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.
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.

It was a wonderful experience with the tour guide Mr. Anuj, who is extremely attentive and hospitable. He treated us warmly and made the journey a very comfortable experience. Anticipating the cold and rainy weather on the day, he had ponchos and umbrellas ready for everyone. He even served compliemntary snacks and trated us to Hocky Pocky chocolates as well as other salty snacks and water. His driving, navigation and oratory are excellent and it is very clear that he is very passionate about his profession. Regarding the tour: The Tranzalpine train journey is well worth it, especially in the open air compartments, and the return in the shuttle is a good combination to finish the trip. Overall a great experience.

Our team takes great pride in ensuring our guests are comfortable, rain or shine.

The hike to Devils Punch Bowl is an intermediate level as the stairs are quite a high step up. Thoroughly enjoyable once you reach your destination.
Kia Ora Michelle_S, Thanks for feedback! Those steps can certainly be a challenge, but we're so glad you found the spectacular finish worth the climb. Kind regards, NZSI Team
Excellent TranzAlpine tour to Arthur’s Pass. Our guide and driver, Anuj, was outstanding—knowledgeable, hardworking, and very attentive. A locomotive issue caused a major delay and made for an exceptionally long day, but Anuj remained upbeat, drove safely, and kept the experience enjoyable throughout. One of the best tours we have taken.
Kia Ora, Wow, thank you for such a kind review! Travel can always bring unexpected surprises like locomotive delays, but it is fantastic guides who make all the difference. Hearing that their attentiveness, knowledge, and safe driving stood out to you means the world to us. We’ll gladly pass your high praise on to them. Thank you for touring with us! Kind regards, NZSI Team
Fantastic from start to finish. Great guide who explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Options for hiking, dining walking, sightseeing. Amazing views from the train and bus, and all transport very comfortable. No bathroom on bus, but plenty of stops so not an issue. Two thumbs up!
