Kia Ora!
Kia Ora is a greeting from the New Zealand Māori language and is widely used to say "Hello". Discover New Zealand, the active way! Walk in ancient rainforests, swim with dolphins, kayak on the fjords, soak in natural hot springs, picnic on a remote mountain peak, cycle through vineyards, hike on a glacier, meet the friendly New Zealand people and immerse yourself in our culturally rich, unique and spectacular country.

Active Downunder is a 2013 New Zealand Frommer's Guide & 2007 Condé Nast Traveler Recommended Travel Specialist for New Zealand who design excitingly active and culturally interactive itineraries. Proudly owned and operated by New Zealanders (affectionately known as "Kiwi's") we design every vacation for maximum personal satisfaction from active-oriented adventures like walking, hiking, biking, kayaking and fishing to leisurely getaways featuring remote wilderness and luxury lodges offering fabulous food and wine!

Our itineraries feature 'off the beaten path' areas, fabulous scenery, wildlife and natural wonders, intimate and engaging cultural experiences with knowledgeable local guides, visits to wineries and artisan studios, charming accommodations and always friendly and welcoming Kiwi hosts!   Browse our selection of self drive itineraries or have us create a 'Customized Itinerary' to meet your specific needs and interests.
