E3 Bay of Islands is an 11-day expedition exploring beautiful places many people don't get access to. We will carry all we need for the 11 days, cooking our own kai, setting up camp in different sites, and supporting our small expedition group as are challenged to grow in new ways. This is an opportunity you do not want to miss.

The expedition starts at the 'epicentre' of our bicultural journey in Aotearoa New Zealand with a welcome at Te Tii Marae in Paihia. This recognizes the whenua & Moana Nui that we will travel on.

We will mostly journey by sea kayak around Bay of Islands. We will also engage our legs to hike the sights of Cape Brett and its beauty. We'll get the opportunity to camp in some beautiful and historically significant locations, embracing our focus of leadership development, faith formation and creation care.

E3 starts and closes at Paihia, with a transport shuttle available from/to Auckland.
