Mt Cook & Lake Tekapo Small-Group Tour

Absolutely wonderful day‑long small‑group tour from Christchurch to Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo! It was a long day on the road, and photo stops at key viewpoints were relatively short. Luckily we got brilliant sunny weather — every single shot turned out stunning without any filter at all . Huge credit to our awesome driver‑guide: Brad! He did an incredible multi‑tasking job. His driving was incredibly smooth and skillful, which gave us total peace of mind. While behind the wheel, he kept sharing fascinating local insights and stories along the way, and it’s really impressive how he could deliver great commentary while navigating these scenic roads so well . This tour packs a huge amount into one day and covers all the iconic must‑see spots. It is perfect for travellers like us who cannot drive but still want to experience all these amazing highlights efficiently. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the South Island!

This was a spectacular experience; we got very lucky with the weather, with barely a cloud in the sky. I planned the trip well, and our knowledgeable, flexible driver made it clear there were opportunities on the way back to stop in places like Fairlie to check out the award-winning bakery. Cheeky Kiwi felt like an excellent operator, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again if I were back in the country.

My wife and I joined the Mt Cook & Lake Tekapo Small Group Tour, and it was easily one of the highlights of our travels. The small group setting made the entire journey feel comfortable, relaxed, and personalized. Our tour guide, Grant, was exceptional. He kept us entertained and informed with great local insights, drove safely, and made sure we hit all the best photo spots at both Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook. It was an amazing day out that my wife and I will cherish for a long time. Thank you, Cheeky Kiwi Travel and Grant, for a flawless experience!

A great day out and wel organised. The weather was against us as we left Christchurch but the sun came out and ensured this was a spectacular trip. Renee kept us entertained with local knowledge along the way. A long day but worth every minute.
