The tour is packed in one day. Very reasonable and worth the price. Our tour guide Andy is a safe driver, good at communicating and was also very generous in stopping at other beautiful spots apart from listed itinerary to take some shots. highly recommended.

This would be by far my best tour ever! And I get to have the front seat during the trip. Our tour guide and driver by the name of Jason - he is nothing but awesome and very cool during our entire trip. He is very knowledgeable and knows Queenstown, Aoraki Mount Cook and other places we've been to very much. I also miss that music playlist that you have, Jason. Lol. Anyway, I joined the Mount Cook and Tasman Glacier tour. We had a couple of stopovers wherein we were able to take photos and selfies especially during the drive to Mount Cook. The view there was nothing but Amazing! He also shared about the story of Shrek the sheep. Snacks and water provided and he kept us well fed and hydrated. I cannot recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel enough and especially Jason who made the trip, us his passengers safe and relaxed and enjoyed this whole excursion. I will surely book my future travels soon with Cheeky Kiwi. Cheers!

Highly recommended itinerary! 👍👍 The birthplace of bungee jumping was closed due to snow, so we immediately rerouted to the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge lookout. We passed through a fruit town, visited Lindis Pass, and had lunch at a salmon farm, where there were many delicious meal options. We saw the milky blue Lake Pukaki and finally arrived at Mount Cook to see the Tasman Glacier, marveling at the beauty and grandeur of nature. The entire round trip was about 11 hours. A big thank you to our private guide, Vera, for the full tour, photos, and explanations. This is a highly recommended itinerary and set of attractions.

We booked a Queenstown to Christchurch transfer tour for June 26th. From the start, communication was seamless; the reception team quickly answered all pre-trip questions and sent helpful safety reminders. Everything was perfectly well-prepared. The driving was exceptionally safe. Our morning guide was high-energy, sharing great local stories. The guides clearly love their jobs and the NZ landscape, taking us to secret viewpoints with plenty of photo time. Their boss even called ahead during the trip to check road conditions after recent snow—a thoughtful touch. They also saved our day at Mt Cook by providing ice spikes when we realized our running shoes weren't enough, alongside water and snacks. The transition to the next leg was seamless. The lady who took over was highly responsible, ensuring we forgot nothing and waiting with us. Finally, our Christchurch driver safely dropped everyone off right at their respective hotels on time.

My family and I had a wonderful time throughout the 13 hour van ride from Christchurch to Queenstown. The cost of the tour is well worth it, since we were able to enjoy all the sights and stops we made. The snacks and lunch were also delicious and filling. Rosie picked us up from our hotel and took us to Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook, while Abbie drove us from Mt Cook to High Country Salmon Farm and then to our Queenstown accommodation. The ride itself felt comfortable and safe. There were 3 vacant seats in Rosie's van, while Abbie's was full with 16 people inside. This was a really fun way to get around. Will definitely recommend Cheeky Kiwi to friends and family!

I really love the trip. We had enough time to take lots of pictures without feeling rushed at every landmark. Unfortunately, I went the wrong way so I didn’t see the glacier. Overall I would say the tour guy is really knowledgeable. Taking care of everyone on the trip so I highly recommend you if you want to go on a tour from Queenstown to Tekapo Talk to us about a lot of knowledge and history about New Zealand so I didn’t get bored during the trip and he also took care of everyone on the trip so I highly recommend you if you want to go on a tour from Queenstown to Tekapo

One of the most comfortable and well curated travel tours. Pick-up from my hotel to the destination with enough time to eat lunch and enjoy the view.

I went there for Mount Cook, but I also got to eat salmon and see the lake, so it was a great value with lots of activities! We had a transfer along the way, and both of our guides were wonderful people.

What to know before visiting Cromwell

Quick snapshot of Cromwell’s travel scene

Cromwell’s most-booked experiences on Klook are Tours and outdoor & sports activities, and demand shows clear seasonal swings across the year. Booking volume clusters around the warmer months while quieter periods appear later in the calendar, giving the town a pronounced high- and low-season rhythm.

Best times to visit and what to expect

Klook booking data shows the busiest months fall in December, while November typically records the lowest demand. Prices drift through the year too: they’re typically lower around November and climb to their peak in December. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, plan for November; if you’re after the full peak-season atmosphere despite higher costs, December is the time to visit. Overall, demand and prices move together here — the busiest month is also the priciest.

Tips for travellers

Most travellers book about three weeks ahead on Klook, with a useful window of last-minute availability roughly two weeks out and the earliest bookings made around eight weeks. If you’re flexible, you can often secure activities a few days before travel, but for peak-month plans consider locking things in earlier. Use Klook to compare Tours and outdoor activity options and reserve what fits your schedule.
