Cheeky Kiwi Lived Up to the Hype!

Had such a great day with Cheeky Kiwi visiting Hobbiton and Te Puia! Both places were amazing and definitely worth visiting. I had heard really good things about their tours in the South Island, so I was excited to experience one of their North Island tours myself today and they definitely lived up to the good reviews! Everything was well organised, the day went smoothly, and the team was friendly and helpful throughout. 🇳🇿✨

Not cheeky. An outstanding journey.

Excellent small group tour in a comfortable Mercedes van with friendly local guide Dave who kept us on track but not feeling rushed. He was welcoming, shared several insider tips once getting to Hobbiton as well a many helpful tips throughout. Both Hobbiton and Te Puia have their own guides that are well informed and charming. Both sites are awe worthy (stunning movie set in gorgeous bucolic working farm, seeing the elusive kiwi bird at Te Puia, and learning about Māori culture). Spring is perfect time to go; low crowds, mild weather, lambing season (adorable hoppy and hoppy lambs). Highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi for this combo excursion.

A Fantastic Day Exploring Hobbiton & Rotorua

Our trip to Hobbiton and Rotorua was fantastic! Pickup was right on time, and even though it was a long drive, the journey was smooth and enjoyable. We learned so much from our driver, who shared interesting information and stories along the way. And the great playlist was an added bonus! A big thank you to Vicki, our wonderful driver, for making the trip such a great experience. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the long drive feel effortless. Highly recommend!

Great experience and good value for money

Michael was patient, knowledgeable, friendly and personable. It was our first family trip and he made it easier and less stressful even though twice we had left our bag and camera at the tour stops. Cheeky Kiwi and Michael went above and beyond to get our bag and camera back. It was a full day and was made easier with the charging ports (USB A and USB C) and Michael's commentary.

Hobbiton & Rotorua w/ Cheeky Kiwi Travels 🥝🚌

Jeoff was fantastic! He gave us such a great tour, and whenever he could tell we were getting tired, he put on his playlist (which, I have to say, was excellent!) and let us catch up on some rest. Hobbiton and Rotorua are absolute must-sees! There’s so much to learn and experience, and the whole day was both fun and fascinating. We came away with so much insight and plenty of great memories! Overall, it was an amazing day - I’d highly recommend it! 🧝‍♂️🪵

Hobbiton and Rotorua

We loved this tour. It's a long day but so worth it. Both Hobbiton and Te Puia were very special places to visit. The tour at Hobbiton was exceptionally run and beyond amazing!!! Rotorua has to be visited, it's geothermal properties are incredible. The Maori art and education centre along with its geothermal Park are well run, informative and mind blowing. And we saw kiwi birds! Hanoz was a brilliant guide. He is professional, friendly and made our day special. He even took a detour so we could see the Blue Water Springs. He made us laugh, and was very informative, providing great insight. A trip to Lake Rotorua was a nice addition, and the ice cream stop at the end. Thanks Hanoz!
