2. Active Adventures
Founded in 1996, Active Adventures
specializes in guided adventure tours
to New Zealand, South America and
the Himalayas, and has maintained
its identity of running small group,
fun and physically challenging
outdoor adventures in destinations
they know and love. Not content
with the status quo, Active
Adventures has spent the last 20
years breaking all the “run of the
mill” tourism rules – their relaxed
style is met with a professionalism
that stands head and shoulders
above the throng of ordinary tour
companies.

3. An Impressive Reputation
Active Adventures has had the
pleasure of guiding thousands of
happy travelers on outdoor
adventures and hiking trips to
unique and stunningly beautiful
destinations. The company believes
that an Active trip can make the
difference between ‘visiting’ versus
really ‘experiencing’ a place. The
company’s founders' original idea of
taking people on outdoor adventures
that challenge them a bit, reward
them a lot, and allow them to
experience a place, is at the heart of
everything Active Adventures does.

4. Thousands of Happy People
Active Adventures has
been offering guided
adventure vacations since
the mid 90’s, so it’s no
surprise they’ve
established a bevy of solid
reviews and repeat guests.
In particular, the company
has earned itself the
badge of being one of the
world’s most experienced
and trusted adventure
operators.

5. Only the Best Guides for Each Small Group
As a priority on each trip, Active
Adventures hand picks only the very best
guides, and never compromises when it
comes to experience, character and local
knowledge. Every guide employed by
Active Adventures is an expert of the
region and in the field.
Active Adventures’ trips have a guest cap
of 14 travelers, less in some places,
allowing flexibility and freedom to do as
much (or as little) as they please.
Another great benefit of traveling with a
small group is the opportunity to get to
know fellow travelers who will become
lifelong friends in no time.

11. Active Hearts Himalaya • In 2015, Active Adventures’ senior
guide in Nepal, Dan Keys, founded
Active Hearts to further support the
Nepalese people, hoping to return
the kindness and generosity these
guides and porters have shown him
and the wider team. Following the
devastating earthquake on April
25th, the grassroots non-profit now
aims to provide assistance in the
village of Gogane.
