Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Beliggende på den spektakulære Crown Range Road mellem Queenstown og Wānaka, er Cardrona Hotel et af New Zealands ældste og mest ikoniske hoteller. Dens rustikke charme, spektakulære bjergomgivelser og rige historie gør det til et must-see i det centrale Otago.
Vi går en tur ned til søbredden for at se det ikoniske billede af Wānaka-træet. Nyd skønheden i denne vidtstrakte sø med Mt Aspiring i baggrunden og de sydlige alper – et paradis for fotografer.
Når vi krydser den mægtige Clutha-flod, tager vi vestpå forbi den fantastiske Hāwea-sø. Vi stopper for et hurtigt billede ved et udkigspunkt mellem Lake Wānaka og Lake Hāwea.
Beliggende i Mt Aspiring National Park, er de passende navnede Blue Pools et must-see. Denne nemme 3 km rundtur er besværet værd for at opleve Makarora-flodens betagende blå vand.
En let 5-minutters gåtur vil belønne dig med en spektakulær udsigt over Thunder Creek Falls. Dette 28 meter lange vandfald, en rest af en engang så stor gletsjer, strømmer ud fra en hængende dal.
Mens vi går nordpå langs grænsen, hvor gammel regnskov møder havet, stopper vi ved Ship Creek. Grav tæerne i sandet, og mærk sammenstødet fra Tasmanhavets ubarmhjertige bølger. Udforsk klitterne via en nem 1 km vandresti.
Her møder tyk indfødt regnskov det tilsyneladende endeløse åbne hav. Bruce Bay fremviser virkelig det bedste fra vestkysten!
Vi fortsætter til enhver fotografs drøm: Lake Matheson. På en rolig dag kan du fange Mt Cook reflekteret elegant over denne maleriske sø. Denne lette gåtur vil belønne dig med en betagende udsigt over de sydlige alper.

This tour was fabulous, thanks to a great guide, Hanna. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, personable and cheerful. Everything you could want in a tour guide and more. She went above and beyond to inform us all about the history and relevance of every stop of the tour, as well as most of what we were driving past. Our 12 hour tour, from Queenstown to Franz Josef, went by in a flash and we even managed around 16000 steps at the various stops along the way. Plenty of comfort stops, a great lunch at the Hard Antler, in Haast, just added to the value of this tour. Thanks Hanna, and Cheeky Kiwi.. it was a great day.
Thank you for your lovely words about Hanna. She loves to take people on her trips and share our beautiful coastline along the West Coast. It is a world of it's own. We are glad you enjoyed your trip so much.
Great way to transit with intentional sightseeing along the way. Good, quick hits and none of the stops feel overly long.
Thank you for your feedback. That trip is very scenic and it sounds like you enjoyed it. We hope you will travel with us again one day.
Great tour, great guide and a back office that solved all challenges. They know what they are doing and they are good at it ☺️.
We love the kind guide/driver. We like all spots to visit
It was amazing! The nature was impressive even in a rain. The car was comfortable and I really feel myself good with our guide Hannah who was very smart and passionate with her work. She was really interested in telling and sharing with us more about Nzee's animals and plants, nature and it all. I really liked Cheeky kiwi company and will recommended it to all.
We were just 2 people so it was basically a private tour and it was awesome! Udi came with us on the walks pointed out different plants and showed us cool things such as blue mushrooms. He also told us a lot about New Zealand’s history and culture and I could fire away all my questions. The scenery was just gorgeous and we saw some breathtaking places. My personal favorite was our walk at Ship Creek and generally crossing the Alps and entering this lush and dense vegetation! To sum it up: I saw beautiful places, I learned a lot about New Zealand, and we had a lot of laughs on the trip :)
Martin was knowledgeable and he took us to plenty of places. Lunch is included and it’s a good value for money as we stopped by plenty of places. The fee for this tour is only a hundred dollars more than the intercity bus but you get to see places that you wouldn’t normally see. We were lucky to have a good weather and had a glimpse of the glacier in Fox Glove
Wonderful trip, amazing landscapes, very well organized, and Shura is a really nice and friendly driver.
Hanna was a wonderfully enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and personable guide for our day trip to Franz Joseph! She expertly paced our day so we could take in all the dynamic and stunning sights along the way: lakes, mountains, forests, beaches, waterfalls, and glaciers! Hanna did this all while safely driving and traversing the roads. She made a long day feel so memorable and worthwhile with her easygoing nature, extensive knowledge of New Zealand and deep respect for the Māori people and culture. Thank you Hanna!
Thank you for your lovely feedback about Hanna. We will be sure to let her know. We are so pleased you enjoyed your trip through a very spectacular part of our country. Our guides love to share this with our visitors. Thank you for choosing Cheeky Kiwi for your travel.
Fantastic, intimate tour taking in lots of incredible sights on the road between Queenstown and Franz Josef. Colin was a wonderful guide, the lunch was spot on at Hard Antler in Haast (I can recommend the venison burger) and the complimentary WiFi on the minibus was a nice touch. Cheeky Kiwi Travel really do offer a more personalised experience than most and utilising smaller transport means they can get to places the larger buses can’t access. Also, do not pass on the freshly-baked cheese scones at the Cardrona Hotel for breakfast!
So nice that you have taken the time to mention our hard working partners in the food business. they do indeed do great food. It sounds like you had a great trip with Colin and we will pass on your kind comments to him. Thank you for travelling with us.
