Our Kiwi trip was definitely the trip of a lifetime. Every day was full of great hikes and other activities, interesting information on New Zealand (geography, history, culture etc.), and fantastic scenery. Our guides were knowledgeable, helpful, just a lot of fun. I could have stayed another week or two! We will definitely be back!

I enjoyed every minute of my active adventure. Sara and Duck were superior guides and very accommodating when it came to meals, activities, etc. Every detail was organized to the Nth degree. Plus the food was delicious, healthy, and always freshly prepared. The Heli-hike on Franz Josef Glacier was incredible. I am so glad I took this trip.

A great trip - once in a lifetime - worth the flight to get to NZ from the east coast of the US. Scenery was great and the adventures and people helped make the adventure what it was.

This trip not only met but went beyond our expectations. Duck and Sarah, our guides, were wonderful. We saw the best and most beautiful parts of New Zealand, enjoyed great food and made new friends.

The Kiwi trip was challenging for me. I read that it was the 'gentlest' of all the active trips and that it was appropriate for all fitness levels. I also read that hikes were 1-3 hours in length and thought, 'no problem'. It turned out that some of those hikes were 1 hour uphill climbs that I had trouble with. Of course, I was always rewarded with a spectacular view at the top. I cannot adequately express the natural beauty of New Zealand. 'Awesome' takes on a new meaning. Accommodations were adequate, food was good. Guides were helpful and fun. Our group was friendly, and everyone got along well. New Zealand totally met my expectation and I appreciate being able to see it with a small group, guided tour.

Our Kiwi Active Adventure was a wonderful combination of seeing and experiencing New Zealand, as well as building a bond with our small group of nine, including our two guides, Sarah and Andrew.
We saw lovely beaches, majestic snow capped mountains, glaciers, colorful lakes and rivers, waterfalls, interesting rock formations, and glow worms. There were times I wished we were able to spend more time at some of the spots. We moved right along so that we could see all that Andrew and Sarah had planned for us. However, the total experience was one that I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to have an outdoor experience in New Zealand.
The meals that Sarah prepared were delicious and beautifully presented. Andrew's knowledge was really put to the test with all of our questions, but he always came through with flying colors. His storytelling of Maori history and culture was entertaining and interesting.
Thank you for providing the opportunity to explore and experience your beautiful countryside of New Zealand's South Island.
