A Solo Traveler’s First Time in New Zealand
After flying in to Invercargill and experiencing some especially harsh weather, Jason was a shining beam of positivity and sunshine!He picked me up at my hostel, exactly on time and even gave us the option to be picked up earlier (a few people didn’t respond to the email so this wasn’t possible). Despite some unexpected road closures and detours, Jason navigated us through and around all of it, and still got us to our accommodations in time for dinner.From the moment he picked us all up, to the scenic drive to Te Anau, Jason kept us informed, entertained and inspired. As an avid hiker myself, I was able to glean so much information and confidence from him about the Kepler track and all the surrounding areas.This was a standout experience and I feel renewed energy for the rest of my trip in New Zealand. Thank you Jason, and thanks to Cheeky Kiwi Travels.

Thoroughly recommend
A great way to explore a few different vineyards without having to drive and be able to enjoy the local produce. Our driver, Pete, was great - friendly and able to answer our questions/advise on what would be best for our day. Good local knowledge and answered lots of our questions about New Zealand. All stops ran very close to the schedule and there’s a good variety of stops to suit everyone.

Comfortable and informative scenic transfer!
An excellent way to cross the country in comfort, to see beautiful scenery, and to learn more about New Zealand. Paru was an excellent guide and helped to make the day go much faster than we thought it would. The periodic and interesting stops were perfectly timed with very informative narrative of why we were stopping and what we would see. Highly recommend!

Excellent way to take in Blenheim and the wine regions
Fabulous day. All staff from check-in arrival to final drop off were very friendly and helpful. Commentry from the drivers between stops was informative and gave a great insight into the area. We picked 4 stops and was easily done to get back to ship on time. Buses ran on time and never full. A fabulous way to enjoy the area.

Marlborough NZ HOHO
The best organized HOHO we have ever taken and we have done many. Buses were constantly monitored so that no one was waiting for a bus. Extra buses followed scheduled buses to keep people moving and their communications system assisted that movement. Drivers were knowledgeable about each stop and had recommendations if you got off. All in all a very well run operation.

A stunning way to transit NZ.
We travelled from Invercargill to Te Anau with Cheeky Kiwi. As the weather was clear our driver Jason, a local from Te Anau, proposed to his customers that we take a slightly longer coastal route. We were all eager and in favour of taking up his suggestion. We were thrilled to take in the stunning coastal scenery, driving west towards the majestic Fiordland. We made several short stops in order to take full advantage of the experience. Jason was informative and helpful, a skilled driver. The transport vehicle was clean and comfortable. The communication regarding pick up times etc was clear and timely.

A fabulous day in Napier
Our cruise ship arrived a day late on New Years Day - a public holiday. The Hop on Hop Off crew worked hard to look after us and their positivity and hospitality was excellent. The team was very knowledgeable and had already called ahead to the stops to check which ones were open on NY day - thank you for such a wonderful, if not quick, stop in Napier! Highly recommended!
