Team Building Programs in NZ North Island- Other:

The North Island is the smallest of the two main islands of New Zealand. The North Island is home to the largest city in New Zealand—Auckland, also known as the ‘City of Sails’, and the Capital City of New Zealand—Wellington. It enjoys a sub-tropical climate, with scenic landscape with vast forests, wild beaches, stunning peaks, and picturesque lakes that make this island an exceedingly ideal destination for team building programs and retreats. The native bush is laced with walking tracks, which lead to secluded natural hot springs and historic Kauri dams, and Unique Team Building can arrange for these activities to be incorporated in your group’s program.
