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, a 2007 Condé Nast Traveler Recommended Travel Specialist for New Zealand designs 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!

Choose a carefully pre-designed self-drive itinerary from our website or have us create the vacation of your dreams and discover New Zealand, the active way!
