We have to correct people when they ask how was the vacation. "It wasn't a vacation; it was an adventure." The hikes were glorious and they tested us. Even though our Milford Track excursion was non-stop rain, we couldn't stop grinning. It was like a fair tale. Our guides were wonderful - knowledgeable, helpful and full of energy. We're planning on a return trip to tackle the Routeburn Track.

Great guides, particularly Rachael, our very personable guide and encyclopedia of everything flora, fauna, sheep, and food. Never a want for a bite and a room with a view with this crew. Couldn't have had a better introduction to the south island and the myriad of trails sampled left me wanting to come back and knock off the Great Walks. Hope to see Active on another tour in the near future...I'm hooked.

I enjoyed my trip with Active Adventures/New Zealand. The guides were suburb,and the accommodations were very good,often excellent.The food served was quite good also.Nick and Elysse prepared some delicious meals.
Both of the guides seemed genuinely concerned about our well-being.
Nick was an excellent driver and explained things well as we went along.
The hikes were quite enjoyable and you were given choices to do as much or as little as you chose.
I would highly recommend Active Adventures to other hikers.

This was a great trip for folks with limited travel time, mixed outdoor experience and for those who want to get exposure to the variety of the South Island. It was the perfect venue for our first visit to New Zealand. James and Laura did a fantastic job dealing with the changing weather conditions and really helped make the group experience one to remember for everyone.

My review of the Rimu trip with Active....hands down the single most amazing experience of my life. I can't possibly say enough nice, good, wonderful things about the trip. The sights, the guides, the food, the friends. Start to finish first place all the way. I would go again next week.

This trip was better than I expected; the proximity to the natural world was amazing and I was pleased that there was "people" culture and history in the towns where we stayed. So glad to be land based!

In spite of the fact that the weather was simply awful, I mean raining everyday, the trip was most enjoyable. The staff was upbeat and didn't let us get down because of the weather and we still managed to see why this country is probably the most beautiful place on the planet.

I didn't' know what to expect of my trip as I had never traveled alone, or been on an adventure hike but my guides made me feel right at home...from telling me what to wear, when to wake up and serving me all of my meals...I was quite mothered. They challenged us on some of our hikes, (as did mother nature) but were acutely aware of our capabilities and kept us safe. For every hike there was always a "plan B, C or D" depending on local conditions when we arrived. And, some of the plan B hikes were even more amazing than the original Plan A's. Although the views were varied and stunning at every turn, I really enjoyed what they taught me about the geography, history, flora and fauna of NZ. Although I could have seen many of the sights on a self guided tramping tour, I would have missed out on really learning about your beautiful country.

New Zealand's South Island is truly the adventure capital. I highly recommend this trip along with the mountain biking at Queen Charlotte Track and Queenstown if you are a bike enthusiast!

This was our first group travel and it exceeded our expectations. We were 8 guests and 2 guides. We really appreciated the New Zealand travel sensibility - very comfortable, but not too posh. Traveling with Active Adventures provided an insiders experince and especially into hiking in Mt Aspiring National Park (Siberia Valley) and exploring Milford Sound. We loved the small plane and helicopter flights and jet boating out from one of our hikes. Guides were superb and flexible in coordinating all the logistics. We highly recommend Active Adventures.

The Annapurna trek was a lovely, low-key hike though a part of Nepal that felt worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the Everest trek. I was a thrill to see the first 8,000 meter that had been summited.
