Must try experience! Had so much fun at the Farm meeting Alpacas and feeding them. Friendly staff. Very informative.

From the moment, I was picked up at my hotel accommodation to the trip it was nothing but amazing.
The tour driver was very knowledgeable and very ethusiastic during the trip.
All of our itinerary and tourist spots were ticked off.
I highly recommend to do this Tranzalpine tour from Christchurch to Arthur's Pass. It was my first time in Christchurch and I fell in love with the place.
Castle Hill, Otira Viaduct and Devil's Punchbowl Waterfall is a must see + we get to see a Kea bird.
I would surely come back next time.

The whale watching activity was canceled due to bad weather, but the tour guide seemed inexperienced and unable to arrange and execute a backup plan in a timely manner. When we stopped along the way, they also didn't announce the meeting time. Luckily, the group members were quite good and didn't cause any delays. The guide did provide some brief commentary along the way, and there was someone in our group who didn't understand Chinese, but the guide hardly used English to accommodate them.

We had a wonderful private tour to Akaroa and the alpaca farm from Christchurch. Although it was more pricey, the private tour was absolutely worth it.
The highlight of the trip was definitely the alpaca farm. We had plenty of time to feed, pat, and take photos with the alpacas, and we also learned a lot about these gentle animals from the informative session.
Our driver & guide Zhen was friendly, helpful, and incredibly patient throughout the day. We especially appreciated how safely and smoothly he navigated the winding hill roads to the alpaca farm, which made the journey comfortable and enjoyable.
The tour was well organised and relaxed, giving us enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Christchurch and looking for a memorable day out.

It was a last-minute tour booking, but it exceeded all my expectations! The guides were so kind and gave fantastic explanations. Even though my Korean honorifics are a bit rusty and I couldn't catch half of it, when I translated it using GPT, it turned out they were sharing fascinating geological and historical explanations. We made stops along the way to take pictures at great spots. The snacks and the lunch box were totally my style. It was a very satisfying tour. At the end, I wondered what was going on with the people taking the train, and it turned out to be a different package that required an extra fee. I was a bit curious about that too, but on the way back, I just slept soundly on the bus! Thank you.

We had a wonderful Mt. Cook & Lake Tekapo day tour from Christchurch. Special thanks to our guide, Rosy, and her husband, our driver, for their excellent service. They were friendly, accommodating, and made the trip smooth, safe, and enjoyable. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

Since I had plans to stay in Lake Tekapo that day, I emailed to ask if I could be dropped off along the way, and they kindly agreed. Thanks to them having communicated this to the guide in advance, I was able to join the tour without any worries! The two-hour stay at Mount Cook gives you enough time to do the round trip on the beginner hiking trail ^_^ In addition to the guide's commentary inside the vehicle, we were also given snacks and hamburgers as travel companions, making it a very fulfilling tour. Thank you very much!

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!

What to know before visiting Christchurch
What to expect in Christchurch
Christchurch is a compact city where visitors book experiences across Zoos & aquariums, Museums, Tours, Attraction passes and Cable cars, in that order by booking volume on Klook. The city’s rhythm peaks in February and tends to quieten in January according to Klook booking data, so outdoor-focused categories and sightseeing sell best in the busier months while museums and indoor options stay steady year-round. Decide whether you want lively summer atmosphere or uncrowded discovery: choose peak-season energy or quieter exploration. All statements based on Klook booking data.
When to visit and price seasons
Christchurch’s busiest month is February, while January is the quietest month by Klook booking data. Prices swing through the year: the priciest typical bookings were in July and the cheapest in January, so crowd and price peaks don’t perfectly line up — February is busy without matching July’s price high. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for January or the winter months around it; for peak-season atmosphere, plan for February or the busier spring–autumn months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | PHP 1,487 |
| February | Busier than usual | PHP 1,487 |
| March | Busier than usual | PHP 1,665 |
| April | Busier than usual | PHP 1,546 |
| May | About average | PHP 2,200 |
| June | About average | PHP 2,141 |
| July | Quieter than usual | PHP 6,720 |
| August | About average | PHP 5,590 |
| September | About average | PHP 6,660 |
| October | Busier than usual | PHP 5,709 |
| November | Quieter than usual | PHP 6,422 |
| December | About average | PHP 1,665 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Travelers from the Philippines typically book fairly close to travel dates — most Christchurch experiences on Klook were booked about 1 day ahead, while the earliest planners booked about two weeks out. That means you can be flexible and often secure activities a day or two before, but during the busier months such as February it's wise to lock in must-do experiences earlier. Use Klook to compare options and reserve tickets or tours ahead for peace of mind; booking a few days earlier during busy months balances flexibility with availability. All guidance based on Klook booking data.
