It’s easy to limit or not invest in yourself for a whole bunch of reasons. I was surprised that after 8 short but tough days, I had an experience that is now ingrained in my day to day life. Doing this course is the best decision I ever made.

Programme
This compact course is high energy with little downtime but still perfectly balanced for those looking for physical challenge and seeking a reflective experience.
Like a condensed version of our 21 day course, Discovery Masters will challenge any self imposed limitations of your capabilities through a series of outdoor and personal reflection challenges. Over the eight day programme, you'll take on bush, water and height activities, utilising the bush, mountains and waterways of the Marlborough Sounds.

How fit do I need to be for an Outward Bound course?
The fitter you are, the more you will enjoy it! You must be able to comfortably run 3km in under 25 minutes, plus complete a full day's physical activity.
Check out our guide to getting fit and healthy for OB.
Do I need experience in the outdoors?
No, you don't need to have any experience of outdoor activities or spending time outdoors.
You simply need to be willing to give the activities a go. The more you get involved, the more you will get out of your course.
Can I go with my partner, friends or family?
View all our Frequently Asked Questions
Outward Bound is your opportunity to simply be yourself, without the expectations of people who know you. For this reason, we don't allow you to attend a course with friends or people you know.
You can attend at the same time as someone you know, however, we will put you in different groups (where available).
Our Leaps & Bounds and Custom Design courses are the exception to this rule.
