Følg med på en naturskøn dagstur fra Christchurch til Arthur's Pass, hvor du rejser gennem de betagende landskaber i de sydlige alper. Rejs på vej gennem det maleriske landskab, inden du ankommer til den alpine landsby Arthur's Pass. Her kan du udforske området eller deltage i en valgfri guidet tur til den spektakulære Devil’s Punchbowl Waterfall. På returrejsen til Christchurch kan du nyde et stop ved de dramatiske Castle Hill Boulders, en fantastisk naturlig legeplads bestående af storslåede kalkstenformationer, der er perfekte til udforskning og fotografering. Optionel opgradering : TranzAlpine Scenic tog - afhentning tid : 7 : 30 am Start dit eventyr i stil ved at opgradere til en envejs rejse på det verdensberømte TranzAlpine tog. Rejs fra Christchurch til Arthur's Pass med tog, nedsænkning i spektakulære bjerg- og daludsigt, før du slutter dig til resten af turen.

Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Du får mulighed for at udforske denne lille landbrugsby. Der er et meget populært bageri, der serverer mange kiwi-delikatesser og kaffe, et lille kunstgalleri og landbrugsforsyningsbutikker.
Besøg denne fantastiske alpine sø og nyd morgen te i en spektakulær alpine indstilling.
Besøg den lille alpine landsby Arthur's Pass. Arthur's Pass ligger i de sydlige alper og fungerer som en gateway for rejsende, der udforsker nationalparks fantastiske bjerglandskaber, vandrestier og dyreliv. Dette område er populært for udendørsaktiviteter som vandreture, ski i vinteren og fugleture. Her har du mulighed for at fordybe dig i det alpine miljø. Du kan nyde korte skovvandringer gennem nærliggende stier, tage ind i den indfødte alpine skov og muligvis se nogle lokale dyreliv. For dem, der søger et mere givende eventyr, er en valgfri guidet tur til Devil's Punchbowl Waterfall. Gåturen tager dig til et betagende sted, hvor vandfaldet kaskaderer dramatisk ned af klipperne, omgivet af dalens hårde skønhed.
Efter at have udforsket Arthur's Pass landsby, rejser vi til de fredfyldte kyster af Moana Rua (Lake Pearson) for en afslappet frokoststop ved søen.
Nyd en guidet tur på Kalkstein Sten af Kura Tawhiti / Castle Hill Reserve. Kura Tawhiti / Castle Hill er rig på lokal og kulturel historie og har fascinerende geologiske funktioner. De kalksten klipper er beliggende i de sydlige alper (bjergene), som fortæller os, at de er engang var dækket af et grunt hav. Under dit besøg vil du have mulighed for at prøve bouldering, en type klippeklatring, der tiltrækker klatrere til Castle Hill området fra hele området. Find unikke fotomuligheder. Din guide vil vise dig nogle af de bedste steder for gode billeder, eller du kan udforske massen af sten i dit eget tempo og mødes tilbage i parkeringspladsen.
Stopper ved den berømte Springfield Doughnut for en foto mulighed. Denne lille landby fik den overdimensionerede donut som et publicitetsstunt for at fremme "Simpsons Movie".

We came down from Auckland and had arranged to go on this trip. It did not disappoint and the best part was our guide Lachie. He was knowledgeable and friendly and we had the best weather you could ever ask for. I highly recommend doing this trip AAA+
Thank you for posting this wonderful review. Im so glad you enjoyed your day and spending time with your guide.
Great guide, seamless transition between rail and road travel. Lachie is passionate about his country and its history and culture. Excellent tour!!!
Thank you for posting this wonderful review for Lachie ;-)
jared was awesome!! very knowledgeable! picnic next to lake and then the large boulders at castle rock!! saw the potters fault line! hike to bottom of waterfall
Thank you for posting this review ;-)
We had great views to the mountains of southern New Zealand including such famous place as Castle Hill, and exciting underground journey inside the cave with a river - we went through all this underground river. That was not really easy, and I wouldn't recommend it to lazy people, but we wear happy (good tired and happy). All the equipment and special clouths were given by our guide as well as a picnic lunch with Castle Hill view. And yes, special thanks to our guide Lachie for all the care and organization!!!! That was really the most memorable day of our travel to New Zealand!
Thanks for making time to post this review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your excursion with Lachie. Note for anyone reading this review: this review should have been allocated to our Cave Stream and Castle Hill Shore Excursion. Our Arthurs Pass tour with optional TranzAlpine train does not include the caving activity mentioned n this review ;-)
It’s quite comfortable to take the train! Our guide John is very nice and friendly! The energy of Castle Hill is so nice that we did reach our inner peace.
Thanks for this lovely review, Andy. I'm glad you had a nice day out with John. I have to agree, including the TranzApline Train is a wonderful way to visit Arthurs and Castle Hill
Transalpine component is highly recommended. Reasonable amount of walking included. Informative tour guide.
Thank you for taking the time to post a review for us. I agree that the Trans Alpine train option is a fantastic way to explore Arthurs Pass.
We had the great fortune of spending the day with Alan Haslip, owner of Adventure by Nature. It was an amazing day starting with a train ride to Arthur's Pass, then hiking through the lush beech forest to a stunning 131 m waterfall at Devil's Punchbowl. We had a very enjoyable lunch (again, scenery was stunning), then the afternoon at the magical Kura Tāwhiti (Castle Hill). A day that will be long remembered, thanks so much Alan!
It was a pleasure hosting you for the day. Thank you for making the time to post this very nice review.
What an amazing gift from nature. Please do not drive past. It's an easy walk, and it is all so different close up than what you see from the carpark. Absolutely stunning. Around every corner the view changes completely.
Thank you for sharing this review with the TripAdvisor community.
Everything was just perfect. This is not an exaggeration. The sunny weather, huge rocks on the hill(I kept saying “WOW”), the kind, informative guide, and the delicious lunch, so what else do you need other than these? It was one of “the best” tours I’ve ever had :)
Wow, such a great review. Thanks ;-)
Nathaniel was a splendid guide, a fount of knowledge, a provider of delicious food and a careful driver. The highlight of my trip to Christchurch was Castle Hill and the spectacular rock formations. If you have the chance, put this tour at the top of your list.
Thanks you for taking the time to post this review for others to see.
