New Zealand was amazing and stupendously beautiful! The Tui trip enabled us to see some very remote parts of NZ, and experience the naturalistic beauty up close through our hiking and kayaking, and even during the bus travel between stops. The trip was paced very well and was a good balance between activities and down time. The guides made it easy to relax and enjoy what the South Island had to offer.

The hikes were amazingly beautiful! After reaching an incredibly dramatic viewpoint, I would think, "This is the highpoint of the trip! There can't possibly be anything more breathtaking than this!" But I was wrong. Each hike brought new and splendid vistas beyond my imagination.

Our Rimu trip to the South Island was an experience to treasure. Being a nature lover - I felt that we were immearsed in grand beauty much of the trip. We enjoyed a pleasant balance of activity and restoration - to experience the maximum enjoyment that the South Island has to offer. I thoroughly enjoyed our guides and had a positive experience meeting people whom I would not be likely to cross paths with. I would happily book another Active Adventures trip.

Special thanks to our 3 guides, who were fantastic!!! They made the trip so enjoyable. Anything I requested was attended to right away and with a smile. They were all good natured, really fun, and hardworking. Very capable..... I always felt safe and well looked after.
Special thanks to Elly for all the work she did trying to track down my luggage.
The bikes were excellent......in good repair and high quality. Van was great and Nick was an excellent and courteous driver. Again, always felt safe. Loved the Braemar Sheep Station and having the guides cook for us. Most of the accommodation was really good. As I expected. there was quite a variation depending on where we were. No complaints. Will definitely recommend AA to friends. Thanks for the wonderful vacation.

Positives were the two wonderfully knowledgeable guides, Amanda and Rachel; the constant fresh fruit; the beautiful roadside "weeds'"; the stunning hikes and equally stunning rivers from babbling trickles to full blown rivers, and almost as good as the overall scenery was getting to experience a culture of courtesy everywhere we went. And although I did not like the hours spent traveling from activity to activity, it is probably the only way to cover all that we experienced within a short week's time.

I have seen the pictures, read the articles and looked at the maps. When I actually stood at the miradors (scenic vistas) and saw with my own eyes....well no words, no picture, no map can describe the utterly spectacular grandeur of this land.

The guides were superb, the sights were fantastic...lots of fruits and snacks which was great! We did spend more time than we expected on the buss traveling between sights. Really enjoyed the mountain biking and would liked to have had option to do more. Not sure why we had day off in Queenstown in the Middle of the trip, it was not strenuous that required a rest day. Would have liked a contiguous trip with added day of activity (mountain biking?)

Active Adventures provided a venue that allowed us to enjoy the best scenery, have challenging hikes and cycling experiences, enjoy a variety of accommodations along with great food and wine. The Braemer Station provided a unique experience. The guides were flexible but kept us on track.

My Tui trip was one of the best travel adventures I've ever experienced. New Zealand has unimaginable beauty that must be appreciated with your own eyes. Active Adventures did a great job in selecting a variety of majestic sites, as well as very fine lodging accommodations. Our guides were excellent! Nick, Tess and later Katie, took great care of our meals, transportation, safety and other adulting details. Because of their efforts, we were able to be like kids on a grand field trip, waking each day with only an itinerary of adventure to accomplish. They were also very knowledgeable, friendly and fun to be around. My only regret is not being able to visit longer. Thank you!

We were traveling as a family of 5 and each one of us had a remarkable time. The knowledge of the group leaders was fantastic. The food and accommodations were great. We relaxed on the bus, walked, kayaked, walked, biked, walked, and walked in total awe at every turn. We loved it!

There is no way we could have explored so much of the South Island without the great guidance of the Active Adventure team they took all the stress away of finding lodging , eating , driving etc and making sure we experienced all the best locations for hiking, biking and kayaking that we could possibly do it was truly a trip of a lifetime the best ever!!
