"New Zealand exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can't think of a more fun way of seeing it than with ACTIVE NEW ZEALAND. The guides were great, the places they took us to were cool, and they fit twice as much into a day than you can ever do if you're trying to arrange everything yourself."

David & Ilona Strull (Nevada, USA) October 2001 Manuka
