Our specialty

School surf trips, camps & group adventures

Tailored ocean programs for schools, clubs and groups, for up to 140 a day, right across the Matakana Coast. From a one off lesson to a full overnight camp.

Group days are what we do best

Schools and groups are the heart of Saltwater Eco. We have run ocean days for hundreds of young people at a time, and we design every program from scratch around your group, your goals and your timeframe.

Surfing leads the day, with paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling at Omaha, Tawharanui, Goat Island or a beach near you. We run everything in rotational groups, so whether you bring twenty students or a hundred and forty, every single person is in the water and engaged.

Built around your goals

More than a day at the beach

We design each program around what you want your group to take away, whether that is pure fun, a genuine challenge, team building or leadership. Our coaches are qualified and our ratios are safe, so you can relax and let us run the day.
We come to you across Omaha, Tawharanui, Matakana Coast, Te Arai, Pakiri, Goat Island, Wenderholm, Orewa, or a beach near you.
