"Had great day out on this tour. Mark, our guide was very entertaining and shared so much local knowledge. We visited some interesting places along the way to Arthur's Pass. The TranzAlpine train trip back was very comfortable with spectacular views.
Mark was there waiting for us at the train station in Christchurch to drop us back to our accommodation.
Thanks Cheeky Kea Tours".

"Sharing our experience of one of many tours we have booked with Cheeky Kea.
This one to Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook National Park.
Our guide Jess was lovely and put in extra effort to make us all feel welcome and involved. We did everything that was mentioned in the itinerary and then some. Would highly recommend this tour operator for their professionalism, service, and punctuality".
Bernie Lee - October 2025
"Did the Kaikoura whale watch and Arthur’s pass tour with Cheeky Kea.
Really enjoyed both tours, and we were fortunate to have Mark as our guide both times, his excellent knowledge of the areas really enhanced the tours.
Both tours were well paced and we got to see lots of fantastic sights".
