Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Dopo il prelievo mattutino in pullman con aria condizionata dal tuo hotel di Christchurch, trasferimento alla stazione ferroviaria di Christchurch dove salirai sul treno TranzAlpine. Questo è stato valutato come uno dei 10 migliori viaggi in treno al mondo.
Ti invitiamo a unirti a noi in un tour alla scoperta di scenari spettacolari. Da Christchurch sali a bordo del famoso treno TranzAlpine fino all'Arthurs Pass
Prima di vedere e guidare lungo il viadotto di Otira lungo 440 metri un importante progetto ingegneristico della Nuova Zelanda - il viadotto è una delle regioni più soggette a terremoti in Nuova Zelanda ed è stato progettato per resistere a forze sismiche superiori del 40 per cento rispetto al massimo usuale per tali strutture. Alla fine dei mesi estivi i fiori brillanti della rata rossa (metrosideros umbellata) aggiungono alla bellezza della gola di Otira. Questo albero non si trova sul versante orientale delle Alpi meridionali ma fiorisce solo nelle umide valli occidentali, incontrerete anche il Kea della NZ valutato come uno degli uccelli più intelligenti al mondo hanno nature molto curiose e si trovano nella maggior parte degli ambienti alpini dell'Isola del Sud. Il periodo di tempo di un'ora è il tempo impiegato in totale per viaggiare da, verso e sul Viadotto da Arthurs Pass con fermate
Il tuo Autista / Guida ti consiglierà quindi alcune passeggiate popolari nel Parco Nazionale con panorami incredibili, tempo permettendo. Il tempo trascorso qui è approssimativamente l'intera quantità di tempo trascorso nel villaggio Arthurs Pass durante il giorno, forse più a lungo se l'opzione pranzo è presa nel villaggio.
Rilassarsi in un caffè di montagna (a proprie spese). Fai attenzione al kea sfacciato, il pappagallo alpino intelligente della Nuova Zelanda spesso avvistato nella zona.
Kura Tawhiti / Castle Hill, uno straordinario paesaggio di antichi massi calcarei.

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.
