Since 1973, Wilderness Adventures has been leading student travel adventures around the planet. With 30,000+ alumni and over 50 years of experience, we continue to be leaders in summer youth educational experiences.

Our spirit for adventure was born in New Zealand, our home. Inspired to share our homeland’s natural beauty, Active Adventures began 30 years ago with a simple dream — to welcome kindred spirits from around the world to explore our incredible adventure playground. What started as a few passionate hikers guiding friends off the beaten track in New Zealand has grown to meet our guests' desire for our unique style of outdoor adventure tours around the world. Today our trips feature not only hiking but rafting, kayaking, ziplining and so much more, with unique itineraries in 19 countries across five continents, including destinations such as New Zealand, Patagonia, Peru, Galapagos Islands, Europe, the Himalayas, and Africa. While New Zealand is still our home base, these days we have a passionate team of locals in every destination to make our guest experiences truly special. For a life-changing, rewarding adventure in the most breathtaking places in the world, with expert guides, deep local connections, flexible options and a personalized experience, where everything taken care of, join Active Adventures for a trip of a lifetime.

Since 1992, we've been on a mission to put people safely and securely in the path of beauty to experience meaningful things. As guides and storytellers, we delight in sharing all that we know about the Lowcountry – its lands and waters, its plants and animals and people, and its history and culture – with everyone we meet. BECAUSE TO KNOW THIS PLACE IS TO LOVE IT. AND TO LOVE IT IS TO HELP CARE FOR IT FOREVER.
