Most exciting and challenging adventure trip I've ever taken. A solid five-stars. We hiked, biked, snorkeled and subterranean-tubed all over New Zealand's beautiful north island. The sights during the19 Km Tongariro Alpine Crossing were amazing. Our guides, Liana and Lauren, were the best. Both are fountains of New Zealand cultural and archeological history. They kept us safe and anticipated all of our needs. If I find the right woman, I'll bring her to New Zealand with me for another Active Adventures trip!!

I enjoyed the shortened Kauri trip. Although only a few days long we saw a lot of the north island with several very fun things to do!

There is no doubt that the scenery of Northland New Zealand is magnificent, the Kauri trip took us to places that we probably would not have visited had we travelled independently. More than that though our guides Andy and Jo brought the trip to life with their pride in New Zealand and Andy's constant supply of information about New Zealand's history and culture, we learned more from Andy and Jo and the Maori we met than we ever would have from reading travel guides. Highlihgts for me were the Maori guide led evening walk in the Kauri forest, sandboarding in Hokianga and the beach and cliff walk at Mangawhai Heads. We travelled with a great group and had a lot of fun.

This truly was an amazing trip. Every day a new adventure began. The guides were absolutely brilliant, they were so good at including and empowering everyone, despite some having reservations at times. The activities were quite a challenge but the relaxed but firm guidance gave everyone the confidence to ‘go for its. I felt safe at all times. The variety of challenges was superb, and when things didn’t quite work out as planned the alternatives always surpassed our expectations, didn’t feel like second best at all.

Active enough for me- walking up and down hills and volcanos, zip lining, sand dune boarding, cave floating and much more.

I booked with Active Adventures on the recommendation of a relative who works in tourism in New Zealand. She told me you were the best and I have to agree. The locations and activities did not disappoint, the accommodation ranged from luxurious to quirky and the food was tasty and plentiful. On top of that, we had outstanding guides in Claire and Holly, with years of experience, plenty of local knowledge and a knack for treating their guest just right. These two were amazing and I would happily book to travel with either one again, regardless of the destination. Thank you Active for a great trip!
