Great solo experience with a fantastic guide

I joined the tour as a solo traveler and English is not my first language, but Ben made everything easy and enjoyable. He was very warm and enthusiastic, and he kept sharing interesting stories throughout the trip. There were nine people in our group, and everyone had a great time. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it.

Cheeky Kiwi are the way to go for a truly fun day out!

Where to start with this grear value tour. Sun; sea and seemingly endless fun! Ben our tour guide and driver set the tone for the day with his jovial, high sprited demeanor; even st 6.15am when he arrived at my hotel. What greeted us on a warm white sand beach after a two houe drive was like a scene from a movie. Well as Ben informed us, the stunning Cathederal Cove location was used in the film Narnia. Numerous photo captures and videos later we progressed onto the Hot Water sand each with bucket and spade in hand to dig our very own hot pool to la languish in only 20 to 30 metres in from the sea shore. Amazingly hot water gushes up from the sand after only digging a few feet. It's a fab communal activity and great for team/group bonding. Then one can go for a refeshing dip in the inviting ocean afterwards (Don't forget your swimwear) Overall this tour is truly the best way to spend the dsy if looking to book a tour and Cheeky Kiwi are the way to go for the all round fun experience. Highly recommended.

Great day out to the Coromandel Peninsula

Fabulous scenery, fun and knowledgeable guide, nice pace - it did not feel rushed at all. In terms of finding lunch during the lunch break, the Hahei ice crema and eatery is fine but not amazing.

5/5 experience

The van we rode in was perfect, not crowded, and with humongous leg room. Mark is an excellent tour guide and driver—not to energetic but not boring either.

A lovely day tour to Coromandel

Had a great time on this small group tour to the Coromandel Peninsula. Pearl was a fabulous guide, I especially appreciated the group text to keep us up to date on everything. The hike to Cathedral cove was a challenge, but beautiful and the hot water beach was crazy chaos. It was a long day that ended in ice cream with stunning nature in between.

Cathedral Cove trip - hot beach cool water

Amazing trip, thanks to the guides and the weather, were able to visit all the locations as planned. Huge thanks for our travel guides Jaime and Jayme (sorry if I spelt it wrong). Learnt so much about the history and fauna of Aotearoa New Zealand.

unforgettable journey through middle earth

My husband and I just finished an incredible tour, and we cannot recommend it highly enough! Our guide, Sam, was absolutely great. He did a lot of sharing about AKL and NZ as a whole —there is simply no substitute for a true local guide. The highlight was Hobbiton, which felt completely surreal. We felt so privileged to have a local Māori guide who was a master storyteller; she truly brought the movie sets to life and made us feel like we were stepping directly into the film. Her insights helped us relive our favorite scenes in the most magical way. The Glowworm Caves were another one-of-a-kind experience. While it’s a bit of a shame that photos aren’t allowed inside, the silence and the natural beauty made it even more atmospheric. The entire experience was seamless and truly amazing. Thank you for such an unforgettable day!
