Start with the conclusion, it is a good decision to book this trip 推荐预订 Say something you cannot see in the introduction:1) Wanaka and arrow town are also included 2)tour guide is very responsible and enthusiastic and talkative (Shawn is the best)(hope I spell this name right) 3)中国人必看这个网站还是靠谱的,一开始我很担心被骗钱,但是后来也正常旅行下来了,对不开车出行的人来说很友好
Must do South Island experience!

Book this tour now! One of the highlights of our South Island holiday, this tour was spectacular from start to finish. On our first day we drove from Auckland to Hooker Valley, stopping to admire the scenery along the way. Once there were did the Hooker Valley hike up to Galcier Lake, it had just snowed and looked spectacular. We enjoyed a stunning sunset over the Southern Alps on our way to Lake Tekapo. That night we did the Lake Tekapo hot pool and star gazing, we got to look at the stars and planets through their telescopes and listen to folk stories about the constellations as we soaked in the hot pools until midnight. On the second day we were helicoptered up to the Tasman Glacier where we hiked around on top and in the glacier, it was an amazingly serene experience. Mark, our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to us throughout the trip. He went out of his way to cater the trip around the weather and our interests. Highly recommend this trip and a big thanks to Mark and the Cheeky Kiwi team for making this such an awesome experience for us!

What amazing feedback, thank you for sharing. We agree - this tour really is the best of everything. PS: We hope you drove from Queenstown (rather than Auckland) as that would be a massive day on the road :)
