Active Adventures
New Zealand Pioneers in Adventure Travel
Active Adventures is New Zealand’s most globally diverse adventure travel company.
_In typical New Zealand fashion, we applied our pioneering spirit back in the 90’s and began offering incredible, fully guided, outdoor adventures in New Zealand to just a small number of guests. Fast forward 25 years and New Zealand is still absolutely 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. We grew to meet our guests’ desire for diverse adventures, and many travel with us over and over again.
We’ve grown a lot, but we’re still small and very ‘uncorporate’. Our HQ is in Queenstown, New Zealand’s adventure capital, and our leadership team, HQ crew and guides are all very hands-on. No boardrooms and glass offices for our team; you’ll more likely find us collaborating outdoors and definitely 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._
In August 2021 they merged with Austin Adventures based in Montana, USA to create a global adventure company.

Combine the very best of New Zealand's cycling and hiking trails.
Specifically designed for biking enthusiasts, our 14-day New Zealand biking adventure tour explores the very best of the South Island's biking trails, with a few iconic hikes thrown in for good measure.
You may recognize trails such as the Alps 2 Ocean, Central Otago Rail trail and Queenstown Cycle trail, known for their variety of landscapes and breathtaking lookout spots. However, it's the hidden gems like the West Coast Wilderness trail and Hawea River track that will leave a lasting impression on you.
Of course, not every landscape is explorable by bike, so we've included hikes on the Routeburn Track and in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, as well as a cruise on Milford Sound to give guests an all-encompassing adventure of New Zealand finest vistas. Plus, with fully vehicle supported rides, you'll be able to challenge yourself as much or as little as you'd like on our New Zealand Biking Adventure tour.
