This trip was the most amazing time! To see the beauty of the South Island and really see it in slow motion via hikes and kayaking trips was incredible. We enjoyed our guides and the members of our tour. We loved the trip.

This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime! The attention to detail, the concern for the traveler and the love of their land was more than evident all through the trip. Every venue was beautiful, and every experience was first rate. I could not be happier with Active and their staff.

This was an awesome trip! Sebatian was absolutely fabulous and really made the trip memorable. He paid attention to each of us, and made sure that we all got something special along the way that he knew was meaningful. That kind of attention and thoughtfulness is really what made this trip special. I will recommend the Condor trip to anyone intrepid enough to go to the end of the world!

How can I love New Zealand and Rimu? Let me tell you the ways.... -Fabulous food and Kate and GT were not only GREAT cooks, but genuinely outstanding people! We were totally spoiled with fresh everything and mouth watering to die for specialties. -National Parks were a treasure of beauty and history -Efforts were celebrated and encouraged! -Weather was 90%, but who can plan that right??? (summit day didn't win any awards) but certainly better than the Frigid Vortex back home ;-) -We lucked out with a terrific assembly of fellow Rimu "trampers" who were up for nearly anything (that is except for the suggested rain tramp at Franz Josef....) -If you have the chance to do the heli-hike, DO IT!! While we didn't get to the Franz Josef glacier, we were able to do a glacier landing at Milford Sound and it was spectacular! -Thanks to everyone at Active New Zealand for the planning, execution, and spirit that is truly Kiwi!

It was the most exciting and exhilarating adventure of my life. Daniel was the BOMB as we say it here in Barbados. He thought of everything, and was always surprising us with treats and excellent food. Around every corner was always another post card panorama, and the hikes were to die for. I would say that New Zealand and Active together, are an unbeatable combination. I so look forward to coming back to do the 2 week Rimu, and to experience the wonders of the most beautiful country I have ever visited. Until then, keep up the Kiwi spirit of adventure.

My husband and I had a fabulous time on the Tui trip. Cassie and Natalie were amazing guides and made the trip extra special. The places we visited were absolutely gorgeous and we really lucked out with the weather. The highlight of the trip was the night spent in Siberia Valley and hike to Lake Crucible.

With only seven days to see the South Island the Tui trip was perfect! Our guide, Ken, was wonderful and could not have done more to make the trip exciting and enjoyable for our group. The week was perfectly planned and orchestrated. Thank you Active Adventures NZ!

There was a lot of driving given the amount of the South Island we covered in two weeks but the rhythms of the days were always enjoyable. Katie and Alex, our guides, always arranged stops for coffee, photo ops, and occasionally, shopping making the long drives pleasant. The accommodations were always comfortable and occasionally quite spectacular. ( One night I enjoyed an ocean view!). I loved having 14 days to move - to hike or to bike or to kayak and the scenery New Zealand provides is beyond believable. Katie and Alex were fantastic. I felt they were my friends and well as my guides by the trip's end. I have one criticism. When we arrived at the sheep herder's place, we were told to tackle the issue of room assignments among ourselves. This caused some upset for a brief time but, fortunately, we were all mature enough to work it out gracefully. I suggest having the travelers pull straws. My only regret is that I did not discover New Zealand when I was younger!

Before arriving in NZ I wasn't sure what to expect, but was always excited and looking forward to it. Coming from a small country in the Caribbean this trip lived up to and exceeded my expectations. It was well organized and the country itself is awe inspiring, the areas that we visited are like nature's art room.

A trip to New Zealand has been on my list forever so I obviously had high expectations. I came home having had them met and even more. At every step along the way I received lots of useful information and felt the enthusiasm of the staff. And our guides, with whom I had the most contact, were wonderful, helping to make this a most memorable trip!

I know it is a song title, but how else to describe a trip that includes wonderful landscapes, daily adventures, delicious food, culture and information, all with the two greatest tour guides ever (and in many cases, guardian angels)?
