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.

Cheeky Kiwi went above and beyond to give us a fantastic experience!

We enjoyed a fantastic day of sight seeing, hiking and exploring with Cheeky Kiwi. Our guide, Dean, kept us well informed and on schedule. He also adjusted plans to work around the weather and ensure that we got the best possible views of Mt. Cook and Tasman glacier. As a result, we were able to see everything promised and more! In addition, my daughter left an item on the van and Dean delivered it back to our hotel. We were thrilled with Cheeky Kiwi and highly recommend!

Great experience with Joseph with the mullet the legend

We had Joseph with the mullet as our tour guide, he was the best guide EVER!! He made the tour lots of fun and engaging as well as being very knowledgeable about the places we visited and answered any questions we had. He gave lots of recommendations and was very accommodating. We would recommend this tour to anyone who has the chance and shout out to joesph with the mullet. super glue secured crisis averted! #🔥🔥☄️☄️

Mesmerising Mt Cook tour

Dean ( I don't think I remember my guide's name correctly - but he was a bit on the older side in terms of age) is an extremely knowledgeable guide. I was sitting in the front seat of the van and I remember asking a lot of questions and he patiently answered all of them. The drive to mount cook and the tasman glacier trail was nothing short of mesmerising. Dean made sure to point out the significance of most of important points/lookouts during the tour. The mount cook decided to not hide behind the clouds on that day and therefore the entire drive along with the tasman glacier trail was so much more exciting. The hooker valley trail was also very good. The only thing I felt was - the time allotted for the trail was a bit short and could have been a bit more. Otherwise, I have no complaints. The tour was nothing short of mesmerising and I strongly recommend going for this!!

A must-do trip when in Queenstown!

Really good experience. Dean was a really good guide making the day one to remember. The views were stunning and you had time to explore the tracks at Mount Cook. The views on the road to mount cook were incredible as well. Highly recommend this trip.

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!
