We enjoyed every day of our trip, and our guides Amanda and Rachael were so knowledgeable and accommodating. Our days were packed with fun activities and true to its name, it was a very active experience.

We knew Patagonia would provide scenery like no other and this was beyond our expectations. We were lucky enough to have tremendous weather - NO Rain and barely any wind - so maybe we missed the full experience. Our guide Sebastian took care of every need and kept us on schedule. Our travel companions were a great group - tremendous nightly conversations on the day's events and the state of the world. All good. Get in shape and take this hike!

Our guides, Katie and Alex, were so incredibly friendly and encouraging to everyone on the trip. I loved talking to them and they both took great care of all of us and the nature we were surrounded by. They are hilarious and very positive people and I would take another trip with them anytime, anywhere.

New Zealand Family Vacation

We chose Active Adventures based on a colleague recommendation, and could not have been happier. After considering various options, including renting a camper, we were thrilled to have chosen Active Adventures and never looked back.
While the itinerary was well made for families with children of similar age to ours, we feel Claire and Melissa were the real pillar of our entire vacation. They did everything! We saved so much time everyday compared to if we had remotely tried to organise our trip ourselves, making it so efficient and smooth. More importantly, they had such a big smile everyday and were a hit with our three children aged 10, 9 and 6. Our children cried when leaving them, they had adopted Claire and Mel immediately. With their great games ideas and spirit, through stories and sharing with them about New Zealand, their patience with all of us, they all made it happen! We can't thank you enough Mel and Claire! Oh and Claire is a fantastic bus driver and Mel a great chef!

The trip was excellent and I felt the group experienced a large portion of the south island. The scenery was beautiful and often breathtaking. The hikes were fun and not real difficult. The guides we fun and very supportive. We were kept very busy, from early morning to night. These long days were seemed necessary in order to see the whole island.

This was my second trip with Active Adventures, my first trip was Peru in 2014 and I didn't think that would ever be equaled. The Condor trip once again far exceeded my expectations and proved to be a physical challenge with the most spectacular views of mountains and glaciers you will ever see. Top this having Cynthia as our tour guide made the trip of a lifetime.

I really enjoyed the RIMU trip! It was just challenging enough to put me out of my comfort zone and still enjoy the trip very much! The group I travelled with were great company and has made this a very memorable experience.
Our guides Vanessa and Joe were outstanding and very much the reason the trip had been so enjoyable. Their experience, knowledge, kindness and patience as they took care of us for two weeks is very much appreciated. Vanessa was carrying a 22kg backpack on the second day of the Nelson's Lakes (1000m ascend!) hike and waited while I very slowly made my way up to the top! Joe is a wonderful guide dispensing technical advice and a fantastic chef - the group has named him the Man, the Myth, the Legend so that really says a lot! Vanessa and Joe gave really good guidance on the trails, difficulty level and clothing required for all our hikes, so we were well equipped to really enjoy them.
I couldn't have picked a better trip to explore the South Island with! :)

New Zealand Biking Adventure

Our Private South Island Biking trip was very good, I saw, and biked and hiked far more on this trip than I would ever have if I had tried to do it on my own. The guides were outstanding, the biking equipment was the best I have ever experienced (I've been on a few trips with other companies in Europe). I would highly recommend active adventures.

It was a great trip, even with missing penguins because of bad weather, rest of trip was excellent with perfect weather, got lucky with weather, Didn't need rain gear or warm weather gear but better to have and not need it. Some very tough hikes but knowing I completed them was very satisfying.
Cynthia was an excellent guide, she was well organized and made trip go smoothly and always in a good mood and smiling. The variety of food was great as I enjoy trying the local cuisines. We were never hungry. Had plenty of rest between hikes and hot showers every night to refresh us.
Great trip and would highly recommend it

Sebastian was amazing, kind, funny, knowledgable and supportive. Everything was so organized and communicated to us. I was very comfortable being in 2 countries that I didn't speak the language. We had a great group and really enjoyed spending time with them.

Payagonia is the most beatiful area I have seen. Aided by almost perfect weather, we clearly saw the best and most rugged peaks. Challenging, but doable hikes, put us in the front row seats for amazing views. Cynthia, our guide, was terrific. Both extremely personable and a real pro with more experience than any other guide I have encountered. The 2 weeks were very well planned and everything went smoothly

If anyone had told us that we would be hiking with packs on our back for 3 days up and down a mountain, I would have laughed out loud! However, this actually happened in the most beautiful place in the world. With the help of our two guides, Jasmine and Kim, who encouraged, pushed and offered hot drinks (or beer) at the end of a long day, we made it.
We were constantly amazed at the level of professionalism and organization our guides and AA put into the RIMU trip.
From beautiful views of the Pacific in a bungalow on the side of a forested mountain, swimming with the seals, kayaking in Milford Sound with a hundred waterfalls coming down the mountains, seeing a glacier for the first time, mountain biking in the rain...everything was amazing with flawless execution.
The food on this trip was exceptional...the guides cooked tasty fare on the top of a mountain in a hut, making all the other hikers jealous:} The restaurants were all very good and the desserts even better. Jasmine and Kim both had specialty treats they liked to make and they were great.
The off day in Queenstown was not slow! We took a 2 hour perilous bus ride to Skippers Canyon and jet boated, had exceptional Italian food and rode the gondola. We even snuck in a Fly Fishing trip early.
Overall, if you are in good shape and willing to get up and go everyday...then this is a great trip for you.

Ultimate Galapagos Islands Adventure
4.7 from 1376 reviews
Tessa W
The Galapagos had been in my sights for a while, and this trip certainly did not disappoint. I loved the land-based itinerary Active Adventures offered, and am so glad we opted for this instead of a cruise. I loved the small, often beachfront lodgings and the opportunity to poke around the islands in the mornings and evenings outside planned activity times, and also the fact that it afforded me the opportunity to dive, since that was a highlight for me. The activities themselves were extraordinarily well organized. There was always something to do and look forward to but we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Jessica, our Galapagueña guide, was lovely, energetic and extremely knowledgeable and informative - I couldn't have asked for a better person to show us the islands. Overall, a truly spectacular trip for anyone who wants to really experience the islands rather than just see them from a boat.

A fantastic trip around the breathtaking scenery of Patagonia. Hiking the W in Torres del Paine was something I'll never forget. Great group of like minded people surrounded by magnificent landscapes and lots of good stories made for a wonderful holiday. Sebastian was an exceptional guide, so organised and helpful but always making sure everyone was enjoying themselves and having a laugh. He managed the unexpected with true professionalism! He is a credit to your company :)
