• Highlight of our trip!

  Out of our 10 day stay in New Zealand, this tour was the highlight of our trip. We booked a one day private tour to Mt. Cook and Lake Tekapo, and it exceeded our expectations. We have been on many guided day tours over the years, but this one truly stood out. We initially chose this company because they offered tours in multiple languages and flexible start times. Although the tour was described as "private," we didn't expect it to be just our group, which was a wonderful surprise. We also appreciated that the itinerary was customizable. Our guide, Jay, was knowledgeable, experienced, and attentive. He offered great suggestions, always checked our preferences, and never rushed us. Even during the long drive, he kept the conversation enjoyable and made the day fun from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Zealand.

  Extremely happy to have Jay with our small group tour. He is very joyful and passionate about New Zealand and showed us as many spots as possible throughout the trip. The trip was enjoyable and we learnt about all the stories and histories of the lakes and mountains. We made it on time back to Queenstown and even made extra stops! No extra admission fees are required and everything was excellent. The whole 12 hour trip was surely unforgettable and worth it.

  We had a great time in this private tour with Jay. We covered Lindis pass, Clay cliffs, Cromwell, Tekapo lake (multiple viewpoints) and Pukaki lake (multiple viewpoints). Jay shared a lot of great info and also took some very nice pictures. He also took to some scenic hidden gems for the lakes with no people around which was very cool. If you are 2-3 people this private tour is only slightly more expensive/comparable to a group tour but it is a much better experience as you can spend good time at the the lakes and other places of interest.

• Amazing day trip with Jay

  Our journey with Jay from Arrowtown to Lake Tekapo covered some of New Zealand's most scenic alpine routes, winding through landscapes dotted with vibrant lupins and native and invasive flora, with Jay providing informative and engaging commentary throughout. We stopped at a fruit farm for delicious kiwiberries and then at a salmon farm for incredibly fresh salmon, followed by an amazing visit to Lake Pukaki where we enjoyed melt-in-your-mouth salmon sashimi and were mesmerized by the distinctive milky-turquoise waters caused by glacial flour. Throughout the day, we were thrilled to spot karearea on multiple occasions, with Jay looking out for them. At Kea Point, we completed the rewarding walking track through alpine meadows and were treated to spectacular views of Aoraki/Mount Cook and the Hooker Valley from the lookout point. After visiting the picturesque Church of the Good Shepherd, and multiple viewpoints of Lake Tekapo, we finished this wonderful day with delicious pizza.

• Like traveling with friends, very relaxing

  The day before this trip we took another trip for your company and we were very pleased with the service of the tour guide Jay, so we asked if we could add a day trip. Although the season has passed, Jay is still trying to help us find flowers (very careful). As the shark shipment was delayed due to an accident before we went to Lake Pukaki, Jay quickly adjusted the itinerary and told us we could enjoy it again on the way back. There is no stress all the way, and there will be a lot of restaurant options available for us to choose from the day before (our family is a guest, the main purpose of this trip is to eat good food). The main issue on this route is the toilet, but Jay will also remind us of the path and level of cleanliness of each toilet, very attentive to the girl. In addition, Jay is a good photographer, he will also take us to some private shooting attractions to avoid shooting crowds; he will also give us some tips for shooting red-style photos. Even at the end of the trip, he is willing to take us to the restaurant location we have booked, and is willing to provide some tourist information about Queen Town to provide some ideas for our future freelancers.

  

  

• The Best Way to Experience Lake Tekapo

  We had an amazing experience with Jay as our private tour guide! He was incredibly sweet, friendly, and accommodating, and genuinely happy to tailor the day around all of our suggestions. The entire trip felt relaxed and personal, never rushed, and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves throughout the whole day. Jay went above and beyond by helping us switch out hotels in the morning, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. He constantly checked in to make sure we were okay and having a great time, which we really appreciated. Anyone looking for the flexibility to make stops along the way and truly curate their own day trip should absolutely reach out to Jay and his team. He had great suggestions throughout the tour and also recommended additional spots for us to check out for the remainder of our time in Queenstown, which was incredibly helpful. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the flexibility of the private tour made it even more special. We truly enjoyed every moment of the experience and will definitely be passing Jay’s recommendation along to all of our friends and family. Highly recommend!

  Jay was an excellent guide. Did not bombard me with information, but was able to answer my questions and when he noticed things that I was interested in, would give me more information of that type. Because I booked a private tour, he asked if there were specific things that I wanted to do. I arranged for him to bring my bike and camping gear and drop me off at Lake Tekapo. He even helped me set up my tent. Highly recommend.
