This tour has it all from hiking to an amazing overflight of valleys to jet boating to a relaxing cruise through Milford Sound. Every day was something new and exciting but yet we also had time to absorb the awesomeness all around us at each activity. Active Adventures are true NZ experts and it shows on this trip from knowledgeable guides to secret little trails and the best areas to do a leg stretch when we had longer drives to dynamite food at every meal!

Exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Luke and Emma were a great and supportive team the whole way through. Luke's driving skills were top notch, and Emma provided great chef skills that had our mouths watering.

Patagonia is absolutely amazing and Active Adventures planned a stunning trip so that we could move through Chile and Argentina easily and efficiently. This was our first trip with a tour company and we often wondered how long it would have taken us to plan everything and how many hurdles we would have hit if we had not utilized a tour company. We had all the opportunities we could have hoped for to see the highlights of the region as well as many things that we would have missed had Active Adventures not had access. The guides were fantastic and had lots of local knowledge. Jessica, our overall trip guide, was amazing. She was friendly, kind, knowledgeable, kept us all on track, offered solutions to problems, and interpreted the language when we often could not. We loved not having to plan anything...we put our trust in Active Adventures and that allowed us to focus on the scenery, the food, the people, the hiking, and the enjoyment.

We had a wonderful trip on the South Island. Our guides, Holly and Max were fun and took great care of us. Each hike was better than the previous one. It felt like a best hits tour. Max fed us well and Holly got us to our destinations safely. We all had fun together.
We choose the option to go to the huts. I was a bit worried about how much food they would have us carry but it turned out to be minimal. The huts were a good experience and helped the group bond. Snow kept us from reaching the Angelos hut but the alternate Bushline hut was fun and we saw the most amazing rainbow.
Along the way, Holly told Maori myth stories and info about the history, geology, fauna and flora of New Zealand.

Memorable beyond words! Originally scheduled for November 2020, I couldn't wait for this adventure to begin. From start to end, Active Adventures was spectacular. Holly & Max were incredible guides, chefs, logisitcs, histroy and a few shenanigans thrown in. The ability to balance 11 different personalities with a smile with the long days! As Holly would say, "New Zeland, stop it!"
