First Step Outdoors are based in the Waikato and we love the opportunity to introduce groups to some of the amazing outdoor experiences this region has to offer.

We work with a wide variety of groups offering different packages;  Schools and Youth Groups who would like us to run  Adventure Camps or Activity Days,  Corporate Groups who would like a team building day, Family Groups who are keen to try something new together, the list is endless.....

We offer a wide range of activities and link in with many providers of accommodation, catering, education and tourism so that we can offer you a total package to meet your exact needs. We are here to help.

All activities are highly risk managed and we operate Instructor to Client Ratio's. Copies of our Safety Management System can be viewed at any time and we can supply Health and Safety paperwork to support your adventure requirements.
