We chose Active Adventures based on a colleague recommendation, and could not have been happier. After considering various options, including renting a camper, we were thrilled to have chosen Active Adventures and never looked back.
While the itinerary was well made for families with children of similar age to ours, we feel Claire and Melissa were the real pillar of our entire vacation. They did everything! We saved so much time everyday compared to if we had remotely tried to organise our trip ourselves, making it so efficient and smooth. More importantly, they had such a big smile everyday and were a hit with our three children aged 10, 9 and 6. Our children cried when leaving them, they had adopted Claire and Mel immediately. With their great games ideas and spirit, through stories and sharing with them about New Zealand, their patience with all of us, they all made it happen! We can't thank you enough Mel and Claire! Oh and Claire is a fantastic bus driver and Mel a great chef!

The trip was excellent and I felt the group experienced a large portion of the south island. The scenery was beautiful and often breathtaking. The hikes were fun and not real difficult. The guides we fun and very supportive. We were kept very busy, from early morning to night. These long days were seemed necessary in order to see the whole island.

This was my second trip with Active Adventures, my first trip was Peru in 2014 and I didn't think that would ever be equaled. The Condor trip once again far exceeded my expectations and proved to be a physical challenge with the most spectacular views of mountains and glaciers you will ever see. Top this having Cynthia as our tour guide made the trip of a lifetime.

I really enjoyed the RIMU trip! It was just challenging enough to put me out of my comfort zone and still enjoy the trip very much! The group I travelled with were great company and has made this a very memorable experience.
Our guides Vanessa and Joe were outstanding and very much the reason the trip had been so enjoyable. Their experience, knowledge, kindness and patience as they took care of us for two weeks is very much appreciated. Vanessa was carrying a 22kg backpack on the second day of the Nelson's Lakes (1000m ascend!) hike and waited while I very slowly made my way up to the top! Joe is a wonderful guide dispensing technical advice and a fantastic chef - the group has named him the Man, the Myth, the Legend so that really says a lot! Vanessa and Joe gave really good guidance on the trails, difficulty level and clothing required for all our hikes, so we were well equipped to really enjoy them.
I couldn't have picked a better trip to explore the South Island with! :)
