Active Adventures

Active Adventures is New Zealand's largest and most globally diverse adventure travel company. In typical ‘Kiwi' fashion, we applied our pioneering spirit back in the '90s and began offering incredible, fully guided, multi-activity outdoor adventures in New Zealand to just a small number of guests. Fast forward 25 years and New Zealand is still at the heart of everything we do, but we now also offer our unique style of Kiwi adventuring across the globe to thousands of guests every year, many of whom travel with us over and over. We offer adventures in New Zealand, Europe, South America, North America, Nepal and Africa. Very ‘un-corporate' and hands-on, there are no boardrooms and glass offices for our team; you'll more likely find us collaborating outdoors and fitting in heaps of hiking, biking, kayaking, climbing and skiing both before and after work. We're driven by our desire to share our own passion for adventure with our guests.
