This trip was an amazing adventure for our family of 6! Our guides, Michelle, Rachael and Liana were organized, knowledgable and fun. Every day was a new experience on the beautiful South Island... fly-in and camping in the Siberian Wilderness, sea kayaking in Milford Sound, waterfalls everywhere, and many laughs on the bus with family and new friends! Highly recommend this trip :)

My wife and I had so many questions prior to meeting our group and guides in NZ. How many in our group? What kind of people and what ages? What about the guides?
What a great group from the start! Tess and Ken were thoughtful, sharing and knowledgeable guides. The itinerary was well thought-out even though we had our detours and quick changes. I was the oldest by 12 years and I loved it--tough for one without any meniscus but I expected it would be so--loved sweating and working. Braemar Station and Milford Sound were definitely highlights but the chemistry of our group was most prominent.

Our guides, Greg and Liana are amazing! Their tireless energy, cheerful attitudes, helpfulness, flexibility, wisdom and professionalism played a big part in making this a very special trip.
New Zealand's scenery is absolutely spectacular! Hiking the lush forests with mammoth ferns and trees left us unable to say anything but WOW!! Each hike we did seemed "the best". Our hike on the Routeburn Track was a highlight. The drive to Milford Sound held us in silent awe.
At Mt. Cook it was great to have a choice between a challenging and a relaxing hike ~ both fantastic. Staying at the Braemar Station, a sheep shearers' quarters was a perfect end to our adventure. We reveled in the wide open rolling grasslands while fixated on the majestic mountains beyond.
Active Adventures is an outstanding company and has put together a variety of activities to make "RIMU" a real winner!

We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Active! The booking process was super smooth and we were provided tons of info to make sure we were all prepared for the week. Our guides, Claire and Torrey were exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. Every day was planned almost down to the minute, with back up plans in case of weather changes, etc. it was such a relief to have alll of the logistics accounted for (including several delicious meals) which ensured we were able to really enjoy our trip and get the most out of our time on the South Island. At the same time, the guides were super accommodating, with everything from diet-specific needs to being able to modify the activities to fit the wide range in interests and levels of fitness. Siberia Valley was the highlight for the group and we would highly recommend it! Overall, this really was the trip of a lifetime and it was mostly thanks to the knowledge, patience, planning, and stellar attitudes of our guides! Thanks ladies for a wonderful week!!
