Amazing Day.

What an amazing day. Amy was so informative and kept us all entertained the whole day. She was safe and professional! The small bus was comfortable and the boat tour the best. Milford Sound is breath taking. It’s a must do when in Queenstown and Cheeky Kiwi Tours are the ones to do it with!! Best day out.

Excellent day out to Milford Sound / highly recommended

Cheeky Kiwi Travel tour from Queenstown to Milford Sound with Amy - just book it. Easy pickup near our hotel, very comfortable coach and wonderful driving by our host/driver Amy. Amy was an absolute wealth of knowledge and her commentary throughout the journey to Milford Sound was really engaging/interesting. We learned about the history and features of the beautiful areas we drove through, plus opportunities to pull in to have a closer look at special locations. Smaller bus resulted in more personalised service and a better overall travel experience for us. We had regular breaks for rest stops & coffee thoughout the outbound journey with less required on return journey. The lunch pack provided was ample & generous. The cruise through Milford Sound was on a snaller boat that was comfortabie snd not overcrowded. The views and experience aboard the boat were unforgettable with the smaller boats able to get close to the waterfalls. Thanks Amy for giving our family a great day out with excellent driving whilst giving a superb commentary. We wouldn’t have been able to visit Milford Sound without a tour operator like Cheeky Kiwi tours as it would be too long a drive/day from us ex-Queenstown (plus some ice on roafs and twisty country roads, which Amy as a local experienced driver, navigated safely at a decent pace with our pickup at 7am to drop off at 8pm).

It was a wonderful trip. I had a great time thanks to Amy, who was a joy to have as guide. She kept us engaged and made our trip very comfortable.

It was a great tour!

It was a long itinerary, but we were able to visit several spots with related stories and it was quick. The car was comfortable and I enjoyed it to the end, as I was able to rest well during the long journey. Milford Sound was the goal, but the Mirror Lakes Walk was so good! The cafe where we had snacks on the way was also delicious with pies. Our guide RAGHAV made the tour fun and exciting and gave us a good vibe.
