Itinerario
Su recorrido comienza en la impresionante ciudad de Christchurch. A medida que salimos de la ciudad, su guía no solo preparará el escenario para su día de aventuras, sino que también lo señalará y lo guiará más allá de algunos de los lugares más destacados de la zona.
Saliendo de Christchurch, nos abrimos camino a través de las impresionantes llanuras de Canterbury, con muchas tierras de cultivo y paisajes increíbles de Nueva Zelanda para ver a lo largo del camino.
Una encantadora ciudad de South Canterbury conocida por sus tiendas boutique y productos locales. Aquí es donde haremos una pausa para recoger su almuerzo, tomar un breve descanso, tomar un café si lo desea y utilizar las instalaciones antes de continuar nuestro viaje.
Saliendo de Geraldine nos dirigimos hacia los famosos lagos azules del lago Tekapo pero para llegar primero debemos pasar por unos impresionantes pasos alpinos con unas vistas increíbles. Al cruzar la colina hasta Tekapo, se sorprenderá con una vista increíble del lago. Pare para una foto rápida en la emblemática Iglesia del Buen Pastor.
Girando hacia el oeste comenzamos a entrar en el Parque Nacional Aoraki y el lago Pukaki comienza a emerger frente a nosotros. El lago Pukaki es uno de los lagos más azules que jamás verá y está asombrosamente enmarcado por el telón de fondo de Aoraki / Monte Cook y los Alpes del Sur. No es difícil ver por qué muchas escenas de El Señor de los Anillos fueron filmadas cerca y se las señalaremos.
Mientras que en el parque nacional tiene 2 horas libres para disfrutar de caminatas / caminatas gratis o una de las actividades opcionales adicionales. Algunas de nuestras recomendaciones incluyen : Kea Point Track, Lagos Azules, Paseo por el Glaciar Tasman o Vuelos panorámicos (ver la región desde el aire y tierra en el Glaciar Tasman) o Mt Cook Visitor Centre & Hermitage Hotel. Cualquier cosa que decidas hacer, te recogeremos y te dejaremos donde necesites ir y nos aseguraremos de que estés bien atendido.
Despedida de Aoraki / Mt Cook Village y de regreso a Queenstown, nos detenemos en High Country Salmon, una granja de salmón local, donde puede alimentar a los peces y probar algunos de los salmones más frescos de Nueva Zelanda.
Subiendo en altitud, Lindis Pass tiene unas vistas increíbles a través de los valles. Siendo una de las tres únicas carreteras alpinas a través de los Alpes del Sur, que de otro modo serían intransitables.
Durante los meses de verano, cuando el sol todavía está alto a medida que nos acercamos a Queenstown, a menudo nos detenemos en Jacksons Orchard para probar o comprar deliciosas frutas locales o helados de frutas reales.
Al acercarnos a Queenstown, nos abrimos paso a través del impresionante desfiladero de Kawarau, pasando por unas vistas impresionantes, el puente colgante de Kawarau y el famoso mirador de Roaring Meg.
Lamentablemente, el recorrido debe llegar a su fin cuando ingresamos a Queenstown y nos despedimos.

This was an amazing experience! It worked out perfectly to sightsee and get a ride to Queenstown. Our guides were both fabulous, and very informative. There were many highlights just with the sightseeing alone, but seeing Mt. Cook and the glacier lake was amazing. I also cannot stop thinking about the most delicious salmon I ate on our journey from Mt. Cook to Queenstown. I would 10 out 10 recommend!
Thanks so much for the feedback! Our guides are totally passionate about sharing the sights on the Christchurch to Queenstown Tour (glad the salmon made the trip too!). We're stoked you had such an amazing journey and hope to see you back again :)
The entire trip was amazing and truly unforgettable. Everything was well organized, and the journey was enjoyable from beginning to end. The driver from Mount Cook to Queenstown was especially wonderful. He was kind, thoughtful, and explained many things along the way. He made everyone feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the trip. I also accidentally left my tripod in the van, and he kindly brought it back to my hotel. I really did not expect that, and I was very grateful for his help. Overall, I had such a great experience. The tour, the scenery, and the service were all excellent. I would happily recommend this trip to anyone. 10/10
What a lovely story about the tripod - that's exactly the kind of care our guides take on the Christchurch to Queenstown Tour. Thank you for such a thoughtful review, and we hope to welcome you back to New Zealand again :)
We were picked from our hotel on time. A comfortable car, an experienced drivers both vans, , water and snacks were provided. Nice lunch including very needed hot soup. Shame about the weather.
Both drivers we traveled with were incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. Throughout the journey, they shared so many interesting stories and detailed information about the area, which made the trip even more enjoyable. They were also exceptionally kind and caring toward my little boy, making him feel comfortable and included. We truly appreciated their hospitality and had such a wonderful experience with Cheeky Kiwi. It was a joyful and unforgettable journey!
This was a wonderful experience that our family thoroughly enjoyed. While it involved a lot of driving, it was absolutely worth it for the incredible scenery, amazing photo opportunities, and unforgettable experiences along the way. The entire experience was smooth and easy from start to finish. The drivers made sure to stop regularly for bathroom breaks, food, and plenty of photo opportunities, which we really appreciated. More importantly, they made the drive memorable by sharing fascinating history and local information that we wouldn't have learned otherwise. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the journey. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling from Christchurch to Queenstown.
A wonderful experience on our recent trip from Christchurch to Queenstown. We booked with you Cheeeky Kiwi last minute after our original plans fell through, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. I was traveling with my 85-year-old mother, who is typically a nervous passenger, but she felt incredibly relaxed and comfortable throughout the drive. We both thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the insightful knowledge shared by our guides, Grant and Jess. The lunch provided was also lovely. Thank you for a great experience!
Grant was our first driver from Chch to the mid point, he was very knowledgeable and had a lot of side stories that are very entertaining. Jay, the manager of the Chch branch was also very helpful and friendly. Danny was our driver from the mid point to QT who also had a lot of ideas to shares about QT and where to go and where to eat. Although it snowed really bad and we didnt really have a good view of Mount Cook and Lake Takapo, it was still a good experience overall and the drive felt very safe and the van felt very stable.
I would also like to offer a friendly observation regarding our transfers. While the overall experience was wonderful, I noticed a significant difference in communication styles between our two drivers. The first driver delivered a dense, non‑stop monologue over several hours, which made it quite challenging for non‑native English speakers to follow. Instead of adding value, the constant commentary became mentally exhausting and distracting. In contrast, the second driver adopted a much more measured and guest‑oriented approach—concise, clear, and considerate of foreign visitors, which made the journey far more enjoyable. I believe it would be beneficial to establish consistent communication guidelines for all drivers, ensuring that every passenger receives the same high‑quality, accessible information without feeling overwhelmed. Standardising this aspect of the service would greatly enhance the experience for international guests and reflect the professionalism your company clearly strives for. Thank you for your attention to this constructive feedback.
Both the drivers Grant and Lynette were very very good. Knowledgeable, friendly and kept us informed throughout the trip and made it a very memorable one. Highly recommended Crazy Kiwis
