If you are looking for a trip that is both fun, enjoyable, and keeps you active, this is the trip for you. The scenery is something you will only believe when you see it. Every day was better than the previous one. The direction that we traveled, W trek first, then Argentina was the best. The weather was mild, a little cold and windy in the mornings, but after hiking for a few minutes you were ready to take off a layer or two.

New Zealand February (winter/summer) 2013. The Active New Zealand Manuka trip exceeded my expectations, probably because of our guides, Lina and Amanda B, who were smart, witty, nice, accommodating, fun and very competent. They went out of their way to be helpful and supportive of all our needs. Also, the itinerary and hikes were well planned and the country very beautiful. The food was good and the accommodations generally good, especially in Queenstown. Lina's handling of the handover to Ultimate Hike for the Milford track part of the trip was well done; we appreciated her meeting us on our return. Really great trip.

Amazing guides, swimming, kayaking, mountain biking, backpacking, mountains to the beaches -- this was a fantastic South Island experience. We took in some optional adventures, like the helicopter to the glacier, bungy jumping, jet boating and luge. The sky is the limit, all the fun and adventure you'd ever want.

Really enjoyed our time on this tour. Our guides, Pieke and Natalie, were both fun, energetic, organized and attentive. Great food, great locations and a great flavour of the North Island. We ended this trip satisfied, but wanting to come back and see more.

It would seem to be impossible to construct a trip that covers so much of the South Island, includes a significant level of activity (hiking, kayaking, and some biking), and not too much bus time, but this trip does it. Combine that with guides that were friendly, accommodating, extremely professional and capable, and high-energy, and this was an amazing trip all the way around. In two weeks, we experienced a great deal of what the South Island has to offer, and we did it without becoming part of the bus-load hoardes. The small group size and the more remote lodging choices really enhanced the experience. Finally, traveling with our own custom chef really was a bonus - not only was the food terrific, but we didn't spend a lot of time trying to get into and out of restaurants. The logistics of the trip were seamless, allowing us to spend the most time possible enjoying the landscape and activities. Can't say enough good things!

I truly enjoyed touring with Active South America. Our guides did a wonderful job of sharing Patagonia with us. Everyone in our group was age 50+. We all were able to complete each hike and see the great sites Patagonia has to offer.

The whole experience was amazing. This is one of those out-of-the-ordinary, trips that only a few (if any) can offer. The guides shared their vast knowledge and love of the island with us and hidden treasures that few "tourists" will ever see. I feel privileged to have been a part of it.

Everything exceeded our expectations and they were pretty high to begin with! Beautiful scenery. Fun adventures. We took close to 500 pictures in New Zealand and have completed putting a photo album together on-line. Wow did that take some time! Cristina and Ben were super, food was great and they were so accomodating. Even for us middle-aged flatlanders in Kansas! THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF WORKING WITH US AT ACTIVE NZ!!!

Early risers, breakfast ready, bush coffee to charge our brains, smiling, cheerful "good morning, Grace" from DK & Amelia. Can you imagine herding cats, in this case Americans & Canadians, through a schedule of any kind? Well, our patient, knowledgeable, funny, loveable guides did. Our summer Rimu trip gave us a great taste of the scenic beauty of the South Island and many of the adventures waiting to be had there. If you like walks/hikes challenging and strolling, getting wet in water of all temperatures, sea kayaking, biking on moderately challenging tracks/trails, visiting village pubs and city restaurants, eating healthy and well, and meeting new friends -- then turn your trip to New Zealand over to Active NZ. They made it so easy to have a wonderful time. Thanks, you guys!

This was truly the trip of a lifetime. I couldn't believe how close you can get to the animals. The snorkeling was absolutely amazing. January was definitely a good month to go. It was breeding season for many of the animals, so many of them were flashing their bright colors and very active. I think there were more animals than people. On another note, Pepo, our tour guide was the best. He was so knowledgeable about the history of each island and knew so much about all of the animals and fauna around us. He was very patient and professional. He truly was a great guide. I highly recommend him. I would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore the islands.

Charles (64), Brady (20) and I (43) were were all absolutely thrilled by our trip. We couldn't have imagined being more active or more adventurous and even all bungee jumped! Our guides were fantastic, brought together a disparate group of people into a cohesive whole, showed us things we would never have done had we been traveling by ourselves, let us be crazy, and were just out and out fun. Thank you for a trip we will always remember!
