Reviews: Queenstown to Christchurch via Mt Cook One-Way Tour
Guest User2026-01-10
Joe and Jay were fantastic drivers and very helpful along the way. They were very patient with the diverse group of travelers who were always late or had some issue. Very kind of them. I mainly booked this as a transport from Quernstown to Christchurch so it definitely met the mark, the whole “Mount Cook” visit is a bit confusing. You just roll up to this place and then they say “OK you can go hike for 3 hours and meet back here.” It was raining and I wasn’t hiking anywhere but the cafe at the hotel was nice. Unfortunately weather didn’t allow for any helicopter rides which I planned to do. Overall good trip.★

Reviews: Christchurch round-trip + Aoraki / Mount Cook + Lake Tekapo + Church of the Good Shepherd + Lake Pukaki 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-06
It was a fantastic English-language day tour with friends from all over the world on board. The drivers were from Nepal, the US, and New Zealand. They were very friendly and professional. The journey was quite tiring, but Ye kept chatting with us, making us feel less lonely. Although the itinerary was rushed, it was still very fulfilling, and we visited all the places we wanted to see.★

Reviews: From Christchurch: Queenstown via Tekapo & Mt Cook Day Trip
Guest User2025-12-25
Our family of 4 had Diana and Joe as our guides. Diana picked us up in CHC and narrated the history of the sights we visited as she drove the van down to Mt Cooke. Very informative! We were going on to Queenstown so we switched to Joe's van, who was also very helpful and friendly. It was stress-free travel with everything taken care of, including bathroom breaks, prearranged lunch and snacks/water. Highly recommend!★

Reviews: Lake Tekapo: 50-Minute Mount Cook and Beyond Scenic Flight
Guest User2026-01-23
It was a fantastic experience. We were incredibly lucky with the weather at Mount Cook. Brilliant sunshine and hardly any bumps. The pilot's explanations were very helpful. We flew close to Mount Cook and the other mountains, all the way to the west side of the island, and saw the Tasman, Fox, and Franz Josef glaciers from above. From the ground, these glaciers are practically inaccessible. Highly recommended!
