Great 4.0
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.

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!

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.

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.

Had a lovely day out with our guide John, who entertained us the whole way with his tales and humour. Do note that this is the version of the tour without the TranzAlpine railway, and they will combine both tour groups. You can still get on the train with their help, but it’s cheaper to just get the train package tour from the start. John helped to sort us out and the ride was definitely worth it!

It was the safest bus tour we’ve ever had! A huge thank you to our two drivers on the journey from Queenstown to Mt Cook, and to our transfer driver from Mt Cook to Christchurch. Your professionalism, safe driving, and friendly service made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. You made our holiday in New Zealand truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a safe, scenic, and enjoyable long-distance tour. Thank you for the wonderful experience! 😊

What to know before visiting Christchurch

Quick snapshot of Christchurch and what people book

Christchurch’s most-booked experiences on Klook are nature and culture-focused: zoos & aquariums, museums, and guided tours lead the way. Demand rises and falls through the year, with clear high and low months that shape when attractions are busiest.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

Klook booking data shows October is the busiest month while January is the quietest. Prices move independently at times: bookings peak in October, but Klook’s historical prices are highest in January and typically lowest in December. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in December or in the quieter shoulder months; for the peak-season atmosphere and more activity choose October.

Tips for travellers from Singapore

Most travellers from Singapore tend to finalise activities close to departure: typical Klook lead time is short, often around a day, though some travellers book up to two weeks ahead. That flexibility means you can plan a spontaneous Christchurch trip and still lock in popular experiences on Klook, but if you’re travelling in the busiest months consider booking earlier to secure preferred time slots.
