5.00We absolutely loved our experience with Kiwi Adventures Tours & Travel for Private Mt Cook Tour from Christchurch ! Our guide, Dave, took us to some of New Zealand’s most breathtaking spots — Mt. Cook, Lake Tekapo, and Lake Pukaki — all of which are must-visit destinations. The tour was smooth and hassle-free, and the scenery was simply stunning. There were plenty of photo stops along the way, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Dave stop us at the popular Fairlie Bake house to try fresh pie, which were delicious, and had a memorable lunch at The Hermitage Hotel some of the major highlights. Overall, it was a highly satisfying and well-organized experience.
Beauty of South Island🥰

Airplane ride from Mt.Cook to land on Glaciers made our day! Our tour guide Ayu was knowledgeable, professional & drive us safefy across whole trip. Highly recommend this tour to explore the beauty of the South Island.

5.00Really unique experience, definitely would recommend booking your tour with Kiwi Adventures Tour. New Zealand is definitely heaven. We visited Akaroa, banks of Peninsula, Christchurch sightseeings locations, Lake Tekapo & Mt.Cook. Our driver and tour guide, Tom, was outstanding. He not only provided excellent guidance but also went above and beyond by suggesting additional sightseeing stops and offering a personalized itinerary Adam’s timely communication before the tour commencement was super helpful! Many thanks to you for offering us full tour package at discounted price. Without a doubt, I would recommend Kiwi Adventures Tour to others and look forward to returning to New Zealand in the future.
Scenic views were cherry on top for a beautiful day tour to Mt.Cook

4.00Lovely trip to Mt.cook with Kiwi Adventures tours. The trip went cut shorter halfway due to heavy snowfall on our way which cause some road closers. We’ll look forward to come back sooner to explore many other adventures in our bucket list. Great hospitality offered by Kiwi Adventures. Must contact them to book your upcoming tours.

5.00Beautiful landscapes. Great outdoor lunch at Hermitage Hotel facing glaciers. Our tour guide Deep was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great hiking experience to see Tasman Glaciers. It was long day however worth it to see Lake Tekapo, walk on Bridge, the Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Pukaki and finally Mt Cook. From pick-up to drop-off was smooth and efficient. Highly Recommend!
All round great day spent out
