Escape the Garden City for a day trip that’ll blow your socks off! Our Full-Day Queenstown, Mt Cook and Tasman Glacier from Christchurch Tour allows you to adventure through the best of the Mackenzie Country, without any of the admin. We want you to SEE MORE, DO MORE and SPEND LESS!

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.

    Though it was a long journey and a long day, the views on the way was spectacular. 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.

    Joseph was a very experienced and professional guide. He was very responsible in taking care of us. Furthermore, he gave us lots of information about NZ. The view on this trip is very beautiful.

    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
