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.

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!

It is over all a well designed trip. We enjoyed the whole trip and the company of fellow travelers very much. Especially our guides Aleisha and Luck are excellent.

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.

A really nice overview of the north island is included in this adventure. You will learn about the ancient Maori culture and how it is being kept alive for future generations. There is a lot of traveling with a safe driver who is also one of the guides. There is a choice of activities to participate in. Overnight accommodations are comfortable and there is plenty of food and snacks.

It was the most beautiful and adventurous trip we have taken as a family. Calving glacier, 3 Pumas, Condors, gorgeous scenery....and a whole lot of family time together. Our guides Gustavo and Nico were excellent and made the trip the success that it was.

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 and was allowed to sit out a hike due to a blister...yes, I am still learning to deal with the blisters.
I just can't say enough about how great this trip was.

Every step of this adventure was amazing! Pepo and Paolo, our guides, made the logistics of the trip seamless, but more importantly, their knowledge, experience and pride in their Islands and its people gave us a real understanding of the marvel that is the Galapagos. The trip could not have been better and we will look for other opportunities to travel with Active Adventures.
