I'm not usually a "tour" type of traveler. I joined the North Island Adventure trip because I was traveling solo through NZ and thought Active Adventures would help get me to places I couldn't get myself. Over the ten days, there was not a moment I questioned my choice. Our guides -- Katie and Branden -- were all about generosity of spirit, pride, and knowledge about the country they lovingly call home. Every activity, accommodation, and meal was seamlessly organized and full of joy -- and in some cases mischievous surprises. There was even laughter on the long bus rides. What I really appreciated the most about the trip was the flexibility and thoughtfulness. I never felt like the "extra" as a single traveler and I, or any other of my fellow trip mates, wanted to change up our day or try something different, the answer was always "yes". Should you join an Active Adventure trip? My answer will always be "yes"!

This trip exceeded my expectations. It had everything that I wanted in activities and sight seeing. I was looking for an adventure that offered opportunities for myself and my family, without requiring me to be in charge of all the details - this trip met and exceeded my expectations. I liked the variation in activities, the accommodations and food that were provided and our guides were excellent. The small group allowed us the opportunity to interact with others, without having to wait through large group delays.

We extremely enjoyed the trip. Everyone got along. The tour guides Liana and Lisa were great. Lisa coordinated and prepared a number on meals that were also very good. Liana kept us informed of the local traditions and histories. we enjoy everything.

Active does an amazing job arranging everything and really taking care of the guests. I had a great trip and can't say enough nice things about our guides. Everything went smooth and they were so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend the trip to anyone.

We saw and did amazing things, an action packed trip which is what we like. The guides were the best. We went to see and do activities we would have never found on our own.

The trip was just wonderful. I loved all the hiking, the variety of locations, the other activities and the most beautiful country. Our guides Nicola and Johnathon were super. Nicola prepared the best meals and Johnathon was right there to assist her while also making great fish on two occasions. They were both so kind, helpful and very efficient. I would most definitely do another trip with Active Adventures!!! Some of the accommodations were a bit run down and the company may want to reevaluate several spots. Overall it was just perfect in every way. We had several cancellations due to bad weather, but Nicola and John made the best of these unfortunately situations.

From the moment we got picked up we didn't stop. Jam packed filled with travelling, hiking, experiences, eating and drinking. Lynette, the driver, and Nic guiding were extremely brilliant. Their knowledge and care of us all was exemplary. We couldn't have asked for better guides.
Totally enjoyed this holiday, I have nothing bad to say about it.
