Excellent journey and wonderful singing bus driver! Well worth doing, I didn't have many days to travel the south island so I would recommend this journey as you still see quite a lot! It was a wonderful bright day in Mount Cook - only wished I could have stayed there the night to do a bigger walk! Great, friendly bus driver who was easy to listen to, sang nice local songs and very informative about the region and NZ history.
This is a convenient way to see Spectacular Mt. Cook and traverse from Christchurch to Queenstown.
So happy that I signed up for this trip. The only thing I wish is that we could have had more time in the Mount Cook region. We drove right past the Church of the Good Shepherd without slowing down for a photo and only had an hour at Mount Cook. I didn't have the ability to stay the night in the area since it was booked for the holidays, so this was my best option so that I didn't completely miss the mountain. If you have the option, stay in the area.
Too expensive for the value. we hardly stop 10 minutes for photo stop and 45 minutes for lunchbreak. otherwise it was only driving. i could have done this with intercity, and it would have only cost me 100. really a swindlle
