Under New Zealand legislation, we are required to inform you of the potential hazards associated with participating in an Adventure On journey. While our priority is always your safety—and our guides are highly trained to assess and manage risk—certain inherent risks remain that cannot be eliminated.
ACTIVITY
RISK DISCLOSURE
We ask you to carefully read the following Risk Disclosure Statement before booking.
Agent: as an agent you acknowledge your shared responsibility in managing safety. This includes recognising potential risks and clearly communicating them to clients and guests
If you have any questions regarding the risk disclosure written here please contact us for further information.
It is essential that all guests understand and follow safety information and instructions provided by their guide.
Our guides will, so far as is reasonably practicable, identify, assess, eliminate, or minimise risks involved in each activity. In turn, all guests are expected to follow their guide’s instructions at all times—this is critical for both personal safety and the safety of the group.
Potential Risks & Hazards
I acknowledge that the activities I am participating in may involve risks, dangers, andhazards, including but not limited to:
Weather Conditions: New Zealand weather is highly changeable and can impact visibility, terrain conditions, and aviation safety. Guides closely monitor weather patterns and may adjust plans accordingly to protect your safety.
Alpine & Remote Terrain: Our adventures take place in natural environments that include, but are not limited to: cliffs, crevasses, glaciers, steep slopes, loose rocks, icy surfaces, and avalanche-prone areas. There is risk of serious injury or death from falls, slips, or environmental exposure.
Physical & Medical Fitness: You must accurately complete a medical disclosure form and notify Adventure On NZ Ltd of any medical conditions or changes prior to departure.
Aviation Risks: Adventure On NZ Ltd works with fully certified aviation partners under NZ CAA regulations. While helicopters and small aircraft are maintained to the highest standards, flying in remote and alpine conditions carries additional risk.
Emergency Situations: In the unlikely event of an emergency, our guides are trained in first aid and evacuation procedures. Medical care may be limited in remote areas, andevacuation may be delayed.
Natural Disasters: New Zealand is located on tectonic fault lines. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis are rare but can occur without warning.
Adventure Activities: Activities may include hiking, rafting, heli-skiing, mountaineering, rock climbing, water sports, mountain biking, motor vehicle use, wildlife encounters, equipment failure, illness, or separation from the group.
Trekking: Trekking can have the risks of an adventure activity due to terrain, environmental and natural hazards. Stringent safety and operational conditions are followed; however, there still remains an element of risk that could include injury or death.
To minimise the risks, you are required to follow all instructions and disclose any medical or fitness conditions below.
