Amazing experience with Cheeky Kiwi Tours!We had such a wonderful experience with Cheeky Kiwi Tours, but what truly made our trip extra special was our amazing driver and tour guide, Nikki! She was incredibly thoughtful, energetic, knowledgeable, and so patient throughout the entire day. You can genuinely tell that she loves what she does and cares about making sure everyone has the best experience possible.We’ve done several tours during our travels, and Nikki truly stood out. We honestly wish she could have been our guide for every tour we did in New Zealand! 😂🇳🇿Thank you, Nikki, for making an already beautiful trip even more memorable. Cheeky Kiwi is lucky to have you! Highly recommend! ❤️I’m

Excellent experience with friendly very knowledgeable pilots who made this once in a lifetime trip very special

Hannah had great information and stories throughout the entire day, she gave us clear timings and everything ran so smoothly! We were very lucky with the weather and the hooker track being reopened!

We had an absolutely fantastic day!! Abbey was wonderful!! She shared interesting history about New Zealand along the way and took the time to connect with every single guest. It was very obvious that she loves what she does!! And Mt. Cook itself was simply magical. We did the Hooker Valley Track, and it was spectacular!! Also, Abbey made great stops to and from the mountain, which added to the trip. Thank you!!

It was by far our #1 most thrilling experience in NZ… Their FOH team, Wicco and Harry, were absolutely amazing and so helpful. We really appreciated everything they did for us and made the whole experience even more special.Sam, our pilot, was also fantastic and very engaging. He gave us lots of interesting background about everything we were seeing from the helicopter and even took some amazing photos of us on top of the mountain!An absolutely unforgettable experience! 🚁🏔️

This experience was the highlight of our whole trip to NZ and I will never get over it! A core memory forever. The best money I’ve ever spent. If you are on the fence about doing this chopper ride, just do it! Landing on the glazier was so cool. Our pilot Richard was amazing and so skilled. Thank you for flawless experience.

The price is worth. The guide is friendly.

Professional and Safe. Good weather to view Mt Cook and other peaks along the flight path.

Awesome and unforgettable, friendly and experience staff. I will definitely go again

My guide was Jason. He was super punctual for pick-up. A friendly and engaging guide, he told us about the places that we were passing by, and stopped for pictures and ice cream. I reached my accomodation on time.

Awesome experience and very supportive staff. Peaceful place. All safety protocols were thoroughly followed by the pilot.
