The Rimu trip was everything and more than I hoped for. The guides were truly outstanding - everyone should hope to get Ele and Amelia!! Thank you both for making a great trip really special. All the guides we were involved with went the extra mile. Active NZ has a great capacity to think on its feet when weather made planned activities unsafe. Alternates were found, schedules were juggled with nary a glitch. The sites we visited, and the places we stayed were unique, and I think a great representation of what NZ has to offer. Might have to come again and do a different trip!

Great trip with excellent guides in Amelia and Amanda. Given that the trip is catering for different folk with different goals and expectations from the trip, I do not think it could be improved upon. Well done and thanky ou to all concerned at Active New Zealand. Kind Regards, Mark Gordon

I thought I was going to have a great time but this trip surpassed all my expectations. From the fun but challenging hikes to the awesome dinners, every detail was covered. All the guides were professional and knowledgeable - which left me to focus on one thing, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful part of the world I was in.

We had a great trip. Toni & I gathered 10 of our friends for our Rimu adventure. We want to thank ANZ for working through some weather difficulties, such as the air bridge after 2 feet of rain on the Wet Coast. Our guide Kate was willing to drive as long as she could to get to Milford Sound, but unfortunately the road did not open in time to attempt a visit. The South Island was as magnificent as we had been told. We stayed at places with awesome views. Our guides "Darling Amazing Amanda" & "Kiss Me Kate" were exceptional. They worked extremely hard to make our adventure a great trip.

The trip was Amazing! We hiked through some of the most beautiful areas, ate some great food, mountain biked through some tough areas, and rafted the Black Waters of Waitomo! But even more spectacular than that, our guide Pieke was too cool! very knowledgable, crazy friendly, way high-energy, but still so patient and encouraging. Even when disagreements arose in the group, she handled it like a seasoned pro. When I go back to New Zealand, I plan to go through Active again. One thing I would suggest, however, is that you keep the caves. Taking it out for anything else would be a mistake. It was one of the highlights of the trip for myself. The glow worms in the dark reminded me of a great dreamscape!
Great trip! And thank you Pieke!

Having done many adventure/climbing/trekking trips over the past few decades, I don't think any company has impressed me more than Active New Zealand. Our two guides (Ben & Nick) worked tirelessly to insure we all had a fabulous time. Their competence, humor, and knowledge greatly added to our trip. Active New Zealand also demonstrated outstanding back-office support regarding changing weather conditions and trip itinerary. We will definitely use Active New Zealand on future trips... THANKS, David Thurman

New Zealand is like Hawaii on Steroids; Amazingly beautiful and exciting. Mahalo Lina and Natalie! Lina and Natalie's passion made the South Island come alive, I can't imagine it could have been any better. It's been said over and over but this truly is an amazing adventure with top-notch guides. Mahalo!

The Rimu trip was more amazing than I ever imagined it could be. The guides were awesome and entertaining and the views were spectacular! I will never forget the views of Mount Cook from Braemar Station or those darn sandflys from Milford Sound :) I can't wait for our next ACTIVE adventure!

New Zealand is an incredibly beautiful country and seeing it "on foot" certainly gets you up close and personal with the amazing views and the diversity of the environment. The weather didn't exactly cooperate - torrential rain for four days - it didn't "dampen" our enjoyment of hiking the rain forests. We appreciated Dan and Sarah's backup hikes to those that had to be cancelled. We loved it, we loved every hike and every experience, we did not want to come home!

A great groupe, professional guides and a varied and memorable trip with biking, hiking and kajaking. On kayaking we were nearly crashed by an orka, I will never forget it. It was a great time and I can really recommend the Rimu tour.

By far my favorite trip I've ever been on. The guides were great and handled everything, not once was I worried about anything. Not to mention the hikes, kayaking, and cycling was so much fun and the views ridiculous.

Our guides, Lina and Nanette, met our every need, and went the extra mile, always anticipating needs we didn't know we even had!! We felt we received extra attention (maybe age related). Safety was their highest priority. Judgment and leadership skills that Lina posesses are of the highest level. They both work very hard. Little things, like special snacks and the fruit basket hit the spot. We have experience on similar great adventures, and this was right up there with the best.

Oh the guided life
To the morn
On foot for fowl to see
A group is born
Each day full of fruit
To tramp, to step, to paddle
Each eve, questions of our suit
New friends with guides
To the bus we go
Rides and rides
Wonders pointed to
Green forever to the sky
Rivers and ice so blue
Ah The Guided Life
How I miss you

Peru is such a rich country and experiencing the highlights like climbing Dead Women's Pass along the Inca Trail, living among the sounds of the Amazon and then staying with a family to share their life and traditions - unforgetable.

Active New Zealand really knows how to put on a trip. We had an amazing experience in the South Island, and we will forever remember our honeymoon because of it.
