I absolutely loved the 10-day South Island Adventure that included fantastic hikes in the Nelson Lakes National Park and Punakaiki Rainforest, a lovely visit to the Forest Estate Winey where we savoured local wines and culinary delights, mountain biking, superb kayaking in the stunningly beautiful Okarito Lagoon, and in my case heli-hiking in the Franz Josef Glacier which was amazing. Our guides, Elize and Brogan, were fantastic, full of energy, and enthusiasm, ensuring every detail of our trip was taken care of. The home-cooked meals were excellent, the accommodation was first class, and the views on this journey were stunningly beautiful. I highly recommend this trip.

Booking a trip like this has been on our minds for a long time, and the Active group made it so much better than we thought it would be. We saw more of the South Island than we could have on our own, and our 2 guides were wonderful in explaining the flora and fauna, and history, of each destination and each hike. Both guides were genuine and kind, and made the hikeseven the harder ones), fun.

What a fantastic trip. Even though the weather did not cooperate and we did not get to do some of the mountain tracks, the trip was fantastic. Our guides (Brogan and Elize +) were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and had just what they needed. I would definitely do another trip with Active.

No doubt this is a top destination on the "bucket-list" so many of carry around in our heads, but the Active Adventures team made this a truly outstanding experience. Our very patient Trip Leader Gustavo saw to it that we were informed ("OK, Chicos!), prepared, and well-fed before heading out for each day's adventure. The Torres and El Chalten guides clearly love what they do and where they get to work, and shared that with us. Two weeks in Patagonia got away too soon!

Totally loved this trip. It was a great combination of tough backpacking for the first week and more relaxed day hikes on the second week so it was a great blend. The additional activities of the kayak, walking on the glacier and the bike ride were truly awesome. Guides were great, friendly and worked with us all as there were different levels of fitness on our team. The most surprising item for me was the food....both in the hostels and the Cafe's in town. Food in this part of the world is amazing and the choices of the guides were all excellent. Weather for us was not the best, but thats also a part of the adventure. Its a great part of the world to hike and the nature is amazing. I would highly recommend Active as your trek guides.
