Active Adventures

Now that you’ve explored every inch of your backyard, and house, and the internet – you’re probably itching to reconnect with friends and family and get back out adventuring in the great outdoors. We get it – the virtual tours aren’t doing much for us either anymore.

When we dream of travel, most of us go to places in our minds that are far from our own backyards. However, this is set to change for many Kiwis as we collectively begin to look for an adventure closer to home. Your plans for a midwinter European adventure being canned now gives you the unprecedented opportunity to see some of New Zealand’s best without the usual tourist buses or people getting in the way of your perfect shot. If you’ve always wanted to discover Milford Sound or bring your family to a real backcountry experience, now is a better time than ever.

With over two decades of experience up their sleeves guiding thousands of happy travelers around the world, Active Adventures take the hassle and risk out of organizing your trip. You might think you know New Zealand, but their knowledgeable Kiwi guides will show you some of the country’s best-kept secrets.

Here’s why you can say ‘no’ to organizing a trip by yourself, and instead get your family or group onto an Active Adventure.

1. They’ll cater for all abilities

All their trip itineraries include a detailed breakdown of the ‘activity level’ involved, from ‘What’s the Rush’ right through to ‘Challenge Accepted’. They also provide detailed distance and elevation information for each hike, so you know exactly what you’re in for and you can make educated decisions about which trip is right for you. Within each trip they also have many options available like add-ons for those keen for more, or ‘let’s just chill’ options for those who’ve reached their capacity for the day. Their guides are also there to help and encourage you through some of the more challenging activities that you might not feel so comfortable doing alone!
