Your day begins with a comfortable, luxury transfer from your accommodation to Christchurch Railway Station, where you’ll board the iconic TranzAlpine Train. Settle into your VIP carriage and take in breathtaking views of the Canterbury Plains, Waimakariri River Gorge, Staircase Viaduct, and more – all from the comfort of panoramic carriages designed for world-class sightseeing. Enjoy a delicious lunch and refreshments on-board your train as the landscapes roll by your window. The TranzAlpine also offers the opportunity to step into the open-air premium viewing carriage for 360-degree views.
Once you arrive in the alpine village of Arthur’s Pass, your friendly guide will be waiting to welcome you. Discover the charm of this remote mountain settlement, where endemic and cheeky Kea parrots roam freely, and rugged mountain peaks surround you.
Choose from a variety of short walks that wind through the stunning Arthur’s Pass National Park – a land of towering mountains, native bush, and dramatic valleys.
Next, visit the impressive Otira Viaduct lookout and marvel at this engineering feat set against the dramatic backdrop of the Southern Alps.
On your return journey to Christchurch in your private luxury vehicle, stop at the Castle Hill Scenic Reserve. Explore its otherworldly limestone rock formations and gentle walking trails – a photographer’s paradise and a magical end to your alpine escape.
