When our instructors are happy our clients are very happy.
Every single manager at Land & Wave heads out into the woods or the ocean to work with instructors in front of clients for at least one day every week, everyone works together to create epic experiences.

We’ve made mistakes and, importantly, we’ve learnt from those mistakes.
We know that for staff to be happy and do a good job, they need enough time off to rest, have fun and enjoy the landscape.
