Gambaran keseluruhan

Home of the world’s only truly alpine parrot, the Kea, Arthur's Pass boasts dramatic terrain, powerful waterfalls, unique fauna, native Beech forest, and engineering feats.

Join us as we travel from Christchurch to the wild West Coast. Your morning to midday will be spent travelling via the Great Alpine Highway, stopping to explore the jaw dropping geology and geography of Castle Hill and Arthur’s Pass. Once arriving on the West Coast, you will return aboard the world famous TranzAlpine, travelling through the 8km long Otira tunnel, past Lake Brunner and majestic mountains, and across braided rivers before arriving in Ōtautahi. You will be driven in comfort by our modern, comfortable Mercedes Sprinter (or similar) packed with the extras to make the trip that bit easier. Led by our fun, knowledgeable, and passionate tour guides, this journey is one you will never forget!

As this tour operates in an alpine region, the weather can be unpredictable so please prepare for all conditions.

Christchurch (Sambil lalu)

We start by leaving Ōtautahi Christchurch, also known as New Zealand's Garden City. As we head inland, our knowledgeable guide will point out some of the central city highlights.

Castle Hill

Castle Hill, or Kura Tāwhiti, is perhaps one of Canterbury’s most distinguishable settings. Famous for its scenery that would later inspire Middle Earth™, nearby Flock Hill, who Castle Hill shares its geology with, went on to become one of the filming locations used for The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The weathered limestone rocks sit proudly abreast the tussocky hills that were once in the ocean. Over time they have eroded away, forming the amazing unique shapes you see today. While you walk amongst the rocks, you might catch a glimpse of climbers and boulderers who frequent the area. Please note that this is not a guided walk, so you will be left to explore this piece of beauty on your own.

Lake Lyndon

Next up we stop at Lake Lyndon. Nestled at the base of Porters Pass, Lyndon, or Te Hāpua Waikawa, is popular amongst jetboaters, bird watchers, and brave swimmers. It is known as one of this area's colder lakes.

Arthur's Pass National Park

After a short drive we land in Arthur’s Pass Village. Located 740 metres above sea level, you will be able to experience the majestic Southern Alps up close. Once we arrive, you can choose to either walk to Devils Punch Bowl, or grab a coffee and spend some time exploring the local shops. Devils Punch Bowl - This walking track is approximately 1 hour long, with a gradual incline (including steps) towards a ferocious 131 metre tall waterfall. Fitness is low to moderate as you walk through the bush and native beech forest. Please note that depending on time, your guide will let you know how long you have and will assist you on the day in regard to the best activity for the weather and time allocated.

Otira Viaduct Lookout

Also known as Death's Corner, the Otira Viaduct Lookout is an amazing spot to see the National Park in all its glory. This bridge is the only reason that driving through Arthur’s Pass is possible today. At 440 metres long, it is a true feat of engineering. The lookout is a great spot for a photo framing viaduct and the surrounding landscape. Keep your eyes peeled at this stop! With a bit of luck, you might even see a wee Cheeky Kea - New Zealand’s sneaky alpine parrot!
