The Takahe trip is full of wonder, excitement and lasting memories. It boasts spectacular scenery every day, quality accommodation, comfortable travel and carefully balanced activities allowing energy levels to be manageable over five days. The guides are personable, knowledgeable, and great managers of the group dynamics with a mix of abilities and personalities. Full on days hiking with creative planning leads to happy and contented participants who come home to reminisce about the journey and its success. Thank you Active Adventures.

So tempted to try to knock off a few great walks as the years slip by?
Join this perfect honey of great walk tasters. Within lies the relaxing level nature walks in forest crowded with amazing lush undergrowth, or light- filtered lighter growth; then onto more challenging stuff such as Routeburn's Key Summit or Ben Lomond saddle.
All this and always guided by our lovely young whizz-kid guides.
And don't forget incredible meals appearing regularly.

I knew the trip was going to be a success because of the way we were greeted at the Hotel on the first morning. Button & Emma went the extra mile to look after us everyday & of course, we all liked Sam a lot.

Five days of adventure, fabulous food and amazing scenery and I didn't have to do a thing except be there and enjoy it. I had an absolute blast and this was in a huge part due to our guides Ruby and Pim, who were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, caring and cheerful all the way. The logistics of the trip were really well thought through and managed. Hats off to Ruby and Pim. You were both amazing!

The weather was perfect for the entire 5 days, couldn't have asked for better. Ruby and Pim were a great team, everything went very smoothly, they were both fabulous and knowledgeable guides. Ruby whipped up amazing meals and I felt very safe and comfortable with Pim's driving. The Takahe is an excellent taster to showcase Fiordland

From start to finish this WAS a trip of a life time as promised! I cannot fault one single thing over the entire 5 days! Fabulous guides, food, driving, accommodation, tramping experiences plus other activities such as boating on Doubtful and Milford Sounds. Loved it all and the weather was sunny the whole time

This trip has left lasting memories of a beautiful part of our country. From start to finish our tour guides Kim and Ruby took care of every need in a no fuss, highly efficient and talented way providing a seamless and wonder filled experience. Everything was on time and managed to perfection...from daily departures, highly knowledgeable integrated nature discussions and culinary delights prepared and served by them....
The trip itself covered all the main areas of Fiordland. The overnight boat experience on Doubtful Sound was a highlight and we experienced mirror reflection perfect weather that even had the Captain out photographing. The walks were all very manageable and each different enough to provide the magical experience they promise.
I would most definitely recommend this tour.
