Hi! I am really very happy to have done Tui and Kauri trips recently. Fantastic trips. I had a great time walking, hiking, cycling and kayaking in your beautiful country. Tim, Alexis and Grant were perfect guides. Very helpful and always smiling. I am looking forward to do more trips with Active New Zealand. Thanks a lot for great management. Regards, Anu.

I loved the mix of activities (tried mountain biking, gave the shorts to Elle, won't try it again!), coupled with the mix of nationalities. It was a brilliant group of people. Had been worried about the age of rest of group, but no need, perhaps you could include a senior in your brochure it might give us more confidence.) The guides were superb; informative, helpful and good cooks! I need to go on a diet now. The Tongariro Crossing was wonderful, and not as difficult as expected. I loved the black water rafting, no-one at home believed that I was going into a cave in a wetsuit and rubber ring, they'd all have walked or gone in a boat. Wow, after the initial terror it was awesome. See, I even picked up some of the language! Thank you all so much, I can't wait to come back to see the other side.

Every day's adventure was better and better. Everything was well planned, with enough flexibility to accomodate "gotchas". I was so proud of completing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing - it was a strenuous hike over amazing landscape. The day that really wrapped a smile around my head and had me picking bugs from my teeth was the mountain biking at Whakarewarewa Forest. The trails were amazing and the guides from Planet Bikes, A+. I kept a travel blog of my trip: A Southern Belle's Baedeker http://jennwray.travellerspoint.com/

We went on this trip after finishing up the Tui on the South Island. The Kauri is a trip packed full of things to do. It's incredible what gets done in only 5 days. The Kauri is actually a tougher trip than the Tui, as there are several 19-20 kilometer hikes, interspersed with some real mountain biking. The Tongariro Crossing tramp is the one most of us called "The Pilgrimage". I also accumulated a whole bunch of new scars, by falling off a trail cliff, crashing my mountain bike, and just generally beating myself unmercifully. It was AWESOME! Perhaps the motto for this trip should be "The Kauri...That which does not kill you makes you stronger!" We loved it! Great trip!
