Gorgeous views & great guide - a wonderful day in Fiordland

This tour was first rate. Comfortable ride, nice packed lunch, good company. And the Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound are spectacular. We started out very early in the rain from Queenstown, but our guide Benny assured us that going to Milford Sound on a rainy day was not a bad thing. And he could not have been more right. The way the waterfalls grew in number and intensity throughout the day was breathtaking. Truly a day to remember. And being dropped in Te Anau at the end of the day (instead of going all the way back to Queenstown) gave me a chance to wander a bit and see some sights in Te Anau.

FUN AND FULFILMENT WITH CHEEKY KIWIS

We had a wonderful experience which was very much as a result of the tour drivers which you allocated to our trips. They were all different in character but equally were all friendly, knowledgeable about the countryside through which we were travelling and above all professional in their approach to their tasks. Comfort breaks were offered regularly which was much appreciated. We also enjoyed the tours where my wife and I had the mini bus and driver to ourselves. Having said that fellow travellers on other occasions was much appreciated and enjoyed. All in all the tours all met or exceeded our expectations. Fun

An interesting journey with a great guide.

I did a small group Milford Sound tour from Queenstown with Cheeky Kiwi. I’ve met A LOT of guides during my travels, most of them were pretty good. Our guide Danny was one of the best. He made the long journey pleasant with many interesting facts about the country, was very organised and funny, and even prepared some games and trivia quizzes to make our day better. He mentioned he was in finance before. I don’t know about that, but I know he was born to be a great tour guide! Thank you Cheeky Kiwi!

Great Day at Milford Sound

Colin was our driver/guide for our tour to Te Anau and Milford Sound. We had a great time on all of the stops and Colin was a wealth of good information and just a very nice fellow. We want to make a special call out and thank to him for taking the time to return the travel pillow we left on the van when he dropped us off. We really appreciate him for doing that. Great tour and a great guide.

Excellent, Joe was amazing

Had a great experience with Cheeky Kiwi. Joe was an amazing driver. He was very knowledgeable about New Zealand and got us there in record time. He also tolerated our group’s terrible singing on the way back. He deserves a raise! Recommended!

Excellent trip to see Milford Sound

We booked onto the trip short-notice and were so glad that we did! Shura was an excellent guide who is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. I particularly loved to learn about botany and birds. She made the long drive fly by! The organisation of the trip was seamless and the cruise of Milford magical.

Te Anau & Milford Sound Adventure

We had Hanna as a guide for the tour and she was fantastic! She knew so much about the natural landscape and culture. The tour itself was beautiful and really well organised. I couldn’t recommend Cheeky Kiwi and Hanna enough.

Can’t beat local knowledge

Jason and Angelo took us on a day trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound. They were fantastic hosts and guides , providing a very enjoyable and informative day full of interest, fun and a deep appreciation of the sublime landscape we travelled through Jason’s personable approach and his local knowledge was a real highlight , making the day relaxed and enjoyable despite the ambitious agenda . The small group tour is an excellent way to engage with this overwhelmingly glorious landscape.
