Queenstown to Franz Josef via Wanaka Small Group Day Tour (1-Way)

Kristina and Shura were wonderful and knowlegeable. Took us to wonderful places and gave us a thorough enjoyable experience. Thank you for a fantastic day.

Informative fun tour guide/s and a very well designed itinerary with enough time to really get the feel of the location stops. Enjoyed the walks and commentary.

Lynnette was our driver/guide for our tour from Queenstown to Franz-Jozef. She was wonderful and we had lovely time learning about the different areas we passed through and stopped at. The walks we did were so enjoyable and Lynnette was so good at telling what to look for. And thank you for the tip on the glow worms in Franz-Jozef. What a neat experience!!

Kristina gave an excellent tour with lots of relevant commentary, she is very knowledgeable! She was also great at interacting with all the guests.

CheekyKiwi, wow! Our tour guide Martin was fantastic! We got picked up on time for part 1 of our tour, Queenstown to Franz Josef. What an excellent tour, and Martin was spot on for the entire day. Made the best recommendations and drove like a pro. Thank you!!!

This two-day trip from Queen Town to Christchurch is amazing! Professional and attentive guides, along the way to the Hotel Cedrona, Lake Vanaka, Lake Havaiya to the magnificent Rae River Falls and glacier views. Whether it is natural beauty, comfortable experience or photographing memories are super satisfying, really very worth participating and recommending!

Great guide and driver, friendly and knowledgeable. The route was scenic and feels like I saw so much of the South. Loved the walks and appropriate number of stops so didn’t feel rushed but felt like we packed in a lot. Very much enjoyed.

It’s a nice and pleasant trip to Franz Josef with enough stops to rest and stretch as well as to look around the places. Guide is very informative and helpful. Thank you

I had a truly memorable experience on my Queenstown to Franz Josef tour, thanks to the outstanding service from Cheeky Kiwi Travel and our incredible guide, Hannah. From the moment the trip began, Hannah impressed us with her deep knowledge, warm personality, and genuine sincerity. She was friendly, hospitable, and consistently attentive to everyone’s comfort throughout the long journey. Her driving skills were exceptional — smooth, confident, and safe — which made the entire trip feel relaxing and enjoyable. It’s clear she is both highly experienced and passionate about what she does, and her professionalism elevated the entire tour. The day itself was filled with stunning highlights: the crystal-clear waters of Blue Pool, the iconic beauty of Lake Wanaka, the refreshing spray of Thunder Creek Falls, and the breathtaking views of Franz Josef Glacier. Each stop was made even more meaningful through Hannah’s stories, insights, and enthusiasm. Overall, this tour became especially unforgettable because of Hannah’s dedication and passion. Cheeky Kiwi Travel is incredibly fortunate to have such a remarkable guide on their team. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a smooth, scenic, and enriching journey across the South Island.

Our guide Jonathan was very knowledgeable and friendly. He has a good sense of humour and made our whole journey very enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone who is gg Franz Josef.
