    A Spectacular, Road trip, Cruise & Flight. Amazingly WOW!!
    Fantastic tour. Our guide 'Sintan' was friendly, warm, funny and fully engaged in endeavouring to get to know us and what it is that we wanted to get from the day. His commentary in telling us about things we were seeing was on point and at any time if we had questions relating to what we were seeing, he was able to answer them, as we drove towards Milford Sound. The cruise ... well you just have to do it!! at least once in your life. I upgraded to the scenic flight back to Queenstown and was so glad I did. Another WOW, WOW moment/s.

    Great guide, spectacular scenery
    The tour was excellent. Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable and an excellent photographer who kept us merry the whole way. The cruise was amazing - spectacular views and we were lucky enough to spot a couple of penguins while we were there! Can highly recommend this tour if you want a great guide and spectacular scenery :)

    Choose Cheeky Kiwi Travel, small family run business with that extra something!
    We had Colin as our driver who picked up 6 friends just down the road from our accommodation, so simple! The drive flew by with great scenery stop offs and Colin's knowledge of the area. I think you'd be lucky to have any type of weather at Milford Sound, we had sunshine on this occasion! But wrap up warm and then some, bring bug repellent and then sit back and just take it all in. A great family run business and we loved that it was a small tour of 16 people rather than a large coach that wouldn't have been able to stop as many times due to quantity of people. Highly recommended! Thank you Colin and the team!

    Amazing experience, best driver and guide
    Shinchan was a wonderful guide - humorous, knowledgeable and resourceful. We got in before the crowds and got to stop in more interesting spots along the way with unique experiences and breathtaking views. Milford sound is one of the most beautiful places in the world and Shinchan made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!

    Amazing trip, amazing guide!
    Crystal was a great guide who had endless amounts of knowledge on the country. She kept a positive attitude that despite the rain, kept everyone on track and happy. The views were stunning and even though it was raining, that made it even more beautiful by adding hundreds of waterfalls to the surrounding landscape.

    Great adventure!
    Our driver, Peter, made the long bus ride interesting with stories and history of the areas we drove through.There were only 7 passengers on the trip. We stopped at a salmon farm and a few stretch breaks along the way. The hike up Hooker Valley was great and Mt. Cook was visible several times. The path became too slushy with ice for us to complete it, but the view from the 2nd swinging bridge was amazing. The river was glacier blue and the mountains were all around us. It was worth the long drive.

    Great ride together!
    The guide was awesome and shared tons of interesting factoids about the various locations. The route also meant that there was many opportunities to snap great pics too. Finally, although the weather meant that certain activities were out of bounds, the guide made great effort to provide us with safe alternatives. The guide was also personable and put in genuine effort to ensure that the entire journey was comfortable and memorable.

Pete was a great tour guide. We stopped at a lot of good sightseeing spots that the larger tour buses just passed by. The bus trip gave us a great close up view of the country. We were very fortunate to have a clear sunny day for our cruise. The cruise experience was highly enjoyable. Good commentary from the skipper and a comfortable boat. Flying back made the trip just perfect. Again we were lucky to have clear skies and smooth flying conditions. The flight gives a complete contrast to the drive. From the go round you know there are lots of mountains but from the air you see that there is a jaw dropping number. Our pilot,Connor provided good commentary. Would thoroughly recommend spending the extra to include the flight

A truely magical trip that more than met all my expectations. The scenery was unbelievable as was the tour guide whose knowledge of the area was thorough. He also immersed us in both the cultural and environmental importance of this area and brought the trip to life with his humour and passion.

What a wonderful experience! Milford sound is beautiful! Long bus ride but our driver, Dave, kept us entertained and stopped at some beautiful lookout points for photo opportunities. He was very knowledgeable of the area and was very informative. Our package included the flight back to Queenstown but because of bad weather coming in it was canceled. Our money was refunded that evening! Would highly recommend this excursion.

We initially started out as a bus only tour but upgraded to the fly home option when the weather was so good. Such an incredible experience! Sinchan was our tour guide and was excellent. He had a lot of enthusiasm and provided interesting info along the way.

What an amazing trip. The scenery was just stunning. We have fallen in love with the South Island. What I love the most is the informative interactive way Kreigh interacted with his passengers aka family for the day. Loved learning about the edible plant species, birds and human story of Māori . We even get to meet this Kea

Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable about all the flora, fauna and history on the way to Milford Sound and made plenty of stops at picture perfect locations.

The cruise itself was a little below expectations but only because it had not rained recently and there was not as much water flowing as usual but that is not the tour companies fault.

The flight back to Queenstown was the highlight for us. Spectacular scenery all the way for the short flight.

Had a great time with our extremely knowledgable, enthusiastic and fun guide, Sinchan. He told us all about the scenery we were passing by, and even some of the local legends. The van was very clean and had high windows so everyone could see out. The cruse was also great. We were on a smaller boat with plenty of seating for perfect views inside and outside on the decks. We would highly recommend!

Thank you Sinchan and Connor you were both amazing today. Firstly the drive to Milford Sounds with Sinchan was the best experience. Sinchan provided the most knowledgeable trip I have ever experienced. Nothing was a problem and he made the trip super fun. Thank you once again Sinchan. Next was the return flight back to Queenstown after the magnificent Milford Sounds cruise which was also fantastic. Wow what a flight with Connor. The view and commentary from Connor was great. Well done Sinchan and Connor for a great day. Happy very much to recommend. Thanks from Ash and Team McQuie
