We really enjoyed the trip, especially the trek itself toward the snow-capped mountains and the lake, which featured a glacier and floating ice chunks. Our driver-guides were excellent and shared a great deal of interesting information. We highly recommend it.

The overall trip was great! Cheeky Kiwi provided ample rest and toilet stops along the way, and gave us plenty of time in Mt Cook to be able to do some hiking. There were snacks and water provided too! Just to note that there was an exchange of drivers/tour guides in Mt Cook, though we stayed in the same vehicle, so that made it a smooth and hassle-free transition. The drivers/tour guides were knowledgeable and pleasant. Just to note, there were some complaints from the tour guides from the Mt Cook to Christchurch side regarding the Queenstown tour guide for not dropping off other clients in their hotels. I thought these complains would have been better to be communicated internally amongst the Cheeky Kiwi team rather than sharing it for all of us to hear. Still an overall great experience not to be missed!

Mount Cook trip was a fantastic experience, made more memorable due to great weather. Drivers made it interesting and were responsive to questions.
