Sandcastle Lessons

All lessons are 2 hours duration. We meet at the beach, where you will be provided with all the equipment necessary to achieve sandcastle mastery! You just bring your sunscreen, water, hat, and enthusiasm!

Due to a change in primary employment, lesson bookings are not yet being taken for the 2023/2024 summer season. Christmas gift vouchers will be available on this website from late November 2023.
We look forward to welcoming you at the beach next summer.  

Pre-purchased gift voucher remain valid, so if you are holding a gift voucher, please contact info@kingofthecastle.nz to arrange your lesson.

Lessons With Family and Whanau

Learning to build an epic sandcastle offers fantastic fun for multi-generational families including children, parents, or grandparents. A 2-hour lesson is a great opportunity to enjoy a shared learning experience away from devices, screens, and shopping malls.
It’s the perfect Christmas gift voucher for visiting family.
Note:  Your lesson will be exclusive to your group alone. Groups including children under 12 years of age are required to have at least one participating adult, as some shovelling of sand is required, and the children will walk knee-deep into the ocean to collect water.

 

Lessons With Your Adult Friend Group

Sandcastles aren’t just for kids. A 2-hour lesson exclusively for your group can add a unique experience to your day at the beach with friends. Let your creativity flow as you work together, or competitively! The end result will amaze you. Surprise your friends with an unexpected activity. And where better than in the sun, on the beach!
