A fantastic trip despite the rain at times. The places visited were well chosen with a good range of activities. So many highlights. Guides Lauren and Jon were fun, friendly, highly organised and flexible so that alternatives were quickly offered when weather interrupted planned activities. Any problems were quickly sorted.

The description of this trip understates the level of adventure that you will experience. If you like travel where you will be immersed in the natural beauty of the destination this is a great way to travel!

What an amazing place NZ is! It was even made better by our guides Greg and Eema! They looked after every detail to make this the most amazing journey. Eema’s cooking was to die for and she took everyone’s dietary requirements into account. They made all adjustments of ability into account each day and offered alternatives as needed. I would gladly go with them again what a great team they were.
Can’t say enough about them and the itinerary

Trip was great! Was a fun mix of activities. Although not as good as the South Island trip. That is not a reflection of Kim and Holly or Active Adventures - but more the beauty of the South Island and the other travelers on the trip. And this trip was only 5 days vs 14 days so we bonded more with people on the South Island trip.

Jeff and I enjoyed the family feel of the trip. We were amazed at the care take in preparing meals and yet it never seemed to get in the way of activities. I enjoyed learning about the flora and fauna of New Zealand as we hiked. The mountain biking was a lot of fun and felt magical at times underneath the pines. The cave tubing was invigorating and seeing the glow worms was spectacular! It was scary to jump of small waterfalls in the dark with the water rushing around and tugging at my feet, but the guides were very skilled at keeping the experience from feeling too far out of my comfort zone. They offered enough support for me to feel confident that I could do what I needed to do.
