Itinerario
Su viaje comienza en la capital de la aventura de Nueva Zelanda. Mientras conducimos fuera de la ciudad, su guía compartirá historias y señalará los aspectos más destacados locales.
Saliendo de Queenstown, nos dirigimos hacia el norte a través del impresionante desfiladero de Kawarau, pasando por hermosas vistas. El puente colgante Kawarau y el famoso mirador Roaring Meg. Si el tiempo y la luz lo permiten, nos detendremos para tomar esa primera gran toma del recorrido.
Al salir de Kawarau Gorge nos adentramos en la región vitivinícola y frutícola de Cromwell. Pasando por enormes campos de viñedos, cruzamos el lago Dunstan y seguimos este impresionante lago hacia Lindis Pass.
Al ascender en altitud, Lindis Pass tiene impresionantes vistas del valle. Al ser una de las tres únicas carreteras alpinas que atraviesan los intransitables Alpes del Sur, nos detenemos en el mirador de Lindis Pass, a 971 m sobre el nivel del mar, para tomar una foto imprescindible.
Mientras conducimos por las interminables llanuras del distrito de Mackenzie, veremos varias de las famosas ovejas merinas antes de detenernos en el pintoresco municipio de Omarama. Mientras estemos en Omarama, tendremos tiempo para un descanso o incluso para probar el mejor pastel de pollo cremoso de Nueva Zelanda (en nuestra opinión).
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 verás y está asombrosamente enmarcado por el telón de fondo de Aoraki / Monte Cook y los Alpes del Sur. Nos detenemos para hacer unas fotos increíbles y para maravillarnos con la vista que estamos contemplando.
Mientras que en el parque nacional tiene aproximadamente 2 horas y media de tiempo libre para disfrutar de caminatas / caminatas gratis o una de las actividades adicionales opcionales
Despidiéndose del Monte Cook, nos dirigimos al Lago Tekapo. Este lago azul turquesa es famoso en todo el mundo por su belleza prístina. Al llegar a Tekapo, sus guías le indicarán los puntos destacados que pasemos mientras viajamos a los lugares de entrega.

Kris is a great driver and tour guide. She introduced us to a whole new point of view of the tourist spots. She gave us additional information. We enjoyed our tour even though our time is limited. Highly recommended 👌
Thank you for your nice feedback about our driver. We are glad you had a great trip. Thank you for travelling with us.
Well managed operator. Everything is on schedule. Guide give us information for first time in town. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing experience! Kristina was such a wonderful guide. The weather was not perfect, but the views and her guidance and stories made the trip all worthwhile. I was travelling solo, but it felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Thank you!
Great sights & walks, informative & entertaining guide Joseph
So pleased to hear you enjoyed your day with us. Thank you for choosing Cheeky Kiwi for your travel
Glacier and mountain views are breathtaking
We joined the trip about one-third of the way through, which we hadn’t realised beforehand. The booking information didn’t clearly state that the journey started in Christchurch, so we didn’t have the opportunity to choose our seats in advance. As a family of four, this made things a bit tricky. I’m 6 foot tall and found the seating quite cramped, especially as some shorter passengers were in seats with more legroom. The seats themselves were fine, but taller travellers may find it a tight fit. It’s worth noting that seating operates on a first-come, first-served basis. That said, the staff were accommodating where they could be. They kindly allowed our daughter, who can get travel sick, to sit in the front seat when it became available after someone got off at Lake Tekapo, which we really appreciated. But possibly more good luck than anything. Safety briefing was given when we changed drivers, after a few hours, unsure if the Christchurch people got that when they got on, but nothing mentioned when we got on. I did have to load our suitcases into the trailer myself, which having back issues wasn’t ideal. Something to be aware of if you’re picked up later than the first collection point. Communication was excellent—there was a delay due to roadworks, and they kept us well informed about timing before picking us up. The snacks/lunch provided were tasty, and the stops along the way were well chosen. The driver/guide also shared informative and interesting commentary throughout the trip, which added to the overall experience. Overall, a good trip with some minor logistical issues to be aware of, especially around seating if you’re joining partway through or are taller.
Thank you for your feedback. Your comments are appreciated as it helps us to see where we might make changes so that we can make the tour enjoyable for all. The safety briefing is given at the start and so you may have missed it but we will take that on and pass it to the operations team. We are also looking at how we might accommodate special requirements as much as we are able. Once again thank you for your feedback and for travelling with us. We hope the rest of your visit to our country is a great adventure. [
This excursion is not worth the money. You have to wake up very early in Queenstown, and the main stop on the way to Mount Cook is just for food. On top of that, there are only two short photo stops, and you don’t actually get the full three hours in Mount Cook as advertised. What you can do in Mount Cook is not clearly explained, and the time there is poorly organized. Our second guide barely said a word between the last two stops, so there was really no point in paying extra for this tour.
Hello, could you please let me know which date you travelled on this tour so we can investigate what happened. If compenastion is appropriate then we will comply. Usually the feedback on this tour is very good so we'd like to understand what happened. rhys@cheekykiwitravel.com
I had a great trip down to Queenstown with Cheeky Kiwi. Our tour guides, Yanmis and Joe, were both awesome! Both shared insightful stories about landmarks and sights as we passed. We took plenty of breaks and had time to take pictures, grab snacks, and do small hikes. Both guides were helpful, entertaining, and fun to travel with. I'd definitely recommend this as an option to explore New Zealand without having to rent a car and drive yourself. Thanks again guys!
hello- thank you for your great feedback. It is appreciated. We are pleased you had such a great adventure with Cheeky Kiwi and enjoyed the guides commentary. Thank you for travelling with us.
Had a great day. Picked up on time from my hotel. Mt Cook National Park was stunning. Did the Tasman Glacier look out walk and the Kea Point track. Plenty of other stops on the way too. The two drivers (think it was Jay and Jonathan) provided commentary throughout and displayed that kiwi humour and wit. A great way to see a beautiful part of the country.
Hello - Thank you for your nice comments about our guides and that you had a wonderful day to our most famous mountain was fantastic. It is certainly worth the visit isn't it. Thank you for choosing to travel with us.
Great way of getting from Queenstown to Tekapo and seeing Aoraki/Mt Cook! We’re travelling NZ using the intercity buses but wanted to see more of the Lindis Valley & Aoraki without staying there so booked this. So glad they offer it as not many places do! We had bad weather at Aoraki but our guide Kris got us there safely and we managed to do some of the hikes despite the storm. Unforgettable experience even if it wasn’t the weather we hoped for. Great photo spots and comfortable bus. Only things that could improve was the guide who dropped us at Tekapo (not Kris) wouldn’t drop us near our accommodation (Lakes Edge Holiday Park) so we had to walk 20min with all our bags in the storm. I understand there being limited drop-offs but thought they might be more lenient with the storm (especially as the bus wasn’t full as lots of people had cancelled due to the weather). Also didn’t think the salmon farm was the best stop, who is buying salmon on a day trip to Mt Cook lol! Would be better to stop at the lavender farm round the corner or just do more photo stops, a non-native fish farm didn’t seem the best use of time or the most pleasant! Otherwise a great day and much better than rushing through on an Intercity bus. Thank you Kris and for the extra stop to see the lupin!💜
