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.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the Classic Macchu Pichu trip. The itinerary was well thought out. We learned so much about Inca (and pre-Inca) life leading up to seeing Macchu Pichu. There were also hikes to see the beautiful countryside. The food was excellent. Our guide Wilson was very knowledgeable and fun while being concerned about our well being.

This trip was an outstanding adventure for us--a 75 year old couple on their first trip to New Zealand and Australia. Our small group of 7 (most all "seniors") from the US and Australia got along well. The arranged hikes, varied accommodations and meals were quite amazing and fantastic overall. We were extremely fortunate to have great weather throughout the 2 weeks with only 2 rainy days which didn't slow us down much. Our guide and gourmet cook provided scrumptious meals and treats/snacks throughout the trip. Both guides were really wonderful with attention to safety and a treasure trove of information throughout. The activities (primarily hikes) were well selected, and the pre-trip suggestions as far as packing and exercise to "get in shape" were great. The number of different habitats and variety of national parks and trails we experienced were really outstanding. Most every detail was very well planned out and taken care of. We loved it all!

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.

The trip was beyond amazing. 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. We were definitely fortunate and now have such wonderful memories

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.
