Next Trip: New Zealand

Top Reasons to Make New Zealand Your Next Trip

Top Reasons to Book your trip to New Zealand this fall with locally owned and operated Active Adventures:

All-Star Guides: Ever met a New Zealander? Fun, friendly, adventurous … and that accent! Yeah, they’re pretty great people, and exploring New Zealand with Kiwi-owned and operated Active Adventures is getting the ultimate local flavor.

No Wasted Vacation Days: Whether you have 5 days or 14, you won’t waste any time getting to the good stuff and enjoying the best of New Zealand.

Hidden Hot Springs, Secret Waterfalls: Active Adventures guides are all locals, born into a world of adventures. So they’ll take you into places even a lot of Kiwis don’t know about!

Tailored Itineraries: Big into hiking the Great Walks? More of a bungee-jumping thrill seeker? Prefer to taste your way through New Zealand’s world-renowned wine regions? Find exactly the trip you want for solo travel, couple travel, or families and friends!

All-Inclusive Ease: Active Adventures is all-inclusive, so you won’t have to reach into your pocket to pay extras. Top-notch meals, comfortable transport & accommodation, amazing guides, and incredible service: It’s all included.

Spring-Loaded: Being in the Southern Hemisphere, New Zealand hits its spring stride from September to November. Longer days and incredible light make the mountains, fiords, glaciers, rainforest, volcanoes, and beaches crisper ... and newborn baby lambs bounce in the fields.

COMPLIMENTARY HELI-HIKE OR SCUBA DIVE: Get a complimentary heli-hike or scuba dive (if you mention Weekend Sherpa). Trip must be booked by October 1, for travel anytime up to November 30th.
