Group Tours Are Making a Comeback — Here's How to Find Ones That Are Actually Fun

"An adventure travel company whose guided hiking-and-biking tour of New Zealand’s South Island drew a traveler who joined a group of six plus two guides and called the experience “above and beyond,” illustrating the appeal of small-group active itineraries for travelers unwilling to wait to realize long-planned wish-list trips. The operator’s format emphasizes guided outdoor activity combined with social group dynamics." - Jennifer Bradley Franklin Jennifer Bradley Franklin Jennifer Bradley Franklin is an Atlanta-based multi-platform journalist and author, specializing in travel, food, interior design, and other lifestyle topics.

My sons and I had an amazing Active Adventure tour in the South Island of New Zealand with two of the best guides, Brayden and Katie! The activities were fantastic and well organized! Highly recommend!

Two weeks hiking in New Zealand's South Island This trip went so far beyond my expectations. The stunning natural environment of New Zealand's South Island, coupled with great walks and our outstanding guides, Brogan and Grace. What an amazing pair they are - funny, knowledgeable, calm and accommodating. They shared their knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology and history of each region we visited. I especially appreciated how they shared their Maori culture. The food was exceptional. Our group became so close as a result of this exceptional tour. Thank you so much Brogan and Grace.

This was our 5th trip with Active Adventures and once again they have delivered. Patagonia had excellent guides, the food and accommodations were excellent and Wow- the scenery. We chose the comfort option and loved it. Kua Rio Serrano was our hotel for this option and it ranks amongst the best places I have ever stayed. Trip was well paced, well organized. Crossing from Chile into Argentina was quite interesting and glad I had a guide for this first experience with this. We encountered a lot of wildlife and our guides, especially Lucia, were extremely knowledgeable about the critters and the flora 😋

Two weeks hiking around New Zealand’s South Island. It was an absolutely amazing trip with beautiful hikes, lovely scenery and our brilliant guides Brogan and Grace! They were super knowledgeable about each place we visited, whether it was about the plants, birds, mountains, the Māori culture or the history of the location. They had us laughing every day and created a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the tour! Grace’s cooking was exceptional and Brogan’s driving was excellent throughout the tour! The group became super close thanks to the wonderful atmosphere the guides created!

11-Day Portugal Beaches & Castles Coastal Bike Tour Beautiful country, beautiful people, excellent & supportive fellow riders and excellent caring guides- what more could a first time multi-day biker ask for? Learned a lot about my stamina and mental fortitude, grew a lot, saw some amazing sights and historic building cand had way too much fun doing all of it.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! My husband and I went on the 14 day walking adventure with Active Adventures, and it was the best thing we could have done. Our guides, Katie and Braden, were great. They have great spirit, deep knowledge of the area, are fun and made the trip special for all of us. Every day was filled with rich insights to this beautiful country. We recommend Active Adventures for the best New Zealand experience EVER!!!!

Great way to do trekking in Patagonia This trip had the great advantage to be able to do trekking in Chile (Torres del Paine) and Argentina (Chalten) plus visiting Perito Moreno Glacier. For me this had the plus that in one long trip you can have the best trekking in both countries. Group was great and guides were first class. Also food and accomodations were very good.

I highly recommend the Galapagos trip. The guide was amazingly informative. The food was delicious and the activities were great. I saw so many animals.
