Scenic South Island Road Trip

We really enjoyed the tour with Hannah, her energy is contagious! The entire drive was beautiful and filled with gorgeous landscapes and fun tidbits about New Zealand.

Hanna who was half way with us, she was very lovely. Then Paul was great as well. Thank you.

Traveling from Queenstown to Christchurch with Cheeky Kiwi Travel was the perfect way to experience the South Island. Although it was a full day, the journey was paced really well, with plenty of photo stops, bathroom breaks, and opportunities to take in the incredible scenery without ever feeling rushed. Rosie was an amazing tour guide, her commentary was engaging, informative, and gave us a much deeper appreciation for New Zealand's history, wildlife, and nature. We learned so much that we never would have discovered on our own. The stunning views, thoughtful itinerary, and excellent guiding made the long drive fly by. I would absolutely recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel to anyone looking to make the most of the journey between Queenstown and Christchurch.

I had a wonderful experience on the journey from Queenstown to Christchurch. Breaking up the drive with several stops, especially at Aoraki/Mount Cook, made the trip feel like an adventure rather than just transportation. The hikes were a highlight, and the scenery along the way was absolutely spectacular. Our driver, Lynette, truly made the day special. She was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating facts and local insights throughout the journey, while also being kind, cheerful, and welcoming. Her positive energy made the long drive fly by. I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling between Queenstown and Christchurch. It's the perfect way to see some of New Zealand's most breathtaking landscapes while enjoying a comfortable and well-organized trip.

We booked a point-to-point transfer tour from Queenstown to Christchurch with an early morning pickup on June 26th, and it was hands-down the best decision we made. Even before the trip started, the customer service was excellent. I was a bit unsure about the arrangements beforehand and sent a few emails, but the reception team responded quickly with full, helpful details every time. Everything for the trip was perfectly well-prepared, and they even sent us a few reminders before the trip to ensure we stayed safe. The driving throughout the journey was incredibly safe. Our morning guide was full of energy despite the long hours on the road, sharing fascinating background stories about New Zealand. What really blew us away was that the guides aren’t just doing this as a job—they genuinely love the NZ landscape and are passionate about their work. They took us to secret, stunning viewpoints that we would have completely missed if we had driven ourselves, allowing us plenty of time for photos without feeling rushed. Their boss even called the lady during our trip to check the traffic, since the road was blocked due to snow the day before. What a detailed and thoughtful arrangement to make sure we could safely enjoy the great journey and views! They were also extremely thoughtful. We were worried about hiking around Mt Cook in just our running shoes, but the guide provided us with ice spikes so we could safely walk on the ice, along with water and snacks. When we reached the next leg, the handoff to their partner was seamless. The lady who took over was very thoughtful and incredibly responsible; she checked that we hadn’t left anything behind and waited patiently with us until the next vehicle arrived. For the final drop-off in Christchurch, the gentleman driver asked each of us for our specific hotels and drove us straight to our doorsteps safely and right on time. This tour gave us an amazing impression of New Zealand and this travel agency. Thank you very much for such an incredible, well-organized experience—we will definitely recommend you to all our family and friends! (P.S. Sorry for the late review, just finally got settled down! I also forgot their names, but they both gave us such amazing help. Please pass a huge thank you to them! ) Travellers from Hong Kong
