I can't thank you guys enough for first - just creating the Rimu trip. It's an unbelievable adventure and, in my humble opinion, the very best way to experience the beautiful South Island of New Zealand. Second, your execution of the trip was second to none. My husband and I had a few special circumstances surrounding our Rimu: we had some bad weather at home that caused us to get in to NZ a day and a half late and - it was our honeymoon! The Active NZ crew was amazing the face of delay (getting us there, greeting us with an amazing welcome at the airport complete with confetti and, I'll admit, tears of joy from me! - and reuniting us with our bags and getting us into the trip and the group as though we never missed anything), and gave the trip several special 'honeymoon'Â touches. Our guides, Lina and Sarah (and Kate on her training trip) were top-notch. They were funny, engaging, so knowledgeable, it was a pleasure to spend two weeks with them. The Rimu allowed us to experience your magnificent country as it was meant to be: we were care-free, we learned and did so much, we met beautiful people, we ate like kings and queens, we caught rugby fever I could go on for hours. :) I'll stop rambling and end with this: because of our trip with Active, we would most definitely come back to Aotearoa, and would also most definitely book another trip with Active (in NZ or elsewhere). Sweet as.
