I had no idea what to expect from this trip, having done basically no research on the Catlins or Dunedin before heading out. But I knew the minute I met Jason that he would make the day memorable. He is an amazing guide and driver, explaining so much about New Zealand, its culture, landscape and wildlife. His passion for this less-traveled area of the country is infectious. We saw beautiful waterfalls, ate great food and had a front row seat watching a pair of sea lions frolicking on the beach - an experience I will never forget. At the end of the day Jason was even able to squeeze in a stop in Dunedin to show us the steepest street in the world. I would highly recommend this tour, not just as a way to get from the west to the east coasts of the South Island, but for the road less traveled experience you will have along the way. If (when) I go back to New Zealand, I will spend more time in the Catlins.

I had the best experience on the tour. Our tour guide Jason was very nice and took great care of me. Also Jason gave me the encouragement to get too Nugget Point Lighthouse, my favorite spot and so very beautiful 😍 All of the places we stopped at were the best.

This trip was a good opportunity to see the southern coast of the South Island, including the lesser known Catlins park area, and our guide Jason was great. If I had known about these one-way Cheeky Kiwi tours earlier, I would have ONLY traveled around NZ this way. Highly recommended

This was an amazing day tour and everything was perfectly arranged. A big thank you to our guide Jason — he was professional, friendly, and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary was well planned and very fulfilling without feeling rushed. We were lucky enough to see sea lions and seals up close, and the waterfall was stunning. The scenery along the way was also beautiful. Highly recommend this tour!

Had an awesome day going from Te Anau to Dunedin. Jason is easy going and knowledgeable. He can read the room and adapt to the needs of the group that day. It was perfect for me and I’ve ended up seeing a lot of highlights.

While the sights and stories along this tour are outstanding, Jason the guide made this an absolute top highlight of our trip to New Zealand. We have talked about our experience on this trip every day since and will remember this day for the rest of our lives. His excitement about the wildlife/ scenery we were seeing was palpable and you could tell how much he genuinely loves his job! He was so accommodating throughout the day, even adding in an extra stop for a lookout or whatever he felt would make the day better for us, like a nice pie lunch stop. By the end of the day, it felt like we were just friends exploring the coast together. Would recommend this tour to anyone traveling in NZ!

Best leg of the trip so far. Te Anau to Dunedin. Professional guide and driver, very smooth drive, comfortable minivan. Highly recommended our tour guide Jasen, his many years of tourism experience, shared with us fun stories about NZ and efforts of describing the landscape and animals we see along the way, we're so lucky to have him. And fortunate that we found this new route that's only a few weeks old (started in November 2025)
