This is one of those trips you'll never forget. The tour guides were excellent and complimented the trip and experience perfectly. The only problem was that it wasn't longer! Getting to know the fellow travelers was a lot of fun and we had a great time with everybody. They catered the adventures for the skill level of those in the group, so we'd break off when we wanted more challenges and could sit back when needed. I can't wait to take another Active Adventures trip ... and can't wait to get back to New Zealand!

It was the most exciting and exhilarating adventure of my life. Daniel was the BOMB as we say it here in Barbados. He thought of everything, and was always surprising us with treats and excellent food. Around every corner was always another post card panorama, and the hikes were to die for. I would say that New Zealand and Active together, are an unbeatable combination. I so look forward to coming back to do the 2 week Rimu, and to experience the wonders of the most beautiful country I have ever visited. Until then, keep up the Kiwi spirit of adventure.

My husband and I had a fabulous time on the Tui trip. Cassie and Natalie were amazing guides and made the trip extra special. The places we visited were absolutely gorgeous and we really lucked out with the weather. The highlight of the trip was the night spent in Siberia Valley and hike to Lake Crucible.

Before arriving in NZ I wasn't sure what to expect, but was always excited and looking forward to it. Coming from a small country in the Caribbean this trip lived up to and exceeded my expectations. It was well organized and the country itself is awe inspiring, the areas that we visited are like nature's art room.

I was diagnosed with a sinus infection the day before our tour started. I started to take antibiotics but was not up to my physical best when we started, but I pushed myself. Daniel was very accommodating and understanding. I left my hiking poles at the hotel where we met and Active New Zealand got them sent to me in Queensland. This is an examples of the reputation of your firm and employees. I highly recommend Active Adventures for any trip.
Daniel took us to places in New Zealand that one can only see in pictures and travel magazines. My only regret is that we don't always have time to just take it all in, but have to keep moving. It is very hard to say what part of the trip I liked most. In one of the questions I stated that it was Franz Joseph Glacier, but the day we flew into the mountains hiked and took a jet boat back was really great too. I have something especially memorable for each day of the trip.
