Our guides, Lisa and Koru, were excellent and made the trip special. They enthusiastically adapted the itinerary to the weather (no use strenuously hiking for a view of the clouds!), actively engaged all members of our group, provided safe transport through wickedly winding roads, and served excellent and varied meals catering too all dietary needs. NZ has amazing scenery and culture, but Lisa and Koru made it special.

Our guides met us and off we went in our magic bus and we were not disappointed. The scenery was amazing, the food great and our other group members all enjoyed our adventures. The guides really know the country and shared the culture all along the way. We would travel with Active Adventure again.

This was a bucket list trip and it did not disappoint. We selected option B because we did not want to carry big packs or sleep in refugios. We have done that several times and did not need to repeat. The option B provided great hikes and wonderful views. Our gide were informative and fun to be with. It was a great trip.

Great trip! Doubtful Sound overnight boat cruise and Key Summit (Routeburn Track) were highlights. Guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and handled all of the logistics with ease.

This was by far the biggest trip of my life, and it was more fun than I could have imagined. The eight days were packed with varied experiences and settings, which were wonderful. The leaders--Ken and Emma--made all the difference though. Their enthusiasm and care of their group were obvious. Unforgettable!

My experience with Active Adventures was perfect. We had a small group in New Zealand with 2 of the best guides, Ken and Emma. They were fun, organized, knowledgeable, thoughtful and friendly. Emma was a fabulous cook and Ken drove superbly on the challenging roads. I liked the mixture of accommodations and the mix of restaurants or eating in family style. I believe this was the very best way to experience the spectacular country and people of New Zealand.

This trip far exceeded my expectations and those expectations were quite high. Without a doubt, the guides were the best part. They were knowledgeable, kind, very considerate, encouraging and an extraordinary team.
New Zealand, itself, was extraordinary, and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. a great selection of exceptional sites was chosen and very doable and challenging routes were selected. Often times a turn to the left to the right what do you need to save you that resulted in a great cast! What beauty.
All details were very effectively integrated , and we, the guests, or well taken care of, and were the center of our guides. Focus.
For me, personally, it may be a life-changing experience. I wanted a challenging and exciting adventure. I certainly got one! The helicopter ride to the top of Franz Josef glacier May have been the most exciting part. I never thought I would be in a location like that. You only see that in movies.
But, making it through some of the challenging routes was also exciting and reassuring. I felt certain that what was chosen by the active adventure staff with some thing I could manage, and that was true.
This was absolutely the best!!
