I had a wonderful time on my trip! It was exactly what I needed and was looking for; two weeks to reconnect with nature and see parts of New Zealand I'd have only been able to find on foot, by kayak, or by bike. I know I wouldn't have seen or done as much as I did had I not signed up with Active Adventures! I'll definitely go on another trip with them in the future.

This trip was amazing - full of jaw-dropping scenery (mountains, glaciers, rivers, cow pastures and more) that I'll never forget. The hiking isn't always easy but we were always rewarded throughout with inspiring views. As we hiked from France to Italy to Switzerland, our experienced guides Jean Marc and Andy were able to keep us moving while providing ample time to appreciate the surroundings. The hotels and inns on the trip were clean and comfortable and the food and wine was delicious. I honestly can't think of anything that could be improved! Thanks Active, for a great adventure!

This active adventure was wonderful for me. In fact, one of the best trips I have ever taken. I loved the trekking, fellow trekkers, guides, food, history, etc. All of it. What an amazing, beautiful, fun vacation. I feel so fit!

I like lists, so here is my list from this tour:
Locations - Spectacular. I didn't think that it would be quite so amazing. The locations that Active Adventures chose for our hiking/kayaking/biking were better than I would have found on my own.
Logistics - Top-notch. So nice to have everything sorted from start to finish. The only surprises were of the good variety. Not everything went quite to plan, but the backing of Active Adventures made sure that any issues were solved quickly. Comfortable van and safe driving to a broad range of activities. You need two weeks to see "all" of the South Island. Yes, I'm sure that there are even more great places to visit ... another time.
Activities - Just difficult enough. Everyone made it through the activities ... some a bit faster than others, but the guides' support left everyone smiling at the achievements.
Guides - Awesome. They were professional, enthusiastic, patient, and hard working. Well done to whomever recruits for Active Adventures.
Group - Great people. I know that you can't control this aspect (similar to the weather), but the Guides did a good job of making everyone feel welcome and I really enjoyed the range of people that I met.
Value - Great value for money. The meals were hearty, the activities were all well done (good bikes, quality kayaks, etc.), and the accommodations were all clean and well maintained (even the lodges on the 3-day hike).
Weather - Almost perfect ... we did have a bit of rain, but it comes and goes, so you can enjoy the scenery even on the worst days. (btw - yes, I know that Active Adventures didn't control the weather, but they did manage to tailor the timing of our hikes to avoid any rain showers), so they still get some gold stars for that attention to detail.
Overall - Just do it. I moved from the States to Australia a few years ago, but I hadn't ventured to NZ until this trip. Oops. Who knew that such an incredible place was just across the Tasman? Well, I guess all of the travel website imploring us to go there ... yeah, they are right. It's amazing.
Would I go again? Absolutely.
Would I recommend Active Adventures? Definitely.

This is my second trip with Active and it didn't disappoint. The food, accommodations, the guides and the sites were all awesome. Jean-Marc is a great guide with a ton of knowledge and great stories. Andy was a great guide and there to offer encouragement when needed. The area is so beautiful and I feel lucky that I had the chance to experience the country. This will not be my last Active Adventures trip. I would recommend the trip to anyone, but be sure to get in shape first. The hiking is no joke.

Andrew and Jean Marc are the best! They feed off of each other, with knowledge, professionalism and a great sense of humor. It makes the long days so enjoyable that I wanted to keep on trekking. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

Varied experiences. Saw much of Peru which many people don't get to experience.
It was a perfect trip to take with our grandchildren.
