Really wanted to mention how excellent both of the guides, ken and brogan, were. They were super friendly, knowledgeable, and capable, and helped make it a really memorable trip.10/10 rating for both of them. My favorite part of the trip was the Nelson Lakes backpacking section, really beautiful to be out in scenery like that. In my opinion, it felt uncomfortable to have our guides be preparing meals and serving us food, at their insistence. Really something I am not used to, especially out backpacking and in public spaces like the huts we stayed in. Would vastly have preferred to have some form of (optional) group cooking for those nights.

This trip was just a half tour for us - and in fairness many things had been changed due to the crazy rain the North was getting. It was great to see that part of NZ though!

Active runs this trip superbly. First off, the guides are friendly, supremely knowledgeable, flexible, and professional. I can't imagine this trip without them. This trip specifically exposes you to magnificent adventures throughout the South Island and allows you to sit back and enjoy the ride as you travel from hike to hike and adventure to stunning views. Absolutely recommend!

Emma and Clare were the best guides I have had. Wonderful energy and managed different abilities/interests really well. They were organized and very well prepared. Emma was a master at prepping our food. She took such good care of us. Clare was unstoppable and always upbeat. She made everything fun. Both were wonderful role models for my 15 yo daughter. I had her lift one of their packs during the multi day angelus circuit hike - so heavy! I have guided myselfOutward Bound) and taken many trips with other guides. These two are standouts. You are lucky to have them.
