This is a great way to get from Queenstown to Christchurch if you're solo traveling or don't have access to a vehicle. The stop at Mount Cook is magical. It is a lot of driving though. While the tour guides try to break it up, it is a little exhausting. I would suggest staying over at Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo and doing the second half the next day. Also good to note that it is two tour operators, Cheeky Kiwi and Cheeky Kea, both excellent, but double check your hotel destination at your end spot is a drop off point. It was excellently run. The two operators have it down to science and both guides were informative and friendly.
The first leg of the trip...

The first leg of the trip from Queenstown to Mt. Cook was very enjoyable. The driver shared a lot of local information and history while still respecting the early hour and giving us time to rest. His music was good and he was clear with the schedule for the morning. The second part of the trip from Mt. Cook to Christchurch felt disorganized. At the transfer at Mt. Cook confusion around which passengers were continuing on from the AM and where new passengers should sit caused stress. The trash from the AM passengers who didn't continue was not cleared. The driver was friendly but didn't share the schedule for the afternoon, arrival times or much local history/facts. No water of snacks were offered until we asked. The afternoon portion left us wishing we rented a car on our own.
Beautiful views and Mt. Cook visit.

Pick up was a bit confusing..several Cheeky Kiwi vans all showing up about same time. Some next to Ramada, some across street. Ride was good to Mt. Cook, scenery lovely. Approx 3 hrs to do full track hike. 1 hr to do hike to first bridge..well worth it. Second half of tour to Christchurch was fine…seemed a bit rushed at times. Nice drivers…hard to hear clearly, especially all the way in the back.
Beautiful views but not the most pleasant ride

The drive was what we expected, long. With a transfer at Mt. Cook midday. We were a bit taken back by our driver Kimberly. When we arrived at Hooker Valley Trail she stated that “she wasn’t a shuttle driver” and would only make one trip in the middle to transport guests back to the village. This made for challenges either the changing weather conditions. With the heavy rains I would have hoped for a more accommodating driver who would be empathetic to the varying needs of the guests. Additionally, I am sensitive to smoke and she stated that she could not do anything about a guest who was smoking close to the van and bringing the odor back into the enclosed van for the long drive. This made for a most unpleasant experience driving to Mt. Cook after a brief restroom stop. The second half of the trip was improved (despite the rain) with the transfer to Cheeky Kea.
