To another world with the happy Abi from cheeky Kiwi tours - A fantastic and exciting day with Abi and Cheeky Kiwi Tours. Our guide Abi was the happiest of people willing to give us the ultimate experience. The stops along the way for photo ops were spectacular. The picnic lunch was delicious and generous nothing to fault there. Milford Sound was very mystical and being a small group we were able to be on a boat that catered for that. There were seals, penguins, dolphins and waterfalls, with the low cloud it made for an even more spectacular time. The journey back to queenstow was enhanced by our lovely Abi and his jolly sense of humour..

Flight back was fantastic - The first 2 hours was in the dark during the winter months, but once the sun came out and we entered the Fiordland National Park area it was beautiful. The cruise in Milford sound was very relaxing and the flight back was fantastic. Overall a great day experience.

Small group tour from Queenstown to Milford Sound with cruise and flight back - The whole trip was memorable with stopping points along the way. The cruise through the sound was breathtaking and the best bit was the flight back over the mountains.

Milford Sound small group + cruise + flight back to Queenstown - Stunning landscape and we were very well looked after - happy to recommend to others. The flight back to Queenstown allowed us to save the best to the last at the end of the tour.

The guide makes all the difference! - Very comfortable tour with a knowledgeable guide, Cameron. He demonstrated his passion for the outdoors and nature; love of NZ, which really shows how much he takes this job seriously - a true professional and his company should be proud to have an employee like him. He was patient with a new employee that followed us on the tour for her training (Sonia) - if she is going to be a future guide, she should start to demonstrate customer-centric behaviour now - she hops onto the front seat without even opening the door for the customers… little things count! She doesn’t help Cam out with water or the lunches… and we overheard her odd questions to him about the management of Cheeky Kiwi - which should NOT be discussed in front of customers. Cam was very professional - he told her NOT to think of those things and concentrate on being a good guide. Thanks Cam!

Milford Sound - We had a wonderful day. Lynette was a friendly, knowledgeable and a safe driver. The journey although long is spectacular, truly stunning scenery. The cruise was again spectacular and a must if you are in NZ.

Well worth it! - We had a great time on the tour - even though we had a car rental throughout our time in Queenstown, choosing this tour couldn't have been a better choice considering that we got to sit back, relax while we drove down from Queenstown to Milford with guided commentary about NZ. For the cost, it was well worth it for us with lunch, the drive and cruise all booked in together. Our guide was super fun and we really had a great time!

Stunning views! - Stunning scenery! Must do for the area. Clear communication and friendly guide in a small group. Multiple short stops at gorgeous views to make bus ride comfortable. The cruise was affected by a malfunction and couldn’t be completed , they tried but felt like we kept going in a circle!The amazing flight experience however made up for it and was incredible. Highly recommend with flight option!
