About us

Got To Get Out is a social enterprise adventure group on a mission to get our community active, outdoors, connected and healthy by organising outdoor activities in New Zealand.

Got To Get Out was founded by a New Zealander of the Year semi-finalist and “Local Hero” recipient Robert Bruce. Robert was once the managing director of a marketing company, but upon being made redundant from new owners, he decided to change his life and change others’ too.

Since 2015, we’ve organised hundreds of free or cheap outdoor trips, hosted mostly at our Facebook page.

Please make yourself at home on our site. If you want to know more about our upcoming events, view our Adventures page or read our Frequently Asked Questions!

Our Advantages

Welcoming & Friendly

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert hiker, you’ll find a home with us. Our guided tours and activities cater for all ages, and all experience levels.

Inclusive & Community-Oriented

Many people who are new to their respective towns come on our trips to make local friends. We hear it’s hard to make friends with Aucklanders, for example, so coming on a Got To Get Out trip brings people from different walks of life together.

Easy & Organised

We make it easy for people to join a Got To Get Out trip, taking away the administration and hassle by doing the planning work and providing the equipment.

Safe & Accredited

Got To Get Out has the correct training, safety audit, and concessions to be legally able to provide outdoor recreation services so guests can feel safe and cared for when on adventures.
For more information, please read our Health & Safety page.

Hours of Experience

Robert leads most hikes and bike rides personally and has thousands of hours of guiding time under his belt, as well as being one of the qualified bus drivers on the staff. As well as Rob, there are a number of highly skilled and passionate staff and volunteers who each love getting Kiwis outdoors to improve their health and mental wellness.

Services

Rent Equipment

Got To Get Out has a LOT of outdoor adventure gear and vehicles, and we want to make it easier for people to ‘get into nature’ without needing to buy everything upfront.

Customised Trips

We also arrange custom/group trips, for sponsors, brands, offices, or students. One series is called Get Into Nature, which gets international students (mostly studying in Auckland) outside, active, and learning. Organise a custom trip, activity, or event with us today!

Hike One, Give One

In 2020, we began a program called “hike one give one” (or “ride one give one”, “ski one give one”). When someone buys a ticket to one of our trips, we give away a ticket for a free hike to youth in need. So far, we’ve taken a number of rangatahi (youth) from South Auckland on hikes for free, which has been a life changer for these youngsters.
