The Spirit of Adventure is a New Zealand youth development program built around life at sea. Aboard the tall ship Spirit of New Zealand, a group of ākonga from St Ignatius embarked on a voyage designed to build confidence, teamwork, leadership, and resilience through hands-on sailing and shared challenges. It’s not just about learning to sail—it’s about discovering your own potential, forming lifelong friendships, and embracing the true Kiwi spirit of adventure.
