Touring the South island of New Zealand with Active Adventures was outstanding!
Our guides, Jonathan and Brogen made the trip. Their positive and upbeat energy was contagious!
It was a surprise how many meals that they planned and cooked, every meal was delicious!
Milford Sound was a highlight, and waking up to snow at Mt Cook!

My experience with Active Adventures was perfect. We had a small group in New Zealand with 2 of the best guides, Ken and Emma. They were fun, organized, knowledgeable, thoughtful and friendly. Emma was a fabulous cook and Ken drove superbly on the challenging roads. I liked the mixture of accommodations and the mix of restaurants or eating in family style. I believe this was the very best way to experience the spectacular country and people of New Zealand.

I've wanted to visit NZ for 20 years and Active Adventures made sure it was as wonderful as possible when I finally got there. Our guides Ken and Emma were fun, knowledgeable, ready to answer any questions, and expert at choosing the best hikes for the weather and our group - and not to forget Emma being a phenomenal cook! They pushed us when needed and celebrated our accomplishments, all the while giving us a lot of insight in NZ life and nature. The trip ran like a well-oiled machine, and all I had to do was bring my hiking shoes and a thirst for an adventure. Can't thank enough for the amazing trip!

This was by far the biggest trip of my life, and it was more fun than I could have imagined. The eight days were packed with varied experiences and settings, which were wonderful. The leaders--Ken and Emma--made all the difference though. Their enthusiasm and care of their group were obvious. Unforgettable!

My overall experience of the 14 day Kiwi trip far exceeded my expectations. The attention and care of our guides Emma and Ken was outstanding. We were nurtured with wonderfully varied meals during the trip and educated about so many aspects of New Zealand. These included fauna, wildlife, history and ecology.
Our guides were patient, encouraging, and most striking, joyful and warm. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and I am deeply grateful.

We so enjoyed our walking adventure on the South Island. The scenery was spectacular, and our guides Emma and Greg were just amazing. The small group tour format is perfect, and the activity level was just right for our family. Would highly recommend to anyone, it truly was a trip of a lifetime!

Our NZ Walking Adventure was an optimum combination of immersing in the natural beauty of the best of the south island, plus learning about the flora and fauna, and history and culture of the country. On top of that, the meals and lodging provided was excellent. While there were days we wished we could have walked even further, all-in-all, we agreed that we had selected the best level trip for our abilities, and I think most in our group had chosen correctly as well. Grateful for Kim and Jessi. They were a great team and were very considerate of individual needs.
