Adventure-based Learning

Abseiling twenty metres of sheer rockface? No problem.

Negotiating thundering whitewater rapids in a kayak? Sweatless.

Finding out what you're really capable of? Now that's the reason people come to Blue Mountain Adventure Centre.

If you want to stretch your mental muscles as well as your physical ones, we've got what you're looking for.

Unique location

The spectacular outdoor environment of Tongariro National Park is right on our doorstep. With our spacious new lodge we can now accommodate up to 50 people onsite at BMAC. The lodges are set on 3 acres of grounds with fully-facilitated kitchens, large dining and lounge areas, and plenty of room to sleep! We even have indoor rock climbing and a high ropes course.

Our programmes

With many years of combined experience in outdoor leadership and instruction, our staff know the surest way to a fantastic adventure! Their qualifications and abilities brought them to BMAC, but it's their genuine heart for the work and the results they see every day that keep them here. And the fact that they're a great bunch of characters is yet another reason people keep coming back year after year.

  • White water rafting

  • Kayaking
  • Canoeing - Wanganui River and Lake Taupo
  • Rockclimbing and abseiling
