This was an amazing adventure of a lifetime. Active Adventures did a great job putting together an itinerary that included a wide range of fun activities. We got to experience a lot of the South Island. We went with a group of 9 and we all absolutely LOVED it! Our guides Max, Aleisha, and Sarah were very professional, caring, and made us feel like family! I would 100% recommend this to anyone would is looking to experience the South Island and would like a wide range of fun activities!Show more
