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!

Jim is incredibly enthusiastic about service, proactively looking after every member of the group. Everyone looks like a beauty or a handsome person in his photos. He's humorous and friendly. The trip was very enjoyable, Jim gets 100 points!

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.
