Kiwi is ideal if your goal is to get an overview of the South Island. I loved the rain forest and mountain hikes. The winery & fiord kayaking was also fun. The trip had sufficient variety of activities that it should appeal to anyone with reasonably good health. After Kiwi, I am looking forward to doing some of South Island Great Hikes on a future trip. Active Adventures did a great job structuring the days for maximum activity. Our trip was also blessed with incredible weather.

Active Adventures fit several weeks worth of activities in one. It was quite the adventure and not a moment was wasted. Our guides
Lauren and Lianna were experienced beyond their years and were so much fun!

This trip was an important milestone in my life because I learned that I'm much tougher and in better shape than I thought I was. I won't sugar coat this---it's a physically and mentally challenging journey, but Mel and Shree couldn't have done a better job motivating us, caring about us, guiding us, and encouraging us. The trip in its entirety was very well-planned and well-executed, and the little perks (gumdrop and cookie breaks) were fantastic. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention how wonderful the porters were. I highly recommend this trip and Active Adventures and look forward to my next adventure.

We had been looking forward to this trip for several years and we're not disappointed one tiny bit. It was a dream come true, from beginning to the end. Daniel and Irene were our guides and I feel so fortunate. Daniel was a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of New Zealand including some wonderful folklore story telling on the bus traveling from place to place. Irene's bubbly personality, cooking skills and eagerness to help were really appreciated. They really took care of us and were always smiling and making sure everyone was having a good time. I've already made "Pavlova" twice! Thanks Irene for your grandma's baking tips.
The Tui trip took us to so many beautiful places. The hiking, biking, jet boating, scenic flight, excellent guides, yummy food, laughter and fun filled days all shared with new friends made for a trip of a lifetime. Don't think twice about taking this trip with Active Adventure.Do it, you won't be sorry! Thank you! (side note..our trip ended coincidently the day New Zealand closed its borders because of the coronavirus.. I hope you are all safe and stay well)

Everything about the trip was great. The itinerary, the guides, the logistics, and our fellow travelers were all memorable. I'm so glad we chose to stay on the islands rather than on-board a ship. It allowed us to better experience the rhythm of life on the islands, as well as providing more time to explore on our own.

This was my first trip with AA and I throughly enjoyed it. I loved the fact that all our meals were included! Mayra was great at organizing our daily life, so organized! I felt all the extra guides and van drivers were so pleasant and organized as well. I would take another trip with AA, however not if it were more strenuous than this one.
