School tour specialists providing comprehensive teacher resources

Group travel management software
EA uses the latest software to make teachers' lives easier by performing tasks and collating information on their behalf. Instead of teachers chasing up parents for students' passport details, medical information, waiver forms, chasing payments etc, now Educating Adventures will do this on your behalf.

Our planning
The next step is to let know that you would like to work with us and we can advise and help you to make this tour a reality. There is no obligation to travel, this step just allows us to make all necessary enquiries and work with our suppliers on organising initial details for your group while you advertise the trip to your school and collect deposits.
Get it right
This quotation and itinerary is a starting point. We enjoy this stage, spending time with teachers to make changes and ensure each school group gets the best itinerary at a suitable package price.
Confirm the trip
To confirm your trip a non-refundable deposit (normally 15% of the package price) is required. Once we have secured the main components of your trip with our suppliers we will send you a confirmation invoice. This will include a remaining payments schedule as agreed with you. Note: international flights are generally only available to be booked 11 months prior to travel.
Price guarantee
We know how difficult it is for teachers to ask parents for more money. Once we have issued a confirmation invoice the price will never change as long as the itinerary does not change and the numbers of travellers remain the same. So the price of the tour will not increase if flights and/or taxes increase or exchange rate changes. Another reason why EA School Tours makes teachers' lives easier!
As night falls, embark on a unique adventure to explore the spectacular Mackenzie Basin night sky with Dark Sky Projects Crater Experience. You'll be taken to a private location where you'll get to view the stars, planets, and galaxies through high-powered telescopes. You'll also learn about the legends and myths associated with the stars and constellations.
This day tour is a great way to experience the natural beauty of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve and learn about the science of astronomy. You'll leave with a new appreciation for the wonders of the universe and the importance of preserving the dark sky for future generations.
Overnight Tekapo
This morning you will take a hike up Mount John, located in the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve. You'll embark on a moderately challenging hike to the summit, taking in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and glaciers. You'll leave with a sense of accomplishment and a new appreciation for the wonders of the universe.
Glacier Explorers 2.5 hour trip is a great way to experience the Tasman Glacier - New Zealand's largest glacier - in the most unique way possible.
You will be able to pull up alongside a huge dripping iceberg that landed at the top of the Glacier in the form of snow, and approximately 300 years later, being able to touch it as ice.
After a refreshing half hour walk to the terminal lake of the Tasman Glacier, an experienced guide will whisk you away in a stable boat to explore the melting ice face of the Tasman Glacier and icebergs that have carved into its murky waters.
The lake feels incredibly eerie as the boat cruises slowly for one hour, from one point of interest to the next whilst the guide imparts the history of the glacier, lake and Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, allowing you to build your own picture to the unique nature of the area.
All this plus an awesome backdrop of New Zealand's highest and most spectacular mountains, including Aoraki Mount Cook and Mount Tasman.
It’s one of the best ways to see Queenstown’s surrounding landscape – a cruise across Lake Whakatipu aboard the iconic century-old coal-fired steamship, the TSS Earnslaw.
