Remarkable Adventures is a unique collection of small group, multi-activity New Zealand adventure tours. These tours are suitable for people of all ages and of average fitness - not necessarily the hardened sportsperson! They are aimed at those sophisticated travellers seeking a guided active New Zealand vacation, which includes the "honey pots" but also steps aside from the mainstream to explore the less visited side of the country.
Our tours provide the intimacy of small groups combined with the opportunity to get off the beaten track. We get to experience Kiwi hospitality and to enjoy the comfort of quality accommodation all under the watchful eye of our knowledgeable, professional guides.

Either as a 14 day tour of both islands, 9 day tour of the South Island or a 6 day tour of the North Island.

Why Travel to New Zealand?

This is hiker heaven, with a superb variety and splendour of landscapes, from glaciers to subtropical forests, but hosting no deadly land creatures, New Zealand has some of the safest, prettiest, great walks of the planet. The government has encouraged eco-friendly hiking track development through some exquisite areas.
New Zealand is also good for other more lunatic outdoor activities, has many miles of excellent beaches, is small, easy to get around, inexpensive and English speaking.
There's a lot of budget accommodation available and the local people are relaxed and friendly.

However, in terms of exotic culture there's not much happening [why do you think locals started throwing themselves off bridges attached to a rubber band?], though Maoris do touristy face-pulling on demand and Auckland has some Polynesian offerings.
Sand flies [wicked bloodsucking midges] are omnipresent, and not just in sand.
