Friday afternoon is activity time at Evakona!
Every Friday afternoon our students can get out of school and see some of the surrounding beauty. Each week is a different activity, challenging, creative, exciting and often breathtakingly beautiful. It is the time to start making your memories of New Zealand.
Full time or Part time General English courses, everyone can join our activity on Friday afternoon.
We offer many different outdoor and indoor activities such as surfing on our beautiful sandy beaches, horse riding through luscious green countryside, fishing in the ocean, kayaking on inland rivers, visiting farms where you can pet and feed the animals, walking through the bush, experiencing Māori culture and visit a marae. You can also participate in arts and crafts, make your own bone carving, relax in natural hot pools, go on scenic boat cruises, play tennis, try pottery and much more!
A great opportunity for the students to learn English through doing interesting and fun things.
We can offer extra activities during the week at the students’ request so they can make the most of their stay and experience as much as possible. (A minimum of two students is required for those extra activities.)
Special Activity Courses
Study English in the morning, and ride a horse in the afternoon (2 afternoon rides per week). You will learn the basics of how to saddle-up, ‘talk’ to your horse, and go for a gentle ride. During the horse trek you will see green fields, trees, streams, waterfalls and see magnificent views of the countryside and ocean. You can also have close-up encounters with other farm animals. The treks go for 1.5 to 2 hours. Please contact us for more information.

At Evakona you can study English and do a PADI Open Water Diving Licence course at the same time. In cooperation with Dive Zone Whitianga, Evakona students can study English and get a Scuba Diving Licence at a very competitive price.
