Truly an unforgettable trip! The Rimu trip does a great job of giving you a taste of all the many things the South Island has to offer. There was always something new and different to explore around the next corner (or on top of the next hill). The guides Andy and Alex were great and their talents and knowledge worked well with our smaller adventurous group. They always knew of a special place to go visit, and every day seemed like we did something a little extra that wasn’t on the itinerary, making for really busy and tiring days! You can rest when you get home! Alex was a great cook and always tried to make sure everyone was happy and had what they wanted. Andy was great with his storytelling on the bus, sharing his love of his country with us visitors. I’ll never forget his jump off the bridge into the cold cold water of the blue pools either! Without the great guides the trip wouldn’t be half as much fun as it was. Accommodations every night ranged from great to awesome, with my favorites being Braemar and Franz Josef. Food was unbelievable, with a great range of New Zealand cuisine and special treats locals enjoy. I looked forward to supper each night! Trip is extremely well planned and put together by a first rate organization, Active Adventures. An amazing experience!

Having never trekked at a height before it was with anticipation that we met with other members of our team in Kathmandu. Seven in all were to attempt the trek (five would succeed). Nick and I had trained but not at heights. The reassuring aspect of the trek was that the Leader, DK was informative and considered everyone's needs. The trip was largely successful due to the planning and understanding of DK. The plan was to reach Everest Base Camp, not to see who could get there first! I cannot thank DK and 'the boys' enough for the effort they put in to ensure we made it. Trip of a lifetime.

Our guide Frank was exceptional and made sure that we experienced everything- the people, the culture, the history, the food and of course the beautiful scenery!
