Itinerary:
Christchurch - Your tour starts in the stunning city of Christchurch. As we drive out of the city your guide will not only set the scene for your adventurous day but also point out and guide you past some of the area’s top highlights.
Canterbury Plains – Departing Christchurch we then make our way through the impressive Canterbury plains with plenty of amazing New Zealand farmland and countryside to see along the way.
Lake Tekapo (5 mins) – we head towards the famous blue lakes of Lake Tekapo but to get there first we must go through some impressive alpine passes with amazing views. As we come over the hill to Tekapo you will be stunned by amazing view of the lake.
Church of the Good Shepherd (10 mins) – Once in the township of Tekapo you will have time to explore the very popular Church of the Good Shepherd, see the Mackenzie Sheep dog and get those Instagram worth shots of Lake Tekapo before we continue to Mt Cook.
Lake Pukaki (10 mins)– Turning west we begin to enter the Aoraki National Park and Lake Pukaki begins to emerge in front of us. Lake Pukaki is one of the bluest lakes you will ever see and is stunningly framed by the backdrop of Aoraki/Mt Cook and the Southern Alps. We stop for some amazing photos and to just marvel at the sight that we are beholding. It’s not hard to see why many Lord of the Rings scene were filmed nearby and we will point them out for you.
Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park – While in the national park you have 2.5 hours free time to enjoy free walks/hikes or one of the extra optional activities. Some of our recommendations include Kea Point Track, Blue Lakes Track, Scenic flights (see the region from the air and land on the Tasman Glacier) or Mt Cook Visitor Centre & Hermitage Hotel. Whatever you decide to do we will pick you up and drop you off where you need to go and make sure you are well looked after.
High Country Salmon - Farewelling Aoraki/Mt Cook Village and making our way back to Queenstown we stop in at High Country Salmon, a local salmon farm, where you can feed the fish and taste some of the freshest salmon in New Zealand.
Lindis Pass – Climbing in altitude, Lindis Pass has amazing views down through the valleys. Being one of only three alpine roads through the otherwise impassable Southern Alps.
Jacksons Orchard – As we get close to Queenstown we often stop at Jacksons Orchard to try or buy some delicious local fruit or real fruit ice cream.
Kawarau Suspension Bridge – Nearing Queenstown we then make our way through the stunning Kawarau Gorge passing stunning views, the Kawarau Suspension Bridge and the famous Roaring Meg Lookout.
Queenstown – Sadly the tour must come to an end as we enter Queenstown and say our goodbyes.

5.00Our trip from Christchurch to Queenstown with Jay and Joe was great. The small tour travel meant increased flexibility to make a brief unexpected photo stop, support some local businesses and let us modify plans to work with the weather conditions. Both guides were knowledgeable and provided interesting commentary. We weren’t certain about Cheeky Kiwi when booking from overseas, however we highly recommend them for travel. The company was responsive to questions, on time , respectful of property and a fabulous way to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

5.00We had such a lovely experience with Cheeky Kiwi. They are professional, punctual, lovely polite staff, went above and beyond to cater to our needs and were amazing to communicate with, even over the public holidays. We were exceptionally impressed with their customer service, and we would 100% recommend to our friends and family. An amazing kiwi business that we would not hesitate to use again. Highly rated!!

5.00We had a wonderful drive through the South Island ever changing geology. It was wonderful to be able to sit back and just watch and learn as we moved through the plains, to the mountains and into Queenstown.
Skip the driving. Enjoy the scenery!

5.00So glad we decided to use this option rather than drive ourselves. We very much enjoyed the small group ride. Our driver/tour guide provided great information on the region as we passed through, offering plenty of time to take in the highlights of the landscape. It was also clear that our driver was focused on getting us there safely. We could tell that we were in expert hands. This was one of three tours that we took with cheeky Kiwi. They are a first-class operation!
A bit rushed but a great day

4.00I think the timings could be tweaked a bit as some of it was a little rushed but I appreciate that there's only so much that can be done with traffic etc. Carl and Nat were fab, friendly and really informative. Really enjoyed the day

5.00My husband and I would like to recommend Willem for his upcoming tours and endeavours. He was our guide for the first half of our tour from Christchurch to Queenstown on 1 Dec 2025. On the tour, from carefully handling luggages to sharing info and stories that extended beyond the tour like Queenstown airport protocols and knowledge outside NZ, along with his friendliness, really showed high care to professionalism. As we had more tours before and after that with Willem, it made us appreciate him more. We wish him continued success.
Lovely Experience!

5.00The departure at 6:30 was really early but it was worth it. I got to see amazing landscapes and the sun was also there. Both drivers were very nice. I am so glad I found this tour which was the perfect one to go from Christchurch to Queenstown combining the lake Tekapo and Mount Cook especially for travellers without a car. I would totally recommend it!
