You’ll travel in a carbon-neutral vehicle that doesn’t skimp on modern needs (think full air-conditioning, USB chargers and WiFi!) whilst exploring Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, the Ben Ohau Range and the sites from Lord of the Rings.

Both Joseph (Cheeky Kea) and Kim (Cheeky Kiwi) who guided us from Christchurch to Mount Cook and Mount Cook to Queenstown were amazing people. I found them super friendly and very accommodating and made our journey enjoyable. I extend my heartfelt thanks to both of them.

All the places were covered but the driver was a bit unfriendly and targeted in his comments. Not enough time was given to enjoy each stop. Time was wasted on bakery, which could have been skipped or saved, and less time was given at lake Takepo, which we wanted to visit and explore. I would recommend this tour to other but not with the same operator
