Itinerary: 

Aoraki Mt Cook National Park - Departing the Mt Cook Village, we should get some amazing shots of the mountain itself (weather depending).

The Salmon Stop (time dependent activity) - The Mackenzie District is famous for its host of premium salmon. Depending on time, we will stop at a local farm where you will have the opportunity to learn more and purchase some delicious freshwater salmon for yourself.

Ōmārama Clay Cliffs (10-15 minutes) - Departing Mt Cook National Park, we return down State Highway 80 to Ōmārama; this time stopping for a quick photo opportunity at the town’s famous clay cliffs. These unique structures are the product of repeated ancient glacial flows, which over time, have built up to the craggy pinnacles you see today. 

Lindis Pass - Returning back through the Lindis Pass, we stop at a scenic lookout. The breathtaking tussocked valleys are a sight to behold year round, warranting a photo stop. With many stations in the area running Merino sheep, keep your eyes peeled as it is not uncommon to see these on route. 

Wānaka - Our tour ends here, in the beautiful alpine township of Wānaka.
Please note additional stops are taken into consideration for toilet breaks.

We at Cheeky Kea Travel believe it is our small groups, our guides, the journey, and all those little details that set our tours well apart. Secret stops, wildlife viewings, specially designed vehicles, complimentary refreshments, and many other fun surprises ensure our tours are an experience to remember.
