Would highly recommend this tour - Totally enjoyed our tour. First time to see those places. It was great to be amongst God’s beautiful nature and wildlife. Didn’t expect the Kea bird to be friendly. A bit too friendly actually but was eventually harmless anyway. Had enough time to totally enjoy the scenic beauty of each place. Our tour driver was really knowledgeable, helpful, polite, great… just wanted to apologise because I have forgotten his name. We did the tour on Oct 16, 2024, please pass on our thanks to him for making the journey enjoyable & memorable.

Well worth the trip - Our guide Paul made our journey very smooth and memorable! Started off with an immaculate and clean van, being handed Kiwi snacks (a great range of goodies). Whilst we didn't do the Jet Boating, our friend did and had a great time. The couple at Alpine Jets were very warm and welcoming. (The lunch the lady made was scrumptious too) Castle Hill was definitely our highlight due to the fresh snow. The track is fairly easy to get through. Devil's Punchball Waterfall was worth the gazillion stairs up and down! Overall, despite a long day, it was quite relaxed and weren't rushed at any of our stops. Highly recommend going with Cheeky Kea Tours, this was our second tour and definitely not disappointed.

A long but worthwhile day trip - This excursion is a long day, but with many sights along the way it doesn’t feel Ike too much driving. Paul was a very nice driver who had lots of interesting facts to tell us. Castle hill was definitely the highlight.

five stars ! - My first trip to NZ. This has been delightful experience. Beautiful views, just the right amount of hikes and rests (some of us also did a jet ski boating along the way -- super fun!). The guide Clive was experienced, knowledgable, friendly... Highly recommend !

Terrible experience, will never travel with this agency again! - Terrible experience with this agency. My trip was affected by a scrub fire. At the pick-up point in the early morning, The tour guide explained tt it would mostly be a trip on the coach, confirming that I can get a FULL REFUND if I’m not joining. However, Cheeky Kea Tours rejected my refund request on the next day. Aft multiple emails, the agency only agreed to 50% refund as a “gesture of goodwill”. Make a recording when this agency promise you verbally. They can take back their words easily!
