Rejseplan
Afrejse Garden City og hoved vest mod bjergene, som din guide deler historier og højdepunkter af Canterbury regionen.
Vandre blandt de dramatiske kalksten rock formationer af Castle Hill, et landskab så slående det blev vist i film som Narnia og Ringenes Herre.
Ankomst til hjertet af de sydlige alper. Vælg at tage Devil's Punchbowl sporet for en time lang gåtur til en spektakulær 131 meter vandfald, eller udforske landsbyen for en bid at spise eller kaffe.

Besøg denne kystlinje, hvor hårde bølger møder stenbrudsvandet, et perfekt stop for fotos af Tasmanhavet.
Nyd lidt fritid til at udforske denne charmerende kystby. Gå langs den sorte sandstrand, se det ikoniske Hokitika skilt, og gennemse lokale kunstbutikker.
Tag en kort gåtur gennem indfødte buske for at undre sig over det turkisfarvede vand i Hokitika Gorge, en af Vestkystens mest fotograferede naturlige steder.
Stop for kort tid ved denne fredfyldte sø omgivet af skov og vådområder, hjemsted for sjældne fugleliv og en fredelig gletsjere.
Ankom i den afslappede bydel Franz Josef, hvor din guide vil tjekke dig ind i dit overnatningssted og dele tips til at udforske områdets gletsjere vandreture og naturskønne flyvninger. Indkvartering i det centrale Franz Josef

The itinerary was perfect with just the right amount of stops. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. In particular our guide Jannis was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, and had a great sense of humor. Would definitely do the trip again.
I cannot say enough good things about this tour! Honestly one of my best travel days yet. I was solo, and my guide, Logan was phenomenal. He had incredible knowledge of the areas, was very accommodating, a great conversationalist, and went above and beyond to make it an amazing day. The cherry on top was a sweet gift from his kids- a rose they made from New Zealand flax leaves. I highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi, and if you’re lucky enough to have Logan as your guide, you’re in for a treat!
Grant and Cosmo were amazing guides! So insightful and polite. Felt very taken care of.
Amazing scenery and well-planned stops to enjoy some local delights, scenic walks, quick photo stops, longer walks. Clear explanations or where to meet after the walks. Our guide Grant (?) was an excellent driver, friendly, very chilled, very knowledgeable. Van was very comfortable and spacious for only 6 of us. Lunch was great. Arrived on time in Franz Josef without feeling rushed. We did everything that was planned. Small downside is that the guide was sometimes hard to understand for a non native speaker (strong local accent). Highly recommend the tour! I learned so much and all the stops were great! I particularly liked Castle Hill, Hokitika beach and the gorge.
Joel was our driver from Christchurch to Fran's Joseph. He was outstanding! He was so knowledgeable, professional and he had so many interesting facts on the flora, farming and culture. We think he was one of the best guides we've ever had. Cheeky Kiwi gave us a spectacular and personalized small group experience. The itinerary was wonderful with at least 10 stops along the way and Joel had interesting history and commentary on each. One was better than the next from Castle Hill seeing where Lord of the Rings was filmed, stunning Arthur's Pass, the Devils punch Bowl, and getting my shoes wet by choice in the crystal beach waters of Greymouth. We felt like we had our own little group on a private trip. The small group made new interactions with people from Finland, Germany, Japan, Canada, China and more. Another treat was the great 80's music he had playing in the background! This tour turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire New Zealand trip. We highly recommend Joel and Cheeky Travel!
Amazing !! Incredible ! the tour was awesome! The guide Nathalie is very amazing, helpful, awesome, always with a big smile, verry kind. I lost my mobile phone and Nathalie and Rosie help me to pick up it. Thank you very much. A must do ! Thanks to Cheeky Wiki Travel, we are so happy to made the tour ! We strongly recommend it !
Really enjoyed the tour with Logan who filled the day with interesting information and responded to questions but never overdid it. The tour was relaxed, Logan didn’t pressure us to maintain a speed and we were able to enjoy the stops and even used leftover time to visit the Franz Josef glacier. Will highly recommend to friends and family, cheers crew.
The trip from Christchurch to Franz Josef was enjoyable and informative. We saw heaps of spots that we would have otherwise missed had we driven, and Paul was an excellent guide. Highlights were the Devil’s Punchbowl for the view and opportunity to elevate the heart rate, and the amazing Castle Hill rocks.
If you are looking for the absolute best way to travel from Christchurch to Franz Josef, look no further. This small-group tour via Arthur’s Pass is not just a transfer; it is a full-day immersive experience that showcases the very best of New Zealand’s rugged natural beauty. What truly elevated this trip from "good" to "unforgettable" was our guide, Joel. From the moment we set off, Joel’s expertise was evident. He managed the day with impeccable timing and planning, ensuring we arrived at every scenic spot—from the majestic Devil’s Punchbowl waterfall to the serene shores of Lake Ianthe—just at the right moment to beat the crowds and catch the best light. Navigating the winding roads of the Southern Alps requires a pro, and we felt completely secure in Joel’s hands. His safe, smooth driving allowed us to relax and soak in the views of the Otira Viaduct and the lush rainforests of the West Coast. Beyond his skills behind the wheel, Joel kept the energy high with endless humor and local stories. He has a gift for making everyone on the tour feel like an old friend, turning a long drive into a day of laughter and discovery. Stopping in Hokitika for lunch and a stroll along the beach was the perfect midpoint. This tour hits the perfect balance of adventure and comfort. If you want a stress-free journey packed with stunning landscapes and great company, book this tour—and hope you get Joel!
Thanks so much for this epic review. We’re seriously stoked you had such a memorable journey and that Joel turned the day into something truly special. He’s a legend at timing the stops, keeping things smooth on the road, and making everyone feel part of the crew. Sounds like a rad mix of big scenery, great laughs, and a stress free adventure which is exactly what we aim for. We’re genuinely grateful we got to host you and we’d love to see you back with us again for another Cheeky Kiwi trip.
Smooth ride, bonus scenic stops, and our guide Yanis was fantastic! A great way to travel from Christchurch to Franz Josef.
