The guides were friendly and knowledgable. At times in NZ I felt like it was 60 million years BC - I was just waiting for a dinosaur of some description to come running out of the rainforest! The scenery was simply stunning. I tried not to sleep on the bus because I didn't want to miss a thing!
I never would have thought some Aussies, Americans, a South African family and Londoner would get along - but it was a fantastic combo and I hope to see them all again in future!

The variety of experiences, sights and sounds was fantastic! The guide was knowledgable and shared a great deal with us. He also went above and beyond to resolve some challenging situations with luggage and left items. It was a memorable experience for our entire family!

We "lucked" into the Tui trip in December 2011 after the trip we signed up for was cancelled. The staff at Active NZ did everything they could to find us another trip that fit our schedule and our needs. We have an 11 year old and needed to make sure that this trip would also work for him. With the flexibility of the itinerary and our awesome guides, we all had a blast! There was a great mix of activities, and we know they we were able to see an insiders view of New Zealand that we could have never found on our own.

If there is, I haven't seen it, and I've traveled a lot. Words and photos can't begin to convey how breath-taking Patagonia is, and with Active, we could not have gotten a closer look. There's a lot to experience, and in a short time for such a large area, I left knowing I had seen the highlights. Active is experienced, professional, and most important, fun. Thanks for a really memorable adventure!

It is difficult to see an island of this size in two weeks, but I came away feeling that we had seen, experienced and enjoyed just about as much as anyone could. I would certainly recommend the northbound route because Milford Sound and Mt Cook were the undoubted highlights for me and they came towards the end. We were fortunate also to have a great bunch of people, guided by Liz who was very knowledgeable and Natalie who also cooked some wonderful meals.

I felt that this trip would be my first and probably one of only a few truly spectacular events in my life.
With my daughter moving to Australia, it provided the perfect opportunity to visit and plan this outing.
Active New Zealand provided the avenue that allowed me to see as much as possible in the short time we had to spend in NZ. I had read about many of the places, hikes and activities to experience in NZ.
But being there was fantastic and having knowledgable guides with great attitudes made it that much more enjoyable. We had a great group traveling with us and tried to make the most of everything.
The weather cooperated with us and allowed for a rain free trip which I hear is not that common, especially in Milford Sound.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend Active NZ to everyone .
Wouldn't mind coming back again to spend some time with the Kiwis.

North Island Volcanic Adventure

While not as 'exciting' as the South Island there's much to see in the North such as the volcanoes and Maori culture, and the Kauri trip gives one a good taste of that. While the southern part of the North Island is not visited (so no Mount Taranaki) one sees enough of the North Island on the trip to get an overall sense of the island in a short period of time.

A very good trip. While not all the highlights are visited (Kaikoura, Tasman Bay, Doubtful Sound etc. are not on the itinerary) there are enough of them (Franz Jozef Glacier, Milford Sound, Queenstown etc) that the Tui trip is a great way to get a sense of all the South Island has to offer in a hands-on and engaged way and in a relatively short space of time.

We loved our Dec-Jan Tui trip. The guides (Etienne and Megan) were incredible, the experiences beyond memorable and the entire trip was perfectly organized down to the smallest detail. Active NZ is very professional and the trip was an excellent value for the money. This trip was the first week of our three-week tour of NZ. We would recommend that anyone who is spending time in NZ start their trip with an Active NZ trip. It is an excellent way to get oriented in the country and learn from the guides about other places that you might want to go. We really had a blast with Active NZ.
