I've wanted to visit NZ for 20 years and Active Adventures made sure it was as wonderful as possible when I finally got there. Our guides Ken and Emma were fun, knowledgeable, ready to answer any questions, and expert at choosing the best hikes for the weather and our group - and not to forget Emma being a phenomenal cook! They pushed us when needed and celebrated our accomplishments, all the while giving us a lot of insight in NZ life and nature. The trip ran like a well-oiled machine, and all I had to do was bring my hiking shoes and a thirst for an adventure. Can't thank enough for the amazing trip!

My overall experience of the 14 day Kiwi trip far exceeded my expectations. The attention and care of our guides Emma and Ken was outstanding. We were nurtured with wonderfully varied meals during the trip and educated about so many aspects of New Zealand. These included fauna, wildlife, history and ecology.
Our guides were patient, encouraging, and most striking, joyful and warm. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and I am deeply grateful.

I had the most wonderful time on the North Island adventure. The country, the people, the travel guides could not have been more perfect for my vacation of a lifetime. It was all well planned and executed. I felt well looked after and learned a lot about the culture and what is important to "Kiwi's"

New Zealand's south island is a land of many different terrains. From flat fields, to undulating hikes and glorious mountains and glaciers, the south island has it all. Another Active Adventure that met all my expectations in experiencing New Zealand at it's best.

The New Zealand trip was a good experience. There was more driving from area to area than I had expected, but I don't think think there is another way to see the many different areas of the country. That being said, the travel accommodations were comfortable, and I felt very safe while traveling in the bus

This was definitely a trip of a lifetime! My husband and I saved up for this and it was worth every penny. The trip offered a great variety of activities, always with options for personal levels of challenge. We loved the hikes, and also the biking, kayaking, cruises and shopping opportunities. Our guides, Emma and Holly, were attentive, knowledgeable, fun-loving, and kind. The food was the best (thanks Emma)! My biggest accomplishment was completing the 3 day backpacking trip up some very steep terrain with a full pack. Our guides were so encouraging and helpful to me, and I eventually reached the top! The scenery was beautiful wherever we went. New Zealand is a must see, and Active Adventures is the way to get you there. I can't recommend it enough!
