Our trip exceeded expectations. First of all, New Zealand is a beautiful country and the people welcoming and kind. The weather was great as well with only 3 days having any sort of rain. Specific to our Active Adventures tour, our guides Pepper and Hailey were exceptional. They were skilled in their respective roles in guiding, understanding, listening, informing and driving. We all bonded with them on the first day! Five out of five stars! Our tour bus was comfortable and safe. The food was perfect. I'm a picky eater but somehow almost everything tasted great to me. The activities were challenging yet within our physical capabilities. I would not have wanted to do the 3 day Nelson Lakes hike in the pouring rain but the weather cooperated and was beautiful! Thanks to Active Adventures New Zealand for a wonderful time we will always remember!

The Rimu set the bar high for my first 14 days in New Zealand. The adventure format was excellent with challenging hikes full of vistas and undulating walks through the temperate rainforests. Amplifying the Rimu were Daniel and Kelsey, who are excellent & special leaders, full of care & concern for our group as a whole and for each individual group member. They provided constant support and encouragement in all the hikes. They took every opportunity to provide additional treks and insights above and beyond the program format. They earned my trust and respect. They imparted their local knowledge and insights into the Maori culture both on the trail and on the bus. The accommodation & meals were exceptional. Between your trip schedule & the excellence of your leaders, the Rimu has been one of my best treks ever!!

Our guides, the landscape, the food, the itinerary and all the active adventure made our two weeks with AA on New Zealand's south island non-stop enjoyment. Did I mention the guides....oh yes... they were absolutely incredible. They did everything possible to provide us with an amazing experience - they were better than the scenery, which is really saying something.

The Kauri achieved the high bar set by the Rimu for my last 11 days in New Zealand. In between the two Active Adventures, I did the Kepler with 6 Auzzie friends. The Kauri adventure format was excellent with shorter but challenging hikes full of vistas and undulating walks through the temperate rainforests. Amplifying the Kauri were Andy and Jo who are excellent & special leaders, full of care & concern for our group as a whole and for each individual group member. They provided constant support and encouragement in all the hikes. They took every opportunity to provide additional treks & adventures and insights above and beyond the program format. They earned my trust and respect. They imparted their local knowledge and insights into the Maori culture both on the trail and on the bus. The accommodation & meals were exceptional. Between your trip schedule & the excellence of your leaders, the Kauri has been one of my best treks ever!!

We had high expectations for this trip, having been recommended by friends - and it exceeded these in every respect. We've been all over the world on biking/ walking holidays and this was easily the best. We met some great people in our group - we all seemed to gel really well. Every day was a highlight and our guides Dani and Maddi were simply superb - they worked so hard to make sure everything was the best it could be - hopefully they enjoyed their time with all of us as much as we did with them. Already thinking about coming back!

We have been to some wonderful places on earth but these islands are beyond belief! We loved the fact that this trip was land based which allowed us to spend all of our time actually on the islands or on the waters around the islands with all the beauty and all of the creatures. The wonderful travel between the islands allowed us to see places we could never have seen otherwise. This was our third Active Adventure trip and it met all of our expectations and exceeded them! Our guide, Zambo, was incredibly knowledgeable and his stories about growing up on Galapagos were so much fun to listen too. We would actually like to go again!

Wow! This trip brought me to a world of nature I could not have imagined even with all the reading and research possible to do beforehand. Zambo, our guide, was able to bring us to islands and waters that can only be seen to appreciate. The lovely hotels we were able to stay at on four different islands gave us a hands on experience I don't think we would have had if on a cruise ship. Our small group of seven became close and enjoyed all the experiences together. It was an amazing trip.

Absolutely LOVED the WEKA trip! While challenging, it was also just the amount of activity and relaxing down time. With the help of our incredible guides, we laughed, learned about the culture and land and really had a chance to sample the many diverse places of the South island. Thank you Maddie and Dani!

I took a leap of faith based on TripAdvisor and other online reviews (and was otherwise blind to how it would turn out)
and it was everything it was advertised to be. I would have never known how to get to all the places that were visited.
The guides were well organized and energetic, and you could tell that the accomodations were well thought out.

I took the Rimu Active Adventure trip to finally see the things I'd missed out on the South Island from my three previous visits. I was happy to have a holiday and be taken care of by two wonderful young women who were knowledgeable, capable, and fun! One was a great cook and the other a competent driver. Both were very fit and ambitious!! It was fabulous to see all the sights and do active things every day around the island. The guides shared history and stories of the landscape, animals and Maori customs. Probably what stood out to me, as the slowest hiker and biker, was the patience exhibited by the guides. They stayed with me and encouraged me when I was struggling, never once making me feel bad. They each deserve a medal for the care they showed to each and every one of us on the trip. Thank you to Active Adventures and Pepper and Hailey!!

Tess and Pepper were impressive group leaders, energetic, creative, flexible, strong, outstanding
cooks, great listeners and problem solvers! They always had an upbeat attitude and connected personally with each member of our group! They created a festive, fun atmosphere and broke up long travel days in to interesting stops and delightful surprises!

We had a great two weeks with Kim and Astrid. They are unfailingly well-organized, enthusiastic, and energetic and took us to see spectacular places. I will never forget being presented with birthday cupcakes (complete with a candle), while sitting on a gravel beach beside a glacial lake.

Active Adventures is a great group to tour New Zealand. If you love the outdoors and hitting all the cool spots, this is the trip for you. We are glad we didn't have to drive the hairpins curves of the South Island and felt totally comfortable in the small van. Lots of activities were planned and we never felt that we were trapped in the van. Our leaders, Kim and Astrid were top notch and fed us well too. Seamless travel in a lovely country.

This was a wonderful trip. The guides were fantastic, the food was awesome, the accommodations were terrific and the other people on the trip were truly wonderful. The backpacking and hiking were challenging, but worth every minute of exertion. As an added benefit, I also a lot of wildlife, as well as many birds.

'Wonderful trip. The guides were excellent, and our tour-mates were, too. New Zealand is spectacular and lived up to my "bucket-list" expectations. (It helped that we had outstanding weather - believe it or not.) The hiking was great. The general atmosphere in New Zealand was a pleasure to experience: open and friendly, laid back but energetic. All in all, a super vacation.
