Classic South Island Adventure, January 1970
4.6 Stars (56 reviews)
It was a very very enjoyable experience not just because i had my younger daughter with me but because it was so well organized by Active Adventures. The Patagonian lakes ( and fiords, waterfalls, volcanos, towns etc) surpassed my expectations. And our main tour guide, Mayra, was just terrific & catered patiently to everyone's needs, especially mine as i "inched" my way up a couple of climbs. And her assistants, especially Richard, were very likeable and fun. I have already recommended your web site to several neighbors younger and more fit than i. On our way back to Bariloche from Chile, I recall seeing another tour guide with a bullhorn & thanked my lucky stars for being part of Mayra's group. Thank you all for this trip. Jock Wright

It was everything we wished for and more. All of the activities were amazing. The food and accommodations were amazing. The guides were very smart, athletic and took good care of us and made us feel safe.

Having travelled with Active before we had high expectations but you exceeded them. We went to see the unique wildlife and weren’t disappointed. Our lead guide Pepo was informative, amusing and very attentive to our safety and comfort. I can’t imagine a better guide but his support staff was great in making our trip seamless and smooth. Accommodations and food was excellent and transfers easy, even the boat rides between islands. It is hard to pick a highlight because each day was a highlight. I would definitely recommend this trip. The days were busy but not overly strenuous.

I originally booked my trip with Active Adventures because I was traveling on my own and wanted to be part of a group of like-minded travelers. I have used several other companies in the past (with my husband, my mother, and by myself) and this was by far my favorite.
Our group was on the smaller side, which made for lots of room on the bus and easier logistics than larger groups that I have been a part of. Our guides, Claire and Holly were absolutely amazing! Seriously, I can't say enough good things about them. Holly made us the most delicious meals. After a few days, she even remembered what kind of tea I preferred and always had it ready. She was also always cheery and a delight to be around. Claire was a wealth of information about the places we visited. She also rescued me on several occasions when I was not as organized as I could be. She got my Ipad back when I accidentally left it at one of the hotels, she lent me her hiking poles when I forgot my own on the bus, and even lent me her jandels when I didn't have mine available. They worked together seamlessly, clearly love what they do, and fostered a relaxed and fun atmosphere that helped us all to bond and enjoy the trip. And also, they played great music on the bus (including the Opo the Dolphin song, which will now be with me forever).
I thought the planned hikes and other activities were top-notch. On almost all of the hikes, it was just one beautiful view after another. It was also interesting to learn about the plants and animals around us. I appreciated that most of the hikes were spaced with other activities in between. I especially enjoyed the mountain biking, the boat day, and sand surfing.
Overall, I am a happy camper and will use Active Adventures when I come back to New Zealand and possibly for other destinations as well.

This trip far exceeded my expectations. So well organized, it all ran like clockwork. The meals were sensational, especially the ones prepared by our guides Katie and Emily. Katie’s driving skills are exceptional!
We had varied accommodations but all were amazing.
I especially love the personal feeling by having such a small group. We all seemed to bond on the first day.
Memories to last a lifetime.
