A wonderful friendly atmosphere throughout the tour and a more personal experience

This was fab! From start to finish Danny was amazing. He was full of knowledge and enthusiasm created a great atmosphere for the tour. The stops along the way were amazing and everything went smoothly including a lovely packed lunch and super comfy mini bus. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone wanting to get a deeper insight into Milford Sound and the drive along the way!

Brilliant!!!!!

This trip was a lot of fun, it was relaxing, easy and educational. Shu, our bus driver shared her knowledge of the birds and nature as we drive past it. The size of the bus meant that it was more personal, with everyone getting to interact. Although it was a long day, Shu made sure we weren’t bored with frequent stops, choice of music, quizzes and stories. Getting onto the cruise at Milford sound was made very easy and understandable by Shu, it was straight forward and organised. We had an incredible time all round.

Incredible experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Milford Sound with Cheeky Kiwi. It is one of the most beautiful landscapes we have ever seen. The day was very well organised and we felt looked after. Our tour guide Amanda was welcoming, friendly and extremely knowledgeable - providing lots of interesting information about the county and local area. We would highly recommend.

Beautiful Milford

Long trip but well worth it. Milford Sound is truly beautiful. We were blessed with good weather and so the cruise was enjoyable and generally comfortable. Our tour guide on the road trip, Joe, gets top marks. He was knowledgeable, helpful and showed concern for our safety and comfort. Well done!

Incredible views with a great tour guide

We had a great trip with our guide Chris. He was very knowledgeable and provided the most amazing soundtrack during our drive, perfectly lining up songs that captured the atmosphere. We even had a game of his own version of Eurovision on the journey back which was great fun. We had a yummy vegan lunch supplied, and grabbed a vegan wrap at the cafe we stopped at on the way.

Thrilled I was able to do this. Bucket list worthy

Great guide with all the important tidbits that all travelers love. Fun day with just enough stops along the way for photo opps to remind us of what a spectacular planet we live on. Milford Sound was a dream. We were well cared for and would love to it again
