This was a return trip to NZ for myself (aged 52 - having visited in the 1990s) but 1st time for my 3 sons (aged 20, 19 and 16).
Kaleb and Sally were excellent guides and hosts for the trip - everything was well prepared (itineraries, food, accommodation etc) and always served with a smile, a good sense of humour, loads of local knowledge, sensitivity for the environment and a keen eye for safety (e.g responding to adverse weather and modifying the itinerary as needed).
Winter was a great time to visit - it felt as though we mad much of NZ to ourselves (especially on the overnight hikes) - also the snow added beautifully to the landscape and provided a skiing opportunity at Coronet Peak in Queenstown.
The published itinerary was accurate. The standard of accommodation exceeded my expectations and our "near exclusive" use of the Welcome Flat Hut in the Copland Valley (with snow topped mountains, star studded night sky and steaming natural pools) was incredible.
The 14 day itinerary allowed us to explore much of the South Island; plenty of walks, amazing nature and great company.
Thank you to Kaleb, Sally and the team.

I have nothing but great things to say about my hiking, biking, rafting, and kayaking adventures in Austria under the superb leadership of my guides, Peter and Ronnie. These gentlemen are true professionals: it was clear throughout the trip that their only concerns rested in the enjoyment and safety of their clients. Their attention to detail and genuine concern for us was unsurpassed. When I had problems handling my e-bike, Peter made a special trip, after a long day, to Salzburg to get me a new bike. Meanwhile, Ronnie went out of his way to take me to a pharmacy to obtain bandages and antiseptic. I was, and remain, extremely impressed by their concern and kindness. I would definitely seek them out in future trips, and I definitely recommend them to anyone seeking pleasurable and fulfilling adventures. Thanks, Peter. Thanks, Ronnie. You made this trip so special for me, for my wife, and for all the others in our group!

Our trip with Peter and Ronnie was great from the very start. The ease of the trip details were seamless. Our only effort was in the true adventure of the trip. Hiking, biking, and kayaking. I was amazed at the genuine attention they gave us. Nothing was ever brushed aside, whether it was the right kind of band aid or advice on technical maneuvering on the bike. We were lucky that our group all got along wonderfully and this spirit carried us through the entire adventure. The accommodations, the meals, the Michelin Star breakfast ( twice) were all first class. Also, when there was a glitch they worked through it with such grace and professionalism. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone that wants to experience Austria in a unique and healthy way.

Our family took this vacation to experience the Alps and be outdoors as much as possible. Active Adventures and our two tour guides delivered just that. Peter and Ronnie were spectacular tour guides and entertaining, attentive hosts. They tailored activities to meet each of our needs, with more challenges for those that wanted it. We cycled over 60 miles between villages, hiked up and down a mountain, rafted the Salzach river, and kayaked in the beautiful Hallstatt lake. We can't even choose what our favorite highlight was, as we all agree there are too many. I can't recommend this tour or these two guides enough—you won't forget this amazing experience.

Fantastic trip with amazing guides and new friends in the Galapagos! Well thought out itinerary that let us see the best of wildlife and the various islands. Thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend time at the various islands and having our agenda set to maximize our time on all of them. The guides were knowledgeable, patient, and worked to make sure the experience was tailored for each individual.
