Costa Rica Guanacaste Adventure - March 2024

Fun Adventure

"This was my first group tour so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was a little sus, actually, and was uncertain how things would go. Those concerns were quickly dismissed once I met our guide, Roy, and driver, George. They found excellent hotels, activity vendors, restaurants, led informative and exciting hikes, and put together an overall awesome itinerary. Each day was filled with adventure, fun and local food. I have to admit the trip exceeded my expectations and I'm considering exploring the east coast of Costa Rica now that I've experienced the west coast.

Pura Vida - Costa Rica

"This is my second trip with Austin / Active Adventures and it won't be my last! Costa Rica, Guanacaste trip was amazing. The activities were well planned and ran smoothly. The nature was beautiful and everything I hoped it would be. But the best part was our guide Roy and our driver Jorge! They 100% made my trip the best it could be. I am a single traveler and I always felt safe, taken care of and very much entertained and educated! I definitely recommend the Guanacaste, CR trip and if you are lucky to get Roy and Jorge, you are guaranteed to LOVE IT!

Classic South Island Adventure - March 2024

Trip of a lifetime

"When booking this trip for me I knew it would be a once in a lifetime experience and I'm almost glad I set that expectation for myself at the start because I'm not sure any trip I do in the future will live up to it. The itinerary is great, so much packed in in a week and everything was a highlight, if I had to pick I'd say Milford Sound and Siberia Valley. The food, I hadn't really considered before the trip started but Lauren's food was incredible every time. I didn't expect to learn so much about New Zealand but loved that I did. Active is a great company on the trip everything was so slick I didn't have to worry about a thing, and having the small groups with two amazing guides creates a very personalised and fun experiment.

Fantastic trip

"I had a fantastic time travelling with Active Adventures to the South Island of New Zealand. I'm especially grateful to the staff at the corporate office who helped squeeze me in on such short notice given how last minute my trip was! The trip was perfect for me as I prefer more active vacations and was able to experience New Zealand through hiking, which was exactly what I wanted. I loved the other travelers in my tour group, and my guides were absolutely fantastic and looked after the group very very well while providing very interesting commentary on New Zealand.

New Zealand Walking Adventure - March 2024

Great trip to New Zealand

"Traveling with Active Adventures to New Zealand was my first solo hiking trip. I admit I am still a beginner hiker, but the activity levels helped me decide that I was ready for a level 2 adventure. From the moment I met the group and our two guides, Noah and Koru, I knew I had made the right decision. We made several stops along our way around the South Island, hiking, shopping, eating and just enjoying. With the exception of one hike, I felt comfortable yet challenged making my way along the hikes. (I should have done more stair work before I went, because the land does undulate more than I realized!)

Koru and Noah worked together seamlessly driving us from location to location, explaining the meaning and history of the country and the people, cooking for us and there were great choices of restaurants when we went out to eat.

Although the trip could have accommodated more people, our group consisted of seven. It was great to meet and get to know these wonderful people that travelled with me. There was never a time that I felt unsafe or confused about the days events…

Our group was a nice small size with everyone getting along fabulously and our guides were outstanding from day 1 with their knowledge and love for the country as well as the outdoors and trails we explored. One guide cooked on occasion and the meals were delicious ; better than a restaurant. The weather cooperated but even when it did not that did not damper our spirits, rather it enhanced the day with the elements reminding us of where we were.

"I completely did not know what to expect and this just was incredibly amazing. I completely was lucky enough
to enjoy the most incredible guide, Gem. He was attentative, knowledgeable, funny, definitely an asset to the company.
My group was small 9 people including myself. Trip was a total of 2 weeks. I was brave enough to do the camping with 2 others. I do not regret that at all. What an experience!! I loved the refugios, speechless views, sunsets, sun rises, amazing Glaciers and of course experienced the winds!! The other 6 picked glamping, which had a great guide. We all met together again at the end of the "w Trek". The food along the way was perfect! Experienced local dinning, camping food, lunch boxes , lots of choices.
The rides through Chile and Argentina to get to our destinations was great. Got to see many animals, birds, plants on the way. Every little town we stayed in was phenomenal!!!
I already miss my guide and all the great people I have met along the way.
Will definitely do this again, but not without my guide Gem!!
