The trip was unbelievable. The guides were awesome, very knowledgeable and insightful. The food and accommodation selections were perfect for what we were doing. I will say the trip is very frontloaded in terms of the more challenging activities - I wish we could've had one more long hike towards the backend of the trip. With that being said, the trip does leave you feeling relaxed without anything strenuous towards the end.

This was my second trip with Active in New Zealand- and maybe because it was summertime and the weather was great or just that the itinerary was well designed, or that my group leaders and co-travelers were awesome, but I had an amazing time!

I took my son here, for his 21st birthday. Patagonia has been on our bucket list, for a long time. This is our third trip with Active Adventures and they went beyond our expectations. All of our needs were met. We had fantastic guides. We saw the most spectacular mountains, wildlife, glaciers, caves,...

Active Adventures and our guide Sebastian did everything possible to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. All the details were incredibly well organized and a complicated itinerary went off without a hitch. Our family really enjoyed the entire experience.

What a great way to experience the South Island without having to think about or plan any logistics especially driving on the 'wrong' side of the road!

New Zealand Family Vacation

We had to postpone our trip by one year due to work commitments, and it was 100% worth waiting for. Everyone in our family (including 11 year old son and 12 year old daughter) had an amazing time. Our son said it was the best trip he has ever taken -- beating out a previous once in a lifetime vacation in Fiji. Of particular note were our two guides (Dan S. and Celia) who took incredibly good care of every detail of the trip and were a treasure trove of wonderful stories and facts about each of our stops. They also really helped out with figuring out activities for us to do during our days off in Queenstown and were really flexible in arranging an easier hike for my daughter who had a sore ankle. We will remember this always and hope to do a similar trip in the future. Highly recommended to anyone with active kids looking for a perfect family trip.

The Rimu trip we took in Dec. 2015 had well exceeded our expectations.
1. Our tour guiders, Sarah and G. T. took very good care of everyone, from morning breakfasts, uploading/download luggage, daily trips guiding, to evening dinners, they are very kind and sincere, warm, patient and full of fun.
G.T. is a great driver. very alert and focused on the road, very informative. We learned a lot about/enjoyed a lot more of New Zealand by listening to his humorous introduction. He was always very energetic, we were awed by his ability to do the driving, tour guiding/hiking and cooking/cleaning all together everyday for almost two weeks.
Sarah always took our best interests as her top priority. She would guard us closely on those hiking and biking trips to ensure everyone is safe and happy. Often after a long day trip when everyone is tired/wet/muddy (so was Sarah), she would start cooking for us right away once we checked into our accommodation, make sure to let our group to take showers/refreshments first. There was one evening, she was too tired of eating after cooking dinner for us, I was very touched by her kindness and work ethic (and also felt guilty of letting her to shoulder so much).
G.T and Sarah are great assets of Active Adventure. Because Active has such excellent tour guiders, we take them as our friends in New Zealand now, so we are looking forward to coming back to New Zealand in the near future and also considering to sign on other Active's trips, for example, Patagonia.
2. The itinerary is very good, we almost covered entire S. Island. New Zealand is such a beautiful place, its lakes, sounds, forests, mountains, animals and plants had left great impression on us, specially its people, always warm and friendly.
3. The trip arrangements were well thought, the operation was efficient and effective. The level of activities fitted very well with our group's physical strength . We loved both challenges and leisure time.
Thank you very much for sharing with us your beautiful country and best wishes to Active Advantage.
