We saw and did amazing things, an action packed trip which is what we like. The guides were the best. We went to see and do activities we would have never found on our own.

The trip was just wonderful. I loved all the hiking, the variety of locations, the other activities and the most beautiful country. Our guides Nicola and Johnathon were super. Nicola prepared the best meals and Johnathon was right there to assist her while also making great fish on two occasions. They were both so kind, helpful and very efficient. I would most definitely do another trip with Active Adventures!!! Some of the accommodations were a bit run down and the company may want to reevaluate several spots. Overall it was just perfect in every way. We had several cancellations due to bad weather, but Nicola and John made the best of these unfortunately situations.

From the moment we got picked up we didn't stop. Jam packed filled with travelling, hiking, experiences, eating and drinking. Lynette, the driver, and Nic guiding were extremely brilliant. Their knowledge and care of us all was exemplary. We couldn't have asked for better guides.
Totally enjoyed this holiday, I have nothing bad to say about it.

The holiday was amazing, what a great way to explore New Zealand, North Island. Lynette was a great driver and very knowledgeable about the country. Nicola was a fantastic cook, all dietary requirements catered for really well. All the activities were well organised and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

This trip was everything advertised and more. Our two guides (Lynette our driver and guide and Natalie our chef and guide) made sure we got the most our of our 11 day tour of the North Island. Their expert knowledge on flora and fauna, trails and back roads, meals, local culture plus their encouragement and sense of humor made this trip unforgettable. We were treated to a wide variety of experiences and everyday was an adventure.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Ultimate North Island Adventure, from the challenging hike on the #Tongariro Alpine Crossing# on a rainy and windy day, to the amazing tubing in the #Waitomo Caves#, to the awesome #sand boarding# at the Te Pouahi Reserve, this trip was a great introduction to New Zealand. Other highlights included mountain biking followed by cappuccinos on a beautiful sunny day, an inspiring guided forest tour by a Maori leader, cultural performances that brought out the uniqueness of the Maori culture, visits to stunning waterfalls, and various water activities at the Bay of Islands. The North Island Adventure has something to meet everyone's interests. Our guides, Lauren and John, worked seamlessly together to make our expeditions enjoyable, showing off their hiking and culinary skills. The guide prepared meals were spectacular!
Overall, this was an outstanding experience, highly recommended!

This trip is very well organized. The activities are interesting, the highlight being the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Many walks were closed due to a recent cyclone. Replacement activities were interesting, but nit quite ad active as planned. This was beyond anyone’s control

Had a great time. First 5 days were excellent then a Cyclone hit so for 3-4days we had to do alternate less active things. Also could not do the Tongoriro Crossing. Can't control the weather. The Guides did a great job getting us out of harms way and finding interesting activities. Still had a fabulous time and learned a lot about Maori Culture.
