A school trip to Whakapapa is a great way for students to get outdoors and experience something new. Whakapapa offers lesson packages plus sledding and sightseeing on the Sky Waka gondola. Bookings are available year-round, with options for both winter and summer visits.

School bookings

A minimum of 10 students is required for a school booking.

Whether visiting just once, or visiting as part of a regular snow-school program, Whakapapa can support your students with whatever their goals may be.
