Itinerary

  • Aoraki Mount Cook National Park (Te Wahipounamu)

    Departing Mt Cook Village, weather depending, we should get some amazing shots of the mountain itself. At 3724m, Aoraki/Mt Cook is New Zealand’s highest peak, however, the mountain can be viewed without any acclimatisation whatsoever from the village which is just 750m above sea level.

    5 minutes

  • Lake Pukaki (Pass By)

    Travelling along one of the most beautiful roads in the world Lake Pukaki begins to emerge in front of us. Lake Pukaki is one of the bluest lakes you will ever see and is stunningly framed by the backdrop of Aoraki/Mt Cook and the Southern Alps. You are sure to get some amazing photos and marvel at the sight that we are beholding. It’s not hard to see why many Lord of the Rings scene were filmed nearby.

  • Lake Tekapo

    Welcome to the beautiful Tekapo! This turquoise blue lake is famous world over for its pristine beauty. We have a short time here but long enough to get those Instagram breaking photos explore the Church of the Good Shepard and see the Mackenzie dog before starting to head towards Christchurch.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    Next we will be arriving in the peaceful town of Geraldine for a final quick break before heading to your final destination - Christchurch. This quaint little town is mostly known for its rich agricultural heritage.

    5 minutes

  • Christchurch (Pass By)

    Sadly our journey must come to an end as we arrive in the vibrant city of Christchurch, the Garden City! We will drop you off at a central hotel or drop off point and hope that you enjoy your stay here

Long but interesting drive.

Published on Jan, 2025

Joseph was great. Told many interesting facts. Tried hard to make the long drive interesting and accommodated all the people that needed constant bathroom breaks.

Good experience

Amazing trip

Published on Dec, 2024

Driver + guide 2 in 1 is amazing Time management is good but it would be more happy if can spend a bit more time in Lake Tekapo for photo shooting

Fantastic

Published on Nov, 2024

Driver was great. Van was comfy and temperature in the van was just right. Stops were just frequent enough. Was a geat trip

Perfect Afternoon Tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Great scenic afternoon trip to Christchurch includes stops on the way there. Convenient pick-up from The Hermitage Hotel and drop-off at our Christchurch hotel. The previous day we did the morning Cheeky Kiwi one-way tour from Queenstown to Mt Cook which allowed us to stay overnight and spend over 26hrs at Mt Cook. Our Driver/Guide Chris was friendly and knowledgeable.
