Pinehurst 2025

Join the Pinehurst crew as they set sail on an unforgettable adventure around the stunning Hauraki Gulf! 🌤️⛵ This epic journey was packed with once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters, including breathtaking sightings of both dolphins and whales along the way — an experience the students will never forget.

From wildlife encounters and island exploration to teamwork on the water and giving back to the community, this voyage truly captured the spirit of adventure, learning, and connection.
