This was truly a trip of a lifetime!! The views were amazing and we were blessed with terrific weather. I feel so accomplished by what I was able to achieve and loved the feeling of really being in the middle of nowhere.

So, we are slogging down from Nelson Lakes, along the ridge of....well....almost a crater. Wind coming off Antartica trying to blow us over -- and knocking Stephanie off her feet. But that's ok. Because the views are spectacular, we walk through 3 climate zones, and the scree gives way to lush grasses, hiding birds. We hear the birds. Then we cross a post-glacier bowl, and we drop down onto the overlook for the greenest valley ever seen. We sit miles away, and above. Lunch over all this.
Active had taken us swimming with seals, tasting exquisite wine in a vineyard, and meandering through a rainforest.
As I sat down for lunch on that overlook I heard myself saying, to no one in particular "I NEVER would have thought of this".
Hey, thanks, Active!

You know a trip has been successful when you'd rather lose your passport than get on the plane home. The hike on the Lares Trail was some of the most spectacular scenery I have seen in my life. We camped out in the school yard of a local Quechua village and stopped along the path to pass out school supplies to kids. It felt like an actual introduction to Peruvian culture instead of typical tourism. The trek into the Amazon was a lot more removed from reality, but the rest of the trip was so amazing, that was almost irrelevant. Probably the most important aspect of the experience was our guide, Zacarias. He was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and great at explaining, but he was also incredibly personable, fun, and wonderful to be around. We were also very fortunate to have two professional cameramen with us, Alex and Leo, that really helped pull the group together and make it an incredible experience. The only problem I see with this trip was liking it so much I want to move there...

I could not be happier with the quality of the trip. The guides, Katie and Alex were both excellent. Smart, funny, good communicators and problem solvers. They knew what we needed before we did! This was the best trip I had ever taken. Active surpassed our trip expectations. I would definitely go on another Active trip although it's hard to believe it could be better than NZ. The scenery, the people, and most of all, our guides, made it very special.

Ken and Elder are the best. Not only did we see great sights that most tours would bypass, they are gourmet cooks. We hike'd Robert Ridge. It is 22 km. Most of it was above tree line. John

Before coming to New Zealand, friends told me how beautiful the country is. After a week on the TUI trip, I can state emphatically that words alone cannot describe what I saw. Not only is the country unbelievably beautiful, the residents are welcoming and friendly. Our guides were terrific and made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived and throughout the entire trip. If we ever return to New Zealand, we plan to take a different trip with Active Adventures.

Wow, this trip exceeded my expectations! From the quick bonding between my fellow adventurers and me to the SUPERB tour guides, Active Adventures really hit the ball out of the park. It was amazing to be in the middle of such beauty. Thank you Vanessa and Alex for cheering us on, making everything run so smoothly, and for just being so amazing with maintaining the ideal experience. Great driving and tasting cooking, by the way. Many thanks from Texas!

Right off the bat, we knew we were some place special, a veritable Garden of Eden. Our Tui trip had it all - challenging hikes that were far off the beaten path, mountain biking, kayaking Milford Sound, jetboating, a backcountry trip, awesome sunsets. Great guides, excellent food and awesome new friends helped make the trip everything we had hoped.

Terrific locations with terrific guide! Every segment of the trip was very well thought out and the guide could not have been better in positively responding to ever changing (but normal) situations.

The Rimu trip around the South Island of New Zealand was an awesome feast of nature's never-ending beautiful sights for my eyes, a healing balm for my soul and an exciting action-packed challenge for my body (especially the 3-day backpacking trip). The guides, Kim and Nick...... were the icing on the cake...... down to earth, personable , knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating to ALL our needs. The trip was rejuvenating and great...the best!
