February 5, 2026CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND – Grey Cheetah Limited today announced the official launch of the Grey Cheetah app and travel platform. Under the slogan “Ride Your Freedom”, this Christchurch-based company introduces a smarter, safer, and more flexible way for independent travellers to explore Aotearoa New Zealand without the stress of self-driving.
As global tourism returns to New Zealand, many international visitors face the challenge of navigating right-hand traffic, winding mountain roads, and long-distance fatigue. Grey Cheetah addresses this gap by combining a self-operated intercity bus network with a cutting-edge digital ecosystem. This all-in-one solution seamlessly integrates transport, tours, and technology, offering a stress-free alternative to car rentals.
A New Era of Non-Self-Driving Travel
“We built Grey Cheetah to be the smarter, safer way to see New Zealand,” said a Grey Cheetah spokesperson. “Our service empowers travellers to design their own itineraries with the same freedom as driving, but without the hassle. Whether hopping between major cities or diving deep into Middle-earth movie sets, our platform allows visitors to explore at their own pace, on their own terms.”
Key Features of the Grey Cheetah Experience
1. Extensive Network and Iconic Destinations
Unlike standard ticket aggregators, Grey Cheetah operates its own fleet to ensure consistent quality. The network connects major hubs across both the North and South Islands with New Zealand’s most iconic attractions. Key routes and destinations include:
North Island: Auckland, Rotorua (geothermal wonders), Taupo, and the cinematic Hobbiton Movie Set and Waitomo Glowworm Caves
South Island: Christchurch, Lake Tekapo (stargazing), Queenstown, Wanaka, and the majestic Milford Sound
Marine Encounters: Direct connections to Kaikoura for world-class whale and dolphin watching
2. “Land First Class” Comfort
Grey Cheetah coaches are specifically configured for long-haul comfort and sightseeing, addressing the physical fatigue of travel. The modern fleet features:
Ergonomic Seating: Designed for relaxation with ample legroom
Stay Connected: Individual USB charging ports at every seat and onboard Wi-Fi
Panoramic Views: Large windows showcasing New Zealand’s world-famous landscapes, from rolling farmland to snow-capped peaks
3. Smart Travel Tools
The proprietary Grey Cheetah App serves as a 24/7 digital travel companion:
Real-Time Tracking: The Trip Assistant feature allows passengers to see exactly where their bus is and track arrival times
Instant E-tickets: QR-code tickets are generated instantly upon booking, with simple scan-and-board access
Multi-Language E-Guide: GPS-triggered audio commentary provides immersive storytelling about scenery, history, and culture along the route
Local Expertise and Sustainable Tourism
Headquartered in Christchurch and established in 2025, Grey Cheetah is a proudly New Zealand-owned business. The company is committed to sustainable tourism by encouraging shared transport, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to individual rental cars. All drivers are local experts, trained to navigate New Zealand’s unique terrain while sharing their local knowledge.
Availability
The Grey Cheetah app is available for free download on the Apple App Store, supporting English and Simplified Chinese. An Android version and additional feature enhancements are planned for release later this year. Travellers can also plan, book, and manage one-way, round-trip, or multi-city journeys through the official website at www.greycheetah.co.nz.
