriously fun outdoor activities. Each instructor can lead up to 12 people and sessions typically take 1.5 hours, with 15-30 minute breaks in between. Daily programmes tend to have 3-4 sessions depending on how long you will be at camp.
To get started, read more about the activities below, decide how many activities you might like to do, and get in touch to discuss pricing and details. We work closely with you to custom-build a programme which suits your group. We can also help you decide on activities you can lead yourself, such as Orienteering, Chariots, Tramping, the Burma Trail and ABL (Adventure Based Learning/team building games).
Please note: Instructors are booked for full days only and some activities (Raft Building, Kayaking and Abseiling) may require two instructors per group for safety reasons. "High Ropes" is actually several separate activities which require a 1.5 hour session per activity, such as Centipede, High Beam, Cargo Net etc. More information about these activities is coming to this page soon.

High Ropes
Climb up the Centipede, along the Beam or through some tyres, maybe even jump off a pole or see if Kiwis can fly! An individual activity or team challenge, you choose.
