Greymouth
Here your guide will be waiting to meet you to continue your journey to Franz Josef. Greymouth is located in the heart of New Zealand's South Island, Greymouth is the largest town in the West Coast region, with a population of around 14,000 people. Nestled amidst chiseled cliff tops, wild beaches, and the picturesque Grey Valley, this charming destination is not only a beautiful spot itself, but also a key hub for connecting via the renowned TranzAlpine train service. **Please note the train is a third-party company in conjoined with our tour, there may be train delays of up to 30 minutes meaning you might not be able to have time for the views in Cobden.

Our tour guide(s) Grant and Jannis were amazing hosts. The van is very comfortable, they are very knowledgeable and engaging. They kept our spirits high. The provided lunch was okay; for most people, chicken is better than ham, so perhaps keep chicken as the default option next time. Overall, it was really spectacular. For people who don't have cars for their time here, I recommend this way to travel between the places in NZ!

Lovely guides with a lot of interesting information. The train was fantastic and having the minibus pick us up at the other end and provide lunch was great.

An unforgettable family trip from Christchurch to Franz Josef. The scenery was spectacular and the TranzAlpine train lived up to the hype. Rosie was a fantastic guide—warm, engaging, and full of insights that made the journey memorable. A great day out with Cheeky Kiwi!

This tour was a perfect way to experience the South Island. The TranzAlpine through the Southern Alps was breathtaking, and the stop at Hokitika Gorge was a real highlight. Our Cheeky Kiwi guide was great - knowledgeable, friendly, and full of stories. Highly recommend!

The trip from Christchurch to Franz Josef was incredible. The TranzAlpine train and scenic drive showcased absolutely breathtaking landscapes and views the entire way. Our guide Rosie was super knowledgeable! She was friendly and full of great local stories. It is quite a long day but her stories made it fly by and the views make it absolutely worth it. Everything was very well organised, we had lots of great photo stops. Highly recommend this, especially with Rosie as your tour guide. :)
