10/10 experience!
We had a fantastic time with Jeoff from Cheeky Kiwi! He was absolutely amazing, so full of knowledge- answered any and all questions. Super impressive! He went the extra mile and we had a super time. The views were spectacular from beginning to end. And an added bonus was the lunch stop, it was absolutely delicious and on the house made it all more enjoyable đ Could not recommend this company more, definitely book with them and hopefully youâll be lucky enough to have Jeoff as your guide!!

Coastal adventure and beautiful nature
We had a great tour in Coromandel in a small fun group. The guide Trent the rock Star was super funny and showed us great spots as well as doing a good shop as a photographer. There were also small snacks and something to drink on the bus and enough breaks. Great coastal adventure and beautiful nature. Our highlight Cathendral Cove â¤ď¸ who wants to experience what and likes adventure should do this tour.

A great day on the Coromandel Peninsula
What a lovely day visiting the Coromandel Peninsula! Our guide Trent really went the extra mile to make our experience memorable. We were a small group so Trent took us on a couple of great walks to get the best photos of beaches and flora. We got to spend time at Cathedral Cove and a few other beaches. Trent is very knowledgeable on the Coromandel and also pointed out special nature reserves that are preserving the Kauri trees. We drove by bird reserves across from the peninsula and so much more. Trent was a wonderful guide and truly went out of his way to give us a special day with lots of memories and so many photos đ.

Great solo experience with a fantastic guide
I joined the tour as a solo traveler and English is not my first language, but Ben made everything easy and enjoyable. He was very warm and enthusiastic, and he kept sharing interesting stories throughout the trip. There were nine people in our group, and everyone had a great time. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it.

Cheeky Kiwi are the way to go for a truly fun day out!
Where to start with this grear value tour. Sun; sea and seemingly endless fun! Ben our tour guide and driver set the tone for the day with his jovial, high sprited demeanor; even st 6.15am when he arrived at my hotel. What greeted us on a warm white sand beach after a two houe drive was like a scene from a movie. Well as Ben informed us, the stunning Cathederal Cove location was used in the film Narnia. Numerous photo captures and videos later we progressed onto the Hot Water sand each with bucket and spade in hand to dig our very own hot pool to la languish in only 20 to 30 metres in from the sea shore. Amazingly hot water gushes up from the sand after only digging a few feet. It's a fab communal activity and great for team/group bonding. Then one can go for a refeshing dip in the inviting ocean afterwards (Don't forget your swimwear) Overall this tour is truly the best way to spend the dsy if looking to book a tour and Cheeky Kiwi are the way to go for the all round fun experience. Highly recommended.

Great day out to the Coromandel Peninsula
Fabulous scenery, fun and knowledgeable guide, nice pace - it did not feel rushed at all. In terms of finding lunch during the lunch break, the Hahei ice crema and eatery is fine but not amazing.

5/5 experience
The van we rode in was perfect, not crowded, and with humongous leg room. Mark is an excellent tour guide and driverânot to energetic but not boring either.

Exceptional Tour, Amazing Guide, and Immersive Experiences!
Could not have asked for a better experience! From pick up till drop off, the experience was very comfortable and enjoyable! Grant was an amazing tour guide and shared so much insight and history about Auckland and Aotearoa - made the long scenic drives more immersive! He also drove so smoothly, we all got to nap a bit in a midst of all the excitement. The short stops for incredible coffee and delicious (affordable ++) ice cream at the beginning and end of the trip were great additions to the tour! Being in a small group and not having to worry about picking up the tickets or finding where to go or booking lunch - just relaxing and enjoying the experience - made this tour super worth it!

Cheeky Kiwi is amazing
Hi Cheeky Kiwi Team, My partner and I had an amazing experience from the moment we got picked up by Simon to the moment that he dropped us off. We enjoyed the journey, very beautiful and scenic. We loved hearing about Aucklandâs history, agriculture and overall culture in general. Overall it was such an amazing experience and we really enjoyed every moment of it! Would highly recommend to our friends and family in Australia. Thank you!

Hobbiton and Waitomo trip.
Our family had a great experience with Cheeky Kiwi tours. Our host âGrantâ or you can call him âGrauntâ. Very early pickup as it was a 2 hour trip to Hobbiton. Weather in June is really up in the air. Grant was very knowledgeable of the region and history. Pointing out areas of interest to past the time. Arriving at Hobbiton, Grant provided us the details of our ticket and that the tour is over seen and guided by the staff at Hobbiton and would be transferred to their bus and returned back. The Tour itself was wonderful! Our guide in Hobbiton (Tom) was great! Giving us some great trivia facts and movie references that was used while filming. Weather could not have been better. The cool overcast made the walk around Hobbiton very comfortable. During our time wandering Hobbiton. Grant was getting our lunch order ready that was selected during the drive. We stopped at âThe Thirsty Wetaâ in Ĺtorohanga. Lunch portion were very generous. Next stop was the Waitomo caves to see the glow worms. This was a shorter visit than Hobbiton. The caves were very impressive and well maintained to keep the environment stable. One very important note: NOT PICTURES ALLOWED. Donât even try to sneak a shot in. This area has more cameras than Times Square. Also, for cultural reason that the MĂŁori believe that you will be taking their ancestors spirit from the area, or that the worms would not glow for the next group after you scared them. Take your pick either way itâs all about respect of the area and not entitlement that you want them on you social influence post. The drive back was late due to traffic and nothing that Grant could do about this.
