TranzAlpine Train, Arthur's Pass og Castle Hill Day Trip
Beskrivelse
Oplev sydøens bemærkelsesværdige naturlige landskaber ved at tage en tur på TranzAlpine-toget fra Christchurch til Arthurs Pass, som betragtes som en af verdens største togrejser for det landskab, som det passerer. Nyd den betagende udsigt over Canterbury-sletterne, de sydlige alper, isfodret Waimakariri-floden, frodige bøgeskove og fantastiske landskaber. Udforsk vandrestier i Arthurs Pass National Park med spektakulær udsigt over bjergene og uberørte vandfald. Capture spejlbilleder ved Lake Pearson & vandre gennem de majestætiske kalkstensklodser på Castle Hill. En perfekt dagstur til naturelskere, vandrere og eventyrsøgende.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Når vi har hentet dig fra dit valgte sted omkring 07:00 om morgenen, overfører vi dig til TranzAlpine for en af verdens mest naturskønne jernbanerejser. Nyd den betagende alpine udsigt fra panoramavinduer eller udendørs vogn. Din guide vil møde dig på Arthur's Pass Station for at starte din bjergtur.
Mens du nyder togrejsen, rejser din guide foran for at møde dig lige på platformen ved Arthur’s Pass Station. Derfra kører vi til Otira Viaduct udkig for spektakulære udsigter - herunder de levende røde Rata blomster i løbet af sommeren. Hold øje med den frække Kea, New Zealands nysgerrige alpine papegøje! Vores bjergudforskning fortsætter med et besøg i den fantastiske Avalanche Creek Waterfall og flere andre naturskønne højdepunkter i nationalparken.
Til højdepunktet af din eftermiddag, anbefaler vi stærkt Devils Punchbowl gåbane. En afslappet 1 timers tur tilbage fører dig gennem frodig bøgeskov til bunden af et tordnende 131 meter vandfald. Vandets magt og tågen på dit ansigt gør dette til en uforglemmelig alpine oplevelse
Efter din gåtur, nyde nogle velfortjent nedetid i den charmerende Arthur's Pass landsby. Du vil have masser af tid til at nyde frokost på et lokalt café, gennemse det historiske besøgscenter, eller bare nyde den fredelige bjergatmosfære, før vi fortsætter vores rejse.
Vores tur tilbage til Christchurch tager en anden rute med vej, der tilbyder landskaber, som togsporene ikke når. Vores første stop er den rolige Lake Pearson. Denne højtliggende sø er berømt for sine glasfulde, spejllignende refleksioner af de omkringliggende bjerge - en fotografs drøm og et perfekt sted for en fredelig eftermiddags pause.
Stop på Flock Hill: Oplev den fantastiske 'Narnia' filmoptagelsessted. Dette sted blev præsenteret i Disneys The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe som den primære slagmarken - en spektakulær indstilling omgivet af den hårde skønhed af Craigieburn Valley.
Vores sidste højdepunkt: Oplev 'Treasure from Afar' på Kura Tāwhiti. For Ngāi Tahu iwi, dette område har Tōpuni status - en symbolsk maske af beskyttelse over sine hellige værdier. Mens du går den nemme adgangsbane, kigge efter spor af 500 år gamle kultegninger og lære, hvordan disse sten blev dannet 30 millioner år siden, da New Zealand stadig var under et grunt indre hav.
Efterlader vi bjergene bag os, rejser vi gennem de store Canterbury Plains. Vi gør et sidste, lækkert stop i den landlige by Springfield for at se den berømte gigantiske donut - et must-foto landemærke! Derfra er det en afslappende sidste ben tilbage til byen, hvor vi siger vores farvel og droppe dig på dit valgte sted.

We would certainly recommend this tour. It started with us being picked up from our hotel on time and taken to the train station. The train journey lived up to our expectations - sat back, engaged with other tourists & enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Our guide met us as we exited the train at Arthurs Pass & he ensured everyone was looked after for the rest of the tour, providing umbrellas & ponchos to help us keep dry. He was great! Very knowledgeable and managed everything at the right pace.

It is fantastic to know our guide looked after everyone so well with the umbrellas and ponchos, and that you enjoyed his knowledge and pacing. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future! KInd Regards
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, whose name I didn’t get, did a wonderful job taking us around Arthur’s Pass and Castle Hill and providing information on the area. The bus was delayed picking up the group in Arthur’s Pass after the train ride, but the company did a great job with keeping the group updated as to when our guide would arrive. The hike up to the Devil’s Punchbowl Falls was worth it, and the loop at Castle Hill was great as well. I would recommend this tour.
Kia Ora Lisa C, Thank you for the great review and recommendation! We are happy to hear you loved the views at Castle Hill and the hike to Devil's Punchbowl Falls. We always aim to keep our guests updated if unexpected delays happen, so we appreciate you mentioning our communication. We will pass your compliments on to your guide! Safe travels!
Amazing well organised tour. Very experienced driver and guide. Scenery speaks for itself - breathtakingly beautiful. Great day 👍
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you had a well-organized day and enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. Our team works hard to provide a seamless experience, so your kind words mean a lot to our driver/ guide. Thanks for the thumbs-up!
