SAFETY

Safety is paramount to everything we do.  Pure Exploration is run by a group of experienced outdoor enthusiasts, keen to share our skills and sense of adventure with young people from around the globe, we know what we’re doing and have thorough procedures in place to ensure your wellbeing during the program.

The safety and enjoyment of our students is our number one priority. We take safety very seriously in all aspects of our service - activities, training, transport, external providers, staff experience, contingency plans. Our equipment and procedures are continually assessed by AdvenutreMark and WorkSafe NZ, with a focus on continuous improvement and proactive maintenance.
