Discover the dramatic landscapes of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park and the Tasman Glacier on this small group, fully guided day tour from Queenstown. Journey through alpine passes, turquoise lakes, and high-country plains to reach the foot of New Zealand’s tallest mountain, where you’ll enjoy a guided walk to the Tasman Glacier Viewpoint. This is more than a day trip - it’s a journey through the heart of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, where awe-inspiring natural beauty meets fascinating stories and unforgettable experiences.

Please note

The Hooker Valley Track is currently closed beyond Müller Lookout (located between the first and second swing bridges) while the Department of Conservation replaces one of the bridges. This scenic section still offers stunning views and a rewarding hiking experience. The full track is expected to reopen in Autumn 2026.

Review for Driver/Guide Jo — Mount Cook Day Tour

We had a fantastic Mount Cook day tour today with Joseph as our driver and guide. He made a very long day feel smooth and enjoyable, keeping the journey comfortable with his calm driving, clear explanations, and thoughtful timing for every stop. Jo shared interesting stories about the lakes, mountains, and small towns along the way, giving us context that really enriched the scenery. He also managed the schedule well so we had plenty of time at the key viewpoints — especially around Lake Pukaki and Aoraki/Mount Cook — without ever feeling rushed. You can tell he genuinely cares about the experience of his guests. Even with the long travel time, his professionalism, patience, and sense of humour made the whole tour feel relaxed and memorable. A big thanks to Jo for making today’s Mount Cook trip so smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Must do!

I did the day trip to Mt Cook and the Hooker Valley, and Dave (I hope I’ve got his name right) was truly the most amazing tour guide I’ve ever had. Because I’m sensitive to car travel, I sat in the front seat and ended up having the most enjoyable conversations with him throughout the journey. The tour itself is a must-do — the hikes were very manageable, and the landscapes were absolutely breathtaking. I hope you’re lucky enough to have Dave as your guide; he’s a wonderfully gentle soul, especially given his previous line of work. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing Mt Cook & Tasman Glacier lookout Tour

The tour was a great success, our guide provided us with a wealth of information about New Zealand's history and shared many interesting facts, including some related to pop culture. The views I saw were incredible, at times, I wasn't sure whether to take a photo or simply enjoy the moment. It was truly amazing. At the end, I was able to cool off my overheated head with a delicious fruit ice cream.

1st tour with Cheeky Kiwi

We had an excellent driver/guide in Thijs. He was on time with pick-up as well as gave us a lot of helpful information. He was a safe driver. He even organized the best weather conditions so I decided at the last minute to join a heli-hike :-) That's another Bucket list item done! Very happy with this tour and the guide. Would recommend to others.

Excelente passeio.

Fantástico, desde o guia, o grupo pequeno, as paradas e o voo. Cumpriram o prometido. Paguei o voo à parte. Caro, mas valeu cada centavo.

Great way to experience the Mt. Aoraki and Lake Pukaki areas.

This was a great way to experience the Mt. Aoraki and Lake Pukaki areas. Great views from the trails in Mt. Aoraki National Park, and lookouts along the way there. Our guide was friendly and helpful. Good hiking shoes and warm layers recommended in October, since the weather can turn cold, rainy and windy, but if well prepared, this is a great tour. Plentiful snacks and water were provided, but there were several opportunities to purchase food and local products.
