- AMargaret· May 3rd, 2014Active Adventures is certainly the best way to experience New Zealand. The varied landscapes and hiking trails gave a true feel for the South Island. The guides, Dave and Nicole, kept us well in tow and well fed. Loved the trip!Trip date: October 2014
- ARhonda· March 16th, 2014Our Manuka trip exceeded all our expectations. I knew the trip was going to be great, but our accommodations, food, and especially our guides Nicole and Dave were ""over the top"" fantastic! First class all the way. It didn't hurt that we had outstanding weather too. New Zealand shined in every way.Show moreTrip date: October 2014
- APamela· March 16th, 2014A great introduction to New Zealand. I felt I was in really good hands with our guides: great personalities, competent, patient and they went out of their way to provide personal attention. The itinerary and choice of accommodations was just right. The holiday was very well-organised and co-ordinated but still had a completely relaxed feeling. Thank you Andrew, Nicole and Cassie.Show moreTrip date: December 2013
- ASusan· March 17th, 2014The Manuka trip with Nicole and Dave in February 2014 was amazing! Great scenery and hiking, wonderful fellow travelers, delicious meals, lots of unique experiences, the BEST guides, and just loads of fun! I couldn't have asked for a better New Zealand adventure!Show moreTrip date: October 2014
- AMike· March 18th, 2014Simply the BEST!Trip date: October 2014
- ARobert· January 4th, 2014Our guide GT, was amazing. His cooking and knowledge of New Zealand and its native culture was extensive. He managed to offer a little of something to each of the members of our group whether it be to find a new cell phone or to running up a mountain to challenge another hiker. We have already recommended Active Adventures to our book club, who're currently reading The Luminaires.Show moreTrip date: October 2014
- AJanet· August 4th, 2014Seamless delightful trip with great food. Thanks for ordering up the good weather as well!Trip date: October 2014
- AImtiaz· May 1st, 2015The trip was well organized and thought out. The guides were wonderful and it was fun interacting with them. Great trip one the best organized trips I have been on. ImiTrip date: December 2014
- ARobert· July 1st, 2015This was a really enjoyable trip that provided exposure to a broad range of habitats and some of the iconic scenery of the South Island. We were really lucky with the weather -- only a couple of days of rain and even then not heavy -- and traveling at the holidays was fun, even if it made things a bit more crowded in some places. I would tweak a few details but liked the itinerary overall.Show moreTrip date: December 2014
