A live directory of New Plymouth and Taranaki's team-building and group-activity operators — surf and coast, maunga adventures, art, gin and brewing, and cultural tours.
Taranaki builds a group programme around two landmarks: Taranaki Maunga and the black-sand Coastal Walkway. New Plymouth is compact and walkable, with a surf coast, a well-regarded arts scene led by the Govett-Brewster/Len Lye Centre, and a growing food, gin and craft-beer culture, so organisers can mix coastal and outdoor activity with creative and cultural sessions in a single day.
The list below draws live from MICE's record of New Plymouth and Taranaki activity operators — surf and water, adventure, creative, cultural and culinary experiences. Many operators are mobile or host at their own site, and most list a minimum and maximum group size. Seasonal and surf conditions apply, so confirm availability, group limits and a backup plan directly with the operator.
Pair activities with a venue from the conference & event venues directory and a hotel from the accommodation directory, or browse the full team-building & activities directory. MICE keeps Taranaki's venues, hotels and suppliers in one national record.

Yes — local surf schools and coastal operators cater to first-timers and corporate groups, providing gear and instruction. Share your group's experience level so they can pitch the session appropriately.
Art, pottery, gin and brewing experiences, cultural tours and bowling all work indoors, making them good backups if the coast or maunga is weathered out.
Several creative and culinary operators are mobile and can run sessions at your venue or offsite. Outdoor and surf activities are tied to their location — ask the operator what's possible.
