5.00My husband and I travelled with Cheeky Kiwi small group tour and our driver was Joel. He was a calm, friendly and helpful driver and tour guide giving us space to explore the beautiful bush walks and sites as well as the buzzing town of Hokitika. We felt very safe and relaxed with Joel as our driver and the other travellers were a great group of people to travel with. We will definitely be happy to recommend Cheeky Kiwi tours to friends and family. It was especially lovely to be in a small group bus for comfort as well as the smaller group of people making the trip far more personal.
Fabulous

The landscapes were stunning, the walks were beautiful and well planned, and everything was perfectly organised. Lunch was also provided and absolutely delicious.
