Christchurch to Queenstown Full-Day Tour with Mount Cook

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!

This was a wonderful experience. We had 16 people in our group. Our Mini Bus was full. The luggage was put in the back in a trailer and locked up for the day. We felt like it was safe and out of the way. We traveled with Diana in the morning from Christchurch to Mt Cook. She was well organized and very informative all along the journey. We went to each stop and were given just enough time to get a few pictures, stretch, and use the WC. We stopped longer in a few places as needed, for coffee and pie and to purchase some salmon. Diana always had a smile and did an amazing job. Her mini bus was very comfortable. I am a bigger person as were many others on this journey. Her seats were more bench like and my back and hips felt great the whole journey. We exchanged buses after exploring around Mt Cook for two hours. At this point we were with Johnathan. We switched our luggage and got on his mini bus to head to Queenstown. His bus had bucket seats and the WiFi had issues with his microphone. The bucket seats are not comfortable. He needs a new bus (my opinion). Jonathan is funny and good with people. He is very smart and loves to tell jokes. His play on words is fun. He was also informative. We stopped at all the stops. At the end Johnathan dropped us off at each of our hotels. both of our driver/guides were exceptional. They both seemed to love their jobs. The tour is well organized and worth the money.

I had a good time travelling from Christchruch to Queenstown. We were also stopped at several places like Mt. Cook, Tasman Glacier, Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, Lindis Pass, Orchrdas and High Country Salmon. If you are travelling from Christchurch to Queenstown, you will be transferred into other van in Mt Cook. Don't worry, the driver is as welcome as the first one. Overall good experience, thank you!

I highly recommend this trip if you are short on time and you want to do lake tekapo and mt cook while on your way to queenstown. it was a great experience and we managed to go to all the stops indicated in the itinerary. we were at queenstown at around 6:30 pm.

Upon boarding, we were given a bag of snacks. The driver was also our guide and provided dedicated explanations throughout the journey, allowing us more time for hiking. The scenery along the way was beautiful, especially climbing Mt. Cook, which was stunning, and the other location was beautiful as well. It was truly worth participating. Lunch consisted of a bag with sandwiches, cake, and fruit. Lastly, the driver was kind enough to take me to my accommodation.

It was a small group but great. We visited many important attractions. Although the only drawback was that we only stayed at each attraction for 10 to 15 minutes because we had to catch up with the itinerary and the distance was far, it was a good idea for those who don't drive but want to visit several attractions. It's a great choice.

The trip from Christchurch to Queenstown by tour van was great! The ride was smooth and comfy, and our driver was really friendly and helpful. We stopped at beautiful spots like Lake Tekapo and Mt. Cook. The views were stunning all throughout. Highly recommend this tour if you want a stress-free and scenic way to get to Queenstown.

Great tour if you are short on time and want to see the lakes and Mt Cook on your way to Queenstown. The itinerary was well organized and the tour guides were very knowledgeable about the places we went to. Comfortable vans with wifi on board. Packed lunch, snacks and water provided. Highly recommend!

Fantastic and Fun Trip with Cheeky Kiwi! I recently booked a travel experience with Cheeky Kiwi via Klook, and it was a fantastic and fun way to travel between cities. This tour is perfect if you’re looking to explore the Mackenzie region, including Lake Tekapo and the Mount Cook trek. Despite the bad weather, our guide Diana was incredibly helpful and attentive to everyone’s needs. She provided umbrellas, and the lunch pack from Fairlie Bakery was generous and delicious. The food and snacks were more than enough, and Diana’s attention to detail was impressive. As a local, Diana shared valuable information about what to expect and ensured we were well-informed. She dropped us off and picked us up from different destinations seamlessly. On our way to Christchurch, we had another driver, Rob, who took us towards Queenstown. The scenery was breathtaking despite the weather, and we got to experience everything listed in the itinerary. Both guides were approachable and did their best to answer all the questions from the group. The entire experience was awesome, and I highly recommend this tour!

A good way to move from Christchurch to Queenstown. Cal, our tour guide, was very nice and have some interesting commentaries along the way.
