This is a great way to get from MT Cook to Queenstown. The time goes by quickly with the interesting commentary and well placed stops.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Kia ora! Thanks for your review! Yes what a great way to travel from one fantastic place to another while getting a fully guided tour! Thanks for travelling with The Cheeky Kiwi Travel team!

A great way to travel between destinations! I don't like a "minimum" requirement to comment so this is all filler

Great Service

Bus arrived on time. The driver, Sara, was excellent, very helpful. WiFi was great to have and bus was clean. Space inside bus is very cramped.

We have booked bother...

We have booked other tours of Cheeky Kea and Cheeky Kiwi and they were very extensive and good. There seems to be some exchange of tourists after reaching Hermitage. We started from Hermitage at Aoraki and our guide seemed a bit disgruntled with earlier half of the journey. This particular tour on Christmas Eve was rushed and our driver did not stop at any of the points like High Salmon Country or Lindis Pass. He stopped at fruit store in Cromwell and headed to Queenstown. We understand this was on 24th Dec and people will have family dinner plans. However this felt extremely rushed and more of a transfer only from Mt Cook to Queenstown.

Lynette was an awesome and highly experienced driver + tour guide! Pickup + drop off was punctual and seamless. Great value compared to private transfer. Appreciated the smaller bus size (Mercedes Benz) and brief stops at High Country Salmon, Lindis Pass, and Jackson Orchards (Cromwell). Plenty of hitched storage for large cases. My only mild disappointment was that HCS's nigiri special was no longer being offered when we arrived mid afternoon. Highly recommended!
