Absolutely wonderful day‑long small‑group tour from Christchurch to Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo! It was a long day on the road, and photo stops at key viewpoints were relatively short. Luckily we got brilliant sunny weather — every single shot turned out stunning without any filter at all .
Huge credit to our awesome driver‑guide: Brad! He did an incredible multi‑tasking job. His driving was incredibly smooth and skillful, which gave us total peace of mind. While behind the wheel, he kept sharing fascinating local insights and stories along the way, and it’s really impressive how he could deliver great commentary while navigating these scenic roads so well .
This tour packs a huge amount into one day and covers all the iconic must‑see spots. It is perfect for travellers like us who cannot drive but still want to experience all these amazing highlights efficiently. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the South Island!

Wow, thanks for such a detailed review! Brad is a local through and through and loves sharing stories about the Mackenzie Basin, so we're glad you enjoyed them. You scored epic weather for Aoraki/Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo too. It's a big day, but we're stoked it ticked off all those South Island highlights for you.

This was a spectacular...
This was a spectacular experience; we got very lucky with the weather, with barely a cloud in the sky. I planned the trip well, and our knowledgeable, flexible driver made it clear there were opportunities on the way back to stop in places like Fairlie to check out the award-winning bakery. Cheeky Kiwi felt like an excellent operator, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again if I were back in the country.

Incredible Experience with Cheeky Kiwi Travel
My wife and I joined the Mt Cook & Lake Tekapo Small Group Tour, and it was easily one of the highlights of our travels.
The small group setting made the entire journey feel comfortable, relaxed, and personalized. Our tour guide, Grant, was exceptional. He kept us entertained and informed with great local insights, drove safely, and made sure we hit all the best photo spots at both Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook. It was an amazing day out that my wife and I will cherish for a long time. Thank you, Cheeky Kiwi Travel and Grant, for a flawless experience!

A spectacular day out
A great day out and wel organised. The weather was against us as we left Christchurch but the sun came out and ensured this was a spectacular trip. Renee kept us entertained with local knowledge along the way. A long day but worth every minute.

Day trip to Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook
I appreciated Rosie’s sense of punctuality. She was very informative along the way to Mt Cook and was accommodating to our needs. An experienced guide and an excellent driver!
Renee, her understudy, was also a very helpful guide and a great driver too! Felt safe in their care.
Hope to meet with them again!

Paul is very helpful, and I truly value his opinion and knowledge. Better allow a few more minutes at both lakes to get photographs.

Great day with Grant
Had such a great day going to Tekapo and Mt. Cook. I was worried about the weather and the drive time when I checked but it turned out to be a beautiful day and well worth the drive. Grant was a great tour guide and knew so much about the geography and history of everything we were passing and had the answers to every question that was asked. I would definitely recommend this tour and Grant to anyone who comes to Christchurch!
