ACTIVE NEW ZEALAND adventure travel guide
Yohn Grajeda
"Yohn is superior at his job in every aspect of the work. Yohn loves what he does and it shows. He made the trip for us extra special. We feel that we have a new friend in a far off land were we can revisit over the years. He made us feel special. He's great with managing the entire operation. I would highly recommend Yohn as the best guide in the area. What an incredible resource he is for building Active South America around into the future. Yohn and his wife are very dedicated employees that are very good at what they do."

"This trip exceeded all of my expectations. It was my first guided trip and I plan to book future trips with Active. I loved that Active truly lived up to their name. I was so involved in all that we were doing that I forgot all of my worries back home. I was impressed by everything! This was the trip of a lifetime!"
