An outdoor adventure centre on a six-acre property in Raurimu, bordered by a stream and native bush, and surrounded by Tongariro National Park. The Salvation Army Blue Mountain Adventure Centre is at 17 Pito Street, and the website says it was established in 1990. It offers tailor-made programmes for schools, organisations, groups and families, or the chance to join a camp already running. Reviewers name rafting, abseiling, caving, tramping and high ropes. The website says the purpose-built accommodation is modern, dry and warm, and that there is a campfire by the river after a day's activities. Its instructors are members of NZOIA, and the centre says it is accredited for all outdoor activities and audited by AdventureMark.
Reviewers mention the instructors most often, along with caving, rafting and clean rooms. One reviewer in their seventies says four days of adventure were amazing and that they would recommend it. Another says the family were well looked after and the staff were helpful, and a parent says their teenagers had a good experience. A third says the staff are amazing.
