Talk about a trip of a lifetime.... our Weka adventure was it! The best guides (Ken, Mel and Elder), the best mix of biking and hiking and wonderful accommodations / food, all while experiencing the majestic beauty of New Zealand. It is easy to see why Mel, Ken and Elder show such pride in their company and country!

What a wonderful trip! Ellie, Elder and Lucy provided for us a trip of a lifetime, it was magical. They were exceptional guides, caring for our every need and worked tirelessly from morning to night. We received excellent commentary on the culture, wildlife and scenery of New Zealand. We didn't have to think much of where we needed to be or what we would eat, all was taken care of by our wonderful guides. We were blessed with great weather and awesome traveling companions, we just "clicked". We are already talking of a reunion! Thanks for such a great time!!

Everything about the trip far surpassed our expectations: the day to day excursions, the beauty of the country and its people, the accommodations and the food. I can't say enough about our guides: their attention to every detail, their energy and skill, attentiveness to all our needs, their stories fact and folklore, and of course their amazing culinary skills.

In addition to a country full of beauty there was the added bonus of three guides who made us all feel like we were all just one happy family. I could sense this feeling throughout the trip but didn’t realize the reason until we were dining next to a different company’s tour group. You could just see the guides had not established a comfortable relationship with their tour group so their dinner conversation and banter just wasn’t as open and friendly. I realized then beyond just knowledge of the country and of navigating around on bikes how important it is to have guides who feel more like best friends than guides. Thank you Ellie, Elder and Lucy. You cats are just the best!!

Your crew (guides) took nine people and brought them together in a way that can only be described as Family! The adventure was outstanding. Great biking, hiking, fun, food, friendship, love, scenery and superb accommodations! Elder, Ellie and Lucy love their jobs and love showing off the country of New Zealand. They were so knowledgeable and had lovely stories to tell us about the local culture! This was our 3rd trip with Active and it was as great as the other two. It was also our 2nd time with Elder (the first was in Peru) and he is the absolute best at what he does. You are very lucky to have him working at Active. We love Active and recommend their adventures without any reservations.

The Weka trip was an amazing way to see so much of the South Island - it really encompassed all that we love. The biking was amazing with many different options, loved the hiking and touring Milford Sound by boat was good - spectacular scenery even more spectacular guides that make this trip the 5 star.

I knew NZ was beautiful but this trip surpassed all expectations. The guides were knowledgeable, encouraging and fun, the terrain varied and could be challenging and the food - especially the meals cooked by the guides - was delicious. Don’t miss the sheep shearing lodge!
