Christchurch to Arthur’s Pass by TranzAlpine, then guided minivan walks in the Southern Alps, with lunch and teas included.
“Jock, our guide, was amazing. Our trip was altered due to the weather and he still made it fabulous. Arthur's Pass beautiful and the view from the train spectacular. He threw in an impromptu tour of Christchurch at the end as we hadn't had a chance to look around. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.”
TranzAlpine train to Arthur's Pass plus alpine walks and Castle Hill boulders, guided stops, snacks, and Christchurch pickup in one day.
“Excellent day trip, the hike to devils punchbowl does require moderate fitness and proper shoes (which I wasnt aware of). Our guide was wonderful! The whole tour is well organised and the train is definitely worthwhile.”
10 hours from Christchurch to Castle Hill and Arthur’s Pass via Great Alpine Highway, Otira Viaduct, Kea spotting, and optional jet-boat fun.
“Loved Devils Punchbowl, even with the 388 steps, was worth it. Saw lots of Kea, Enjoyed the day, I didn’t do the train back but it didn’t detract from the trip. Lunch was good. I would say that none of our group wanted boat trip from the first stop, so it was far too long at this stop.”
TranzAlpine rail plus Southern Alps road touring to Arthur’s Pass, with scenic stops, a sheep farm with dog herding, and afternoon tea.
“A ton of activities packed into the day but definitely one to recommend. Stephanie was great and connected with us all. Three wonderful hikes with Cascade falls being incredible - worth the steps. Loved the small group and especially loved the experience at the farm learning about the life of working with sheep. And we got a great picture of a Kea.”
