  We had a great time on our Kea trip with Duck and Dan! They were great with my kids, catered to our every whim, and were awesome hosts for a beautiful country.

  Active Adventures has set the bar high - it is going to be hard for us to ever best this trip! What an amazing journey we had. Every day was action-packed, full of amazing sights and awesome adventures. We loved our guides, our kids especially. Sarah & Huw really made the trip special. They took care of everything so that we could really soak in all the wonders of New Zealand. I'd book again with Active Adventures in a heartbeat - this was truly a trip of a lifetime.

  The only weakness of this trip was in my legs after a long, wet, sloppy hike (my fault, inadequate conditioning). The guides, scenery, and general plans were outstanding. Particularly impressed with ""Duck"" and ""Mel"" (Dan and Melissa) for their knowledge, attitudes, and support. Well worth the money, time and effort!

  Our trip was incredible! Duck and Mel were such wonderful guides. Our entire family (which included myself, my husband, my parents, my sister, my nephew, and my soon-to-be brother-in-law) traveled together for the first time and by the end of the trip, Duck and Mel felt like family as well! We enjoyed every minute of it! THANK YOU for being AWESOME!!!

  My only regret...it ended too soon! Most of the pictures seem to show New Zealand as it appears in summer. Don't be fooled -- winter is gorgeous and perfect for hiking. I think the locals try to keep winter a secret to keep the tourists away :-) And speaking of locals.... Duck (Dan) and Mel (Melissa) are a national treasure -- we couldn't have had better guides for this trip!

  Taking the Kea trip for our first family holiday was the best decision. Not only did we have a fantastic time but we made some wonderful friends from other parts of the world. New Zealand is a beautiful country, we learnt alot about the history and our guides stories always had our ears pricked to the front! We will definitely be referring the Kea trip to our family and friends.

  New Zealand is a beautiful country, but the experience would not have been half as memorable if it were not for our AA guides. They were professional, could answer any question about NZ, incredibly competent in all ways and so much fun! But it would be unfair not to mention the preliminary support team leading up to the trip. All requests and needs were handled quickly and efficiently. And last, but not least, the itinerary was so well thought out. I enjoyed every minute of the trip and was sorry to see it end.
