The trip took us to some amazing destinations allowing us to sample so much of what Fjordland has to offer. A once in a lifetime experience.

Ashley and Alisha were amazing. We were very lucky to have only 6 in our party of the same relative ages.
They looked after our every need.

I usually do my own itinerary, I am my own travel agent, however, I felt that this hiking tour along the West Coast of New Zealand had created a plan I couldn't beat. I wasn't sure I would like being on a tour with a group of strangers, however, things just clicked. It was a small group and we just seemed to click. The guides were awesome setting the tone that made the trip so thrilling.

Trip of a lifetime! Did my homework and made all the right choices! Our guides took the best care of us and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met! DK and Natasha are very special and enjoyed DK’s stories along the way! The hotels were very accommodating and the food was delicious! We had some special moments with the Dusky dolphins and we couldn’t have asked for better weather! I am so grateful to have done this all inclusive hike, thank you so much!?

This adventure was close to perfect. Brilliant guides (Koru & Kate), amazing places, beautiful weather, wonderful hikes. If there were problems they wwere dealt with with no dramas. The whole trip ran very smoothly. An excellent trip & I have already recommended Active Adventures to friends & family. However, the booking process through Luxury Escapes was a nightmare. Through them, we paid for a holiday that didn't exist. We tried many times to contact them without success. Formal complaints were lodged, with no adequate response. We asked for hotel bookings before & after, which never materialized. We booked independently in the end. Such a stressful process. Do not book through Luxury Escapes, go directly to Active Adventures, who are very good.

This was an amazing week for us. The guided walks were the best. My favourite was the Beech Forest Trail on the Kepler Track. The most challenging for me was the climb to the saddle on Ben Lomond, the views from Key Summit on the Routeburn track spectacular and the sand flies on the Milford Track just plain annoying but didn't stop us enjoying our 10k walk. Our guides Koru and Brownie were outstanding. So knowledgeable, kind and patient as we were mostly a group of 8 of reasonably fit over 65yrs - let's say we all had walking boots that had been used before! The accommodation and meals were lovely in a variety of setting my favourites were the cruise on Doubtful Sound and Milford Lodge real luxury with such great staff teams. Cruising round Secretary Island, seeing dolphins and seals and variety bird life were all up there. The time went so quickly. We have returned home enriched and well exercised! Thank you, Koru and Brownie, for your exceptional hard work and kindness.
