Safari & Wildlife Adventures

yellowstone-vacation-3

See a young leopard stalk its prey, spot wolves and grizzly bears in Yellowstone, spy a breaching whale, and more on our safari and wildlife adventures.

Our wildlife adventures offer best-in-class accommodations in locations ideal for animal viewing and in close proximity to other activities. On our safari and wildlife adventures, you can enjoy a variety of wildlife tracking actifities like a bush walk with an experienced safari guide or a nature walk with your guide to spot foxes and bison.

Our guides will teach you how to track animals and help you learn about protecting wildlife and their habitats. At the end of the day, relax with a sundowner, gazing at elephants bathing in the distance, on one of our African safaris; or sip on a glass of wine as you look at Old Faithful during sunset at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park.

Patagonia Hiking Adventure

Susan

"Patagonia has been on my wish list for a number of years. Active Adventures transformed my wish to reality in the best way possible. The hikes to Torres del Paine and Mt Fitz Roy were challenging, indeed. I was so grateful for the guidance and encouragement from Active's exceptional guides. The word we hikers agreed for this trip is "ineffable." That is, words cannot fully describe it!

Classic South Island Adventure

Jeffrey

"Had an amazing trip through the South Island with Active Adventures. Everything was well thought out and smoothly executed. The guides were great. Brogan drove very safely, provided great information on New Zealand culture and biodiversity. Alex was an amazing chef and fun guide with great insights on the plants, birds and geologic history of NZ. Special activities were a blast - plane rides, jet boats, kayaks, e-bikes. They partnered with great local guides. Accommodations were clean and in good order, and located in beautiful spots. But for me, the hiking through this beautiful country with a nice small group and great guides was just the best.

Yellowstone Adventure

Maria Olsen

"Excellent, fun, knowledgeable guides! Booked, in part, because Austin Adventures guaranteed a night at Old Faithful Inn (booked out far in advance). Food was great and saw the best parts of Yellowstone while avoiding the crowds. Highly recommend Austin Adventures, as well as this itinerary.

Kenai Fjords & Denali Adventure

Sandra Davis, Ms.

"This is a wonderful trip for active travelers who like a variety of activities and great food. If you get good weather the scenery is epic. Don't miss the flight to Denali if it is a sunny day! Even if you don't have perfect weather, the activities are great -- especially the water based ones. If this part of Alaska interests you this is the way to go.

Tour Du Mont Blanc

Dianna Waller

"This was probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It was totally worth the money and would definitely do it again. The guides were awesome, very knowledgeable and helpful. The people in France, Switzerland and Italy were all so nice and hospitable. And the hikes were the perfect amount of hard but exhilarating at the same time and the scenery just could not be described appropriately. You have to see it yourself. And what better way can you knock 3 different countries off your bucket list. Great, great trip. Oh and don't get me started on the amazing food. So good!

Ultimate North Island Adventure

"We booked this excursion wanting to see and hike this extraordinary country which it did. However the range of activities we engaged in, snorkelling, mountain biking, Sandboarding, tube rafting added an exciting dimension and perspective by actually experiencing what NZ has to offer. Accommodations were excellent and above expectation; snacks, and sunscreen always available. Definitely recommend!
