As a graduate of Otago University, Ari has become renowned for his knowledge and expertise in physical conditioning, becoming a self employed personal trainer. When he isn’t making the world a fitter place, Ari becomes one of the finest and most kind-hearted guides we have had the pleasure of working along side. With his outgoing personality yet calm demeanor, clients can’t help but relate to and appreciate the dynamics he brings to any trip he works on.

Because of his physical nature, Ari also excels in what ever sport he chooses. Before immersing himself in the Adventure Sport world, he reached a high level in playing Rugby Union. Now you are more likely to find him either riding his mountain bike or rock climbing alongside his fiancée Lossie, with their daughter Alexis already looking like a future champion with the added bonus of another littler Lossie on the way. All the best of luck to Ariki, Lossie and Leki with bub on the wa.
