Traveler reviews
Not a cloud in the sky
Hannah had great information and stories throughout the entire day, she gave us clear timings and everything ran so smoothly! We were very lucky with the weather and the hooker track being reopened!
A magical day!!
We had an absolutely fantastic day!! Abbey was wonderful!! She shared interesting history about New Zealand along the way and took the time to connect with every single guest. It was very obvious that she loves what she does!! And Mt. Cook itself was simply magical. We did the Hooker Valley Track, and it was spectacular!! Also, Abbey made great stops to and from the mountain, which added to the trip. Thank you!!
Aoraki/Mount Cook tour review
Great guide, great pick up/drop off, great tour itinerary. Long drive but it was more than doable in the nice Mercedes van. Always happy to support a local business; even happier when said local business is good at what they do. Would book again! PS everyone should do the Lake Hooker trail. 10km return of mostly flat terrain, with stunning views on an easy established path. See photos attached!
Great tour, great guide!
Had a great experience with Cheeky Kiwi Travel yesterday! The trip was well organised, and everything ran smoothly. A special shout out to our tour guide and driver, Paul, who was awesome, friendly and knowledgeable, and made the journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and hassle free tour.
Mt Cook day trip from Queenstown
Wow what an incredible day out, I cannot recommend this tour enough! We were lucky to have Paul as our driver and guide who was so friendly, knowledgeable and just wanted to give us the best experience possible even if that meant more racing round and work for him. Being a small group allowed for some flexibility, Paul constantly checked in with everyone to make sure they were comfortable and what everyone was wanting to do and get out of their free time in Mt Cook. Paul was able to arrange a helicopter flight for several of us even though it was booked out when he first called (highly recommend the Tasman taster flight) and still gave us time to enjoy a hike on the hooker after the flight so we got to experience the best of both! Paul even added in an extra viewpoint stop on the way back for us to enjoy. Mt Cook is absolutely beautiful and 100% can recommend traveling with the cheeky kiwi to get the most out of your day. Thanks again Paul for a great day out, your hard work didn’t go unnoticed to make our day and the tour was one of my highlights of my trip to the South Island!
