I recommend going Scenic Plus. Just superb. Nz has awesome views from this train. Just don't know how much beauty you can see in one day. Our hostess was marvellous.
Thank you for your review and your feedback. Scenic Plus is definitely a step up and provides for a superior experience. I agree - it is a stunning journey.
This is a musty experience. The beauty was endless. Great tour guide and a beautiful stop at the devil's Punchbowl.
Amazing comments - we love this trip also!
Train trip was fantastic with snow on the alps which was a bonus as apparently it doesn't usually snow in April. Stephanie our driver for the trip back was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to see the sights when we stopped to stretch our legs and short walks. Arthurs Pass and Castle Hill stops with lunch at Grasmere (very yummy) and the view to the snow- capped mountains was spectacular. Toby Farm very interesting and the hosts were lovely. Plenty of opportunity for photos along the way. A long day but worth it. A must do trip.
Along day but a fun day - great review. Received with thanks.
Riding the train to Arthur's Pass was so comfortable, and enabled us to enjoy lovely scenery along the way. We then hiked to the Devil's Punchbowl in the pouring rain, but it was the quintessential New Zealand experience.
I could not agree with you more when you quintessential NZ. We always hope for perfect weather but sometimes the weather has other ideas. And yet when the rain comes down so you enjoy a completely different experience. Green, lush and fresh. Excellent review - thank you.
The 2 1/2 hr train trip was lovely. Saw views that otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The stops on the return were just ok but had a great guide that did explain everything that we saw.
Thank you for your review and comments. Its an ideal scenario as you see different views from both rail and road and to mix up the tour so you see and sense the best of everything!
The tranzalpine ride was worth it and saw some wonderful scenery. Unfortunately due to heavy rain we could not do the devils punchbowl walk. The lunch was good. Castle hill was a photogenic place. The couple who run Toby hill farm were very friendly and warm people and we got good insight regarding sheep farming. Alexander the guide was very nice and accommodated everything despite the weather. Would absolutely recommend this tour.
Great review and comments. Sorry about the Devils Punchbowl - the only thing really outside of our control is the weather! Sounds like you had a brilliant day otherwise.
A big shout out to Paul who was our tour guide up to Arthurs Pass. The pick up was easy and on time. Paul was very knowledgeable and provided great commentary teh whole day. He made the difference between a tour and a very memorable experience. Thanks Paul!
Awesome day, awesome guide and awesome review.
This trip had a bit of everything! We enjoyed every bit of it! Our guide Andrew was knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly. The scenery was breathtaking.
Great review thank you, and thank you for highlighting Andrew. Such a special day!
What a fabulous day out. The train ride was great to Arthurs Pass and had a great walk around the area and then the lunch stop at Grassmere was absolutely stunning. Thoroughly enjoyed the sheep shearing demonstration with Trevor & Heather - what great people. Our driver/guide Pete was sensational. Full of local knowledge and a real joy - he is fantastic. It was a briliant day out you won't regret. Stunning scenery, great food and fabulous people - what more could you aks for.
I could not have put it better myself. Thank you for your comments.
We had a great day travelling on the TransAlpine train from Christchurch to Arthur’s Pass where we were met by Graham and the adventure continued! He provided us with a tour of the area and lots of history/interesting facts and provided stops for pictures. We were treated to a wonderful lunch before heading off to explore the Kira Tawhiti Conservation Area and the amazing boulders. Finally we had the most amazing visit to a working sheep farm where our fabulous hosts gave a demonstration of sheep herding, sheep shearing and provided us with a wonderful tea!
Thank you for your comments and review - so pleased you had an excellent day with Graham.
