Discover the dramatic landscapes of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park and the Tasman Glacier on this small group, fully guided day tour from Queenstown. Journey through alpine passes, turquoise lakes, and high-country plains to reach the foot of New Zealand’s tallest mountain, where you’ll enjoy a guided walk to the Tasman Glacier Viewpoint. This is more than a day trip - it’s a journey through the heart of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, where awe-inspiring natural beauty meets fascinating stories and unforgettable experiences.

Please note

The Hooker Valley Track is currently closed beyond Müller Lookout (located between the first and second swing bridges) while the Department of Conservation replaces one of the bridges. This scenic section still offers stunning views and a rewarding hiking experience. The full track is expected to reopen in Autumn 2026.

More than 5 stars!

Despite the miserable weather, this experience still deserves more than 5 stars. Shura was a fantastic guide—very helpful, caring, and reassuring, especially while we were all soaked. She also adjusted the itinerary thoughtfully to suit the weather, which we really appreciated. She has an easygoing, friendly vibe that made everyone feel comfortable. Even with the weather not cooperating, she kept things enjoyable with interesting “did you know” moments and created a great sense of camaraderie among the group.

Mount Cook

Abbey was a great guide with very good knowledge. We managed 2 hikes with spectacular views even though it rained quite a bit on our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the day

Best way to see Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park!

Lynette was very warm, welcoming, and professional with wit that kept you interested in all the information you learn throughout the day. The tour was well planned and organized, not rushed, and perfectly timed with stops and stop durations. We had an ideal amount of time to do two mountain walks at our own paces with no rushing. Highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi tours!

I joined the tour on 19th March

Benny was our tour guide and he was superb. During the tour he always did his best to let us see as much as possible. The weather was not great at the first half of our tour. Benny knew that if we followed the itinerary to the next attraction, we couldn’t have seen much. Therefore he suggested we went to the attraction after next first and then came back to this ‘next’ attraction. At the end everything worked out!

Mt Cook and Tasman glacier day trip!

We had a wonderful experience on our tour to Mt. Cook, made even better by our guide, Chris. He was a safe and confident driver with a great sense of humor, and he shared extensive knowledge about all the places we visited. We especially enjoyed learning some local slang and gestures from him—it added a fun, personal touch to the trip. One of the highlights was a stop at an orchard, where he recommended real fruit ice cream, which was absolutely delicious! The tour was also very comfortable, with WiFi and phone charging available on the bus—such a thoughtful feature. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

A Day to Mt Cook & the Glaciers

It was a lovely day of travel and learning. We were shown the wonders & beauty of Mt Cook with some extra activities such as walking the Tasman Glacier Tracks. As added bonus we were taken for breakfast at The Wrinkley Ram at Omarama and a visit to a High Country Salmon farm at Twizel and also to a wonderful ice-creamery at Cromwell. The walking trails part was rather strenuous for me with a new knee replacement but all the others in the group managed to survive it. Our guide was most knowlegeable and interesting and full of lovely stories & anecdotes as well as facts . It's a very long day for this 75 year old and was certainly looking forward to my nap back at hotel.

Great trip

A great tour with a great tour guide. Joseph (Kiwi Joseph with the mullet!) was knowledgeable, friendly and provided us with a wealth of information and local knowledge. Mt Cook and the surrounding area were sensational.
