Traveler reviews
Girls road trip to Milford Sound
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Milford Sound. We chose the option of a smaller bus and smaller group of 13 (max 14.) Our tour guide Nicky was engaging and extremely knowledgeable of the history and geography of the region. The long trip was broken up by everal stops and photo opportunities. The trip included a delicious packed lunch, snacks and water. We can highly recommend this tour.
Look no further than Cheeky Kiwi!
This was easily the best trip I’ve done in New Zealand! Our driver Danny was absolutely superb- from start to finish, he made sure we’re well looked after: 1). Prompt pick up and drop off 2). Snacks, lunch and water provided 3). The best playlist ever 4). Looked after his group very well, even when we needed to stop because I felt sick 5). Comfortable and clean vehicle If you’re thinking of booking a tour, look no further than Cheeky Kiwi!
Highly recommended!
Our Milford Sound tour was absolutely incredible, largely thanks to our wonderful driver, Benny. The journey was smooth, and the helicopter ride back to Queenstown was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I even spoke with an American family on the same tour, and we all agreed that this day was the absolute highlight of our entire trip to New Zealand. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting, and I will definitely be back!
Fantastic way to experience Milford Sound
Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The small-group format made the trip feel much more personal and relaxed, and everything was very well organised. The journey from Queenstown is long, but the spectacular scenery along the way makes it part of the experience rather than simply a transfer. Our guide, Danny, was friendly, knowledgeable about NZ and it's ecosystem, engaging and sharing interesting LOTR fun facts throughout the day while still giving us plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. Milford Sound itself was breathtaking, and the cruise was definitely the highlight. Incredible landscapes, waterfalls and dramatic mountain scenery that really have to be seen in person. A long day, but completely worth it. I would highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel and this tour in particular to anyone visiting Queenstown who wants to experience Milford Sound without having to worry about driving or organising everything themselves.
10/10 experience
Our trip to Milford Sound was absolutely amazing! Danny, our driver, was incredibly hospitable and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the journey. He had an excellent playlist, took us to some fantastic spots along the way, and made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. The timing was excellent, and everything was very well organised from start to finish. Highly recommend this trip, especially with Danny as your driver!
