"What a great way to celebrate my 66th birthday -- hiking and kayaking the South Island with 13 of my new best friends. I did things that I've never done before and had a wonderful time along the way. Thanks to Ange and Nic and all the ACTIVE NEW ZEALAND staff... the trip exceeded my expectations."
