This was our third trip with Active Adventures (2010 South Island, 2013 Peru) and our high expectations were not disappointed. Guides Andrew and Sarah were above and beyond our greatest hopes: encouraging, adaptive, flexible, helpful, knowledgeable, and just plain fun! Our group became great friends, and ended each day finding the closest pub to share and re-live the day's adventure. Even though the abilities of our members varied, each one was accommodated and made to feel challenged but not intimidated. Nothing but fun, friends, and adventure!

This was truly a super trip of the North Island ~ I enjoyed every minute of it. Our lead guide Andrew was quite knowledgeable about the history of the areas that we passed through which was very interesting. I learned a lot about the Maori culture and history. Along with Nat our other guide who looked after all our concerns, cooked delicious meals and provided plenty of information as well. Both Andrew and Nat inspired us and motivated us and were very positive and fun to be around. Having taken the Kauri previously when it was only a 5 day trip I really enjoyed the extra days and seeing the Northern part of the North Island.

Wow, what a way to turn 60! I had been looking at traveling to New Zealand for 8 years and finally had the opportunity. This trip to the North Island was incredible.
The guides were knowledgeable about their country; shared valuable information with us along the tour and prepared some awesome meals! I especially liked the continued history and information on the Maori culture, which was of particular interest to me.

The Kauri trip was wonderful! A great blend of active and cultural adventures, with opportunities to learn, try new things, and take on challenges. And the guides were great - very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the North Island.

Lauren and Sarah were excellent guides. They are really good at what they do! We saw some wonderful places and participated in some really good activities. We loved the Maori experience, the mountain biking and the trekking. A great trip all round
