Welcome to Got To Get Out.
We are a social enterprise adventure group on a mission to get our community active, outdoors, connected and healthy. We arrange a mixture of free and paid-for outdoor adventure tours, activities, and events, ranging from hiking, mountain biking, paddle-boarding, ski trips and climbing. We cater to beginners through to experienced hikers, providing ‘harder hikes’ that may be multi-day and involve camping or hut stays in forest parks or mountains.
We also have a purpose-built ‘Got To Get Out Workshop‘ in Glenfield Auckland, to fix and recycle bikes, with a mission to get people riding.
If you feel like you’ve #gottogetout, you’ve come to the right place! Check out our upcoming adventures today.
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 made a complete life change in 2015 and decided his goal was to change others’ too.
Since 2015, we’ve organised hundreds of free or cheap outdoor trips, hosted mostly at our Facebook page. In 2024 we set up the ‘Got To Get Out Workshop’ to fix and restore bikes.
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!

Refurbished Bikes
The Got To Get Out Workshop is based in the Wairau Zero Waste Hub, Glenfield Auckland. At this purpose-made facility, we have all the tools and skills to fix older bikes, to save them from landfill / scrap metal and most importantly get people outdoors riding!
Got To Get A Bike?
At Got To Get Out Workshop, we take unwanted bikes and outdoor gear, restore them with care, and make them available to you at affordable prices.
Our team of passionate volunteers works hard to give these bikes a second life, so you can enjoy the outdoors without breaking the bank or adding to landfills. Join our community in Glenfield, Auckland, and get ready to ride in style while supporting sustainability. Come visit us for a great deal and a whole lot of fun!
“Ride It Keep It” is an exciting new project by Got To Get Out that’s all about getting more people on bikes and helping the environment! Thanks to funding from the Auckland Council Climate Grant, we’re repairing bikes and giving them away for free to people who need them—whether it’s for transport, fitness, or just to get outdoors. Our goal is to reduce waste, lower carbon emissions, and make cycling accessible to everyone.
We’re actively seeking donated bikes that we can restore and give a second life to, as well as volunteers to help with repairs. If you have an unused bike gathering dust or know someone who could benefit from a free ride, we’d love for you to get involved! Your donations and support will help us continue to make cycling accessible to everyone, reduce waste, and promote sustainability in our community. Every bike, every helping hand, makes a difference!
