No, not at all! It’s not about how fit you are, but rather having character building experiences. A moderate level of all-round fitness is recommended and will definitely make things more enjoyable

We will send out a recommended gear list when you are confirmed on the trip.

You don't need any fancy kit, but there will be some basics that will serve you well to have. Eg. comfy backpack for our overnight hike, comfy shoes for hiking long distances, and weather appropriate clothing.

We can provide sleeping bags if required.

We recommend that you arrange travel insurance prior to coming. Due to the nature of the activities, there is always an element of risk involved, and It is important to be prepared in the event of an unforeseen accident or loss.

At the end of the day it is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

If you are not a NZ Citizen you will need to show proof of Vaccination, complete the NZ travel declaration form, and have the appropriate visa to enter the country. All the information you need to know can be found HERE. Please be sure to read carefully and comply with all the requirements to avoid any hiccups.

The food we provide will be yummy and plentiful, using as many whole foods as possible, and made fresh daily. Due to some of the remote locations we will be visiting, it won’t be fancy, gourmet, Michelin star meals; but it will fill your belly, warm your soul, and give you the energy to get you through the daily activities.

Please let us know if you are Vegetarian/Vegan, we will try our best to accommodate all dietary groups, but please know options are quite limited in some locations.

As per the itinerary we provide many, but not all meals, purely because we are on the road and know sometimes you will want to get what you want for a change.

There will be nights where we are close to civilization, and others where we wont. You are free to purchase alcoholic beverages when available, but they won't be provided.

If you are up for the challenge though, you’ll probably feel pretty amazing going without it ;)

Minimum age is 18. Generally, guests interested are between 20-40 yrs, but we welcome all ages who are down for some fun and can handle the adventure; because age is nothing but a number, right?!

Absolutely! These experiences are all about meeting people and forming friendships.

It's also ok to come with a friend/partner - some of our accommodation spots have double/queen bed share options.

The RAW Experience you join will run to a schedule of activities, some of which are bound by time limits. There will be some days where there are options to choose alternative activities. Of course you can sit out activities if you like, but you will be selling yourself short and won't get the full value from the experience.

That would be nice haha, but unfortunately, No. As people join us from all around the world, flights are not included in the RAW Experience price. All flights are arranged by the guests.

With people arriving on different days and times, It is up to the guest to make their way to the Day 1 meet up location.

Our final day is still full of adventure, so we provide accomodation for the last night of the experience so you don't need to stress about where you are going to lay your head after your big adventure is done.
