"It was far and away the most enjoyable active trip we've done. I really enjoyed seeing parts of the country that you wouldn't normally see as a visitor. It has made us really think about what we want to do when we go travelling in the future (cities just don't seem as interesting anymore) and has sparked an interest to find out what hiking trails and facilities are available here in Canada. "

MEET OUR GUIDES:

ACTIVE NEW ZEALAND adventure travel guide
Gemma van Beek
"Gemma! A very special girl! She might not be in the 'limelight' but she certainly stands on her own as an excellent guide! I loved her! Her cooking was fantastic, and she relates well with everyone! I really enjoyed her company! This was my first guided trip and my expectations were low. You greatly exceeded them! It was all due to the excellent guides we had. It could have been a very different experience without Barry and Gemma. I think we got the best!! Their enthusiasm for the adventures, their love of the country and their special service made the trip 'special' for each and every one of us."
