Kimbo and Amanda were outstanding!!! Many thanks for taking care of my dietary request. Taking another trip with Kimbo and Amanda is a no-brainer.

The Rimu trip exceeded my expectations. All the activities, guides, and accommodations were amazing. It was a great opportunity to spend time with my mom and see so much. Even long travel days were broken up nicely with hikes. Overall amazing trip... Now I'm looking at Active Adventure trips is South America.

Patagonia is an incredibly beautiful corner of the world in which the visitor is treated to an amazing vista every hour. Active Adventures has created an itinerary for that experience. Cynthia, our trip leader, meticulously organized our trip. Our local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and informative. All spoke flawless English.

Amazing trip; couldn't have been more perfect. We loved the sights and the amazing flora and fauna of the Galapagos of course, but what set this trip apart was our amazing guides, especially Pablo, and getting to stay on the islands. Pablo was a wealth of knowledge not only about the science, ecology, and behavior of the various endemic species we saw, but also about the impact of the human element, introduced species, and climate. His passion for the islands was incredible. He made this the trip of a lifetime for all of us, but especially our very inquisitive 11 year old son. The places we stayed were great, and it was a privilege to get to stay on the islands - there is much more to be seen this way.

New Zealand is a beautiful and wonderful place. We couldn't have found all the terrific places we saw and visited on our own. Part of what made the trip so successful was the great guides, James and Rachael; a great, well matched group to travel with; and perfect weather.

Was a wonderful trip and exactly what I was looking for. One day into the trip confirmed that I picked the right group. The trip leaders kept things moving at a nice pace fast pace. Very little down time. It was wonderful having the driving and organizing in someone else's hands.

What can I say, words can not express enough the fun that Richard and I have just had on the Rimu South Island trip. This was our first (and hopefully not our last) Active Adventures tour. From the moment we were met at the airport on day 1 all aspects of our Rimu trip were immense. Our guides Andy and Mel were great hosts with their knowledge and enthusiasm, their attention to detail in a relaxed enjoyable manner, their passionate and infectious approach to having a great time, provision of snacks, picnics and fantastic evening meals all at perfect spots and even Mel’s ability to make a cheesecake at 1650m at Angelus Hut during our 3 day hike was all fab. Added to that, no walk was ever too rushed. Mel was happy to chat away with me middle of the first week when I was at the back due to my legs still recovering from the decent of Muller Ridge on day 2. And with my fear of heights, Andy was brilliant in guiding me across the rocky parts of Roberts Ridge during our 3 day hike. Added to that, our small group of 8 from Scotland, USA and Australia all of similar ability added to the enjoyment. With plenty of fun along the way hiking, cycling, kayaking and snorkeling all with the sun shining made the places we visited very special and hopefully we will be back soon to experience more.

Go with Active Adventures NZ, you won't be sorry. There are so many positive things that I can say that I don't know where to begin.
The size of the tour group was ideal. The guides were extremely helpful and fun too! Diggity Dave and Tess were just great. Dave was an excellent driver and we put all our trust in his driving expertise. He was a great story teller too! Tess was so very caring and a great healthful cook always keeping our tummies full. Most of all I loved the variety of things that we did, places that we stayed. Yes, some weren't the greatest but often there weren't a lot of choices in the area but the company made up for the less desirables places by having luxury places in Queenstown. I especially loved the overnight on the boat in Doubtful Sound but wish we had upgraded our room as the rooms were exceedly small for 4 people, but then again it was for only 1 night. It was a fantastic trip and we would do an Active Adventure trip again!

Enjoyable trip with good mix of activities on a realistic time schedule. Our guide (Jessica) was excellent. She was friendly, very knowledgeable, and offered a good variety of options many days. We saw all that was advertised and more. Jessica was excellent at making sure all 11 of us were having a great time while being able to coordinate and accommodate for ages 25-80. I highly recommend this trip.

We loved our trip to the South Island of New Zealand. The natural beauty took my breath away and the guides, Rachel and James, were beyond professional.

I was expecting an outdoor experience and the chance to see much of South Island. This trip turned out to be much, much more. As I sit back and think about the trip, review my photographs and trip log, each day I relieve the experiences. This trip was much, much more than I had ever expected. It was well beyond my high expectations. I was interdicted to the beauty of New Zealand. I would pack my bag and leave tomorrow to do the trip again. The memories, experiences, friendships will be with me for a lifetime. Okay, there was great scenery, great experiences, but all this was the result of Katie and Kirsten. These two women were the best guides I have even seen anywhere!

Had a wonderful time. Liona, Ken and Laura were brilliant. The food was extremely good considering Laura was cooking for 17! Really enjoyed the sand boarding and scuba diving. The group was large which meant that it was a tight squeeze in the van but it didn't detract from our enjoyment. Had already completed the Rimu and glad that the North Island had some different activities. Would highly recommend Active Adventures having completed 4 trips and they were all excellent.

This is our second trip with Active Adventures (we did the Rimu in February 2007) and we couldn't be happier with the guides, activities, food, and our fellow travelers. Lina, Ken and Laura took care of all our needs so that we could relax and enjoy the trip.

Had a wonderful time. The guides, Jasmine and Alex were great, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. All the activities were well organised and enjoyable. This is my third trip with Active Adventures and their trips are always very well organised and great fun. The South Island is stunningly beautiful with lakes and mountains throughout; my favourite place to visit so far. Would highly recommend.

This is our second trip with Active Adventures. Our last trip was Rimu on the South Island, 10 years ago. We were so enchanted by our experience on the South Island that we wanted to do a second one at the North Island. We were hoping that the Kauri trip would be as good as the Rimu on the South Island, but it proved to be even better!!
