Epic Sights & Sounds

Epic experience! Danny did a fantastic job guiding us throughout the day - from stops and fun tidbits to special hidden LOTR gems and an exceptional playlist to the journey. Milford Sound was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Excellent service - highly recommended

We highly recommended Danny as our driver and tour guide to our Milford cruise. He was punctual , very organised with the stop overs eg coffee & toilet breaks, photo taking & been spoilt with snacks, water & lunch that has been provided. He was also entertaining & not boring, Danny had excellent knowledge about the country, professional, courteous and very easy to approach - He even took photos for everyone who asked him to. He ensure our safety is his responsibility. Our group were very looked after - from start to finish. He ensure my husband Jack is comfortable during the tour due to his motion sickness. He did go far and beyond. Danny is highly recommended.

Amazing Day.

What an amazing day. Amy was so informative and kept us all entertained the whole day. She was safe and professional! The small bus was comfortable and the boat tour the best. Milford Sound is breath taking. It’s a must do when in Queenstown and Cheeky Kiwi Tours are the ones to do it with!! Best day out.
