TranzAlpine Train
Journey across the wide expanses of the Canterbury Plains into high country surrounded by rugged mountain ranges. After leaving the Canterbury Plains, the landscape dramatically changes into sub-alpine we head towards the spectacular Southern Alps. View the Waimakariri River and its unique braided riverbed system. Enter Arthur’s Pass National Park where short walks can be made to experience forests, rivers and mountains vistas.
Arthur's Pass National Park Visitor Centre
Follow the old stage coach route and travel down the spectacular Otira Gorge, testament to the road builders of the 1860's and the route taken by the Maori in their quest for greenstone. View Cave Stream where it burrows underground in an area of limestone cliffs and gorges, craggy outcrops and a setting of mountains to the east and west. This area was also used as for the filming of C.J Lewis’ story – “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. The incredible Castle Hill rocks, unique weatherworn, rain smoothed outcrops of limestone are seen from the highway. Lunch at a country hotel, included in cost of tour.

5.00What a great tour today! It covered a number of different things including the scenic train ride, wonderfully narrated small bus ride back, with scenic and short hiking stops. Our guide Grant was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable about everything including many questions from our six person group. He was also pleasant and very well spoken. Lastly, the lunch at Grasmere was top notch for both the food and quaint decor.

5.00We had the privilege of doing the two tours with Daniel as our guide: 1. Arthurs pass and trans alpine train ride and 2. whale watching tour. Daniel drove us to the train station and was very attentive to ensure we were on the correct train and made it to our seats. After the train ride Daniel was waiting for us on the platform with a smile. During the drive back he stopped at two locations for a hike and to experience the floral and fauna, the amazing views up close. We also stopped at Castle hill rock formation which is also amazing. Danial was very knowledgeable and eager to share facts and stories of the areas. He stopped at beautiful locations so we could get pictures. On the Whale watching trip we didn’t see a whale but Daniel made the trip very comfortable and we enjoyed his company. We highly recommend this company for a more personalized tour. We do not want to sit on a coach bus with 30 other people and this is the way to go ! This was our favorite tour in New Zealand and Daniel was the best!
Amazing

5.00Normally, We do not write reviews of our trip excursions, however on Oct 1st we experienced an memorable trip on the Arthur's Pass & Tranzalpine tour. Our guide, Hugo picked us up and delivered us to the train station. What started as a rainy snowy day turned into a beautiful sunny day at Arthur's pass. Hugo is a very knowledgeable & experience guide. He showed us to many breathtaking landscapes and explained the history of the area. We had a lovely lunch at The Alpine Cafe, afterwords we enjoyed a 1/2 hr hike. At the conclusion of the hike we stopped to take pictures on a bridge where Unbeknownst to us the eye piece fell off our camara. We discovered this upon our return to the hotel. 2weeks later Hugo was back on that same bridge and there lay the camara eyepiece. Hugo messaged us and arranged to mail us the eyepiece. 10 days after arriving back in Canada the eyepiece was delivered. Thank you Hugo for a day we will remember and for going above and beyond the guidelines of a tour guide. We would highly recommend this tour.

5.00We had the most delightful 3 days with our guide, Dave Sandford. Our first day was a tour of Christchurch. It happened to snow in the higher elevations so we diverted to a charming stone cafe where we had the world’s best fig scones … Dave’s knowledge of Christchurch was both entertaining and informative. Our second day he drove us to the small French village of Akoroa. There we took a 2 hour boat cruise and got to see penguins, seals and a few saw a couple of tiny dolphins. We then had an exquisite lunch. Our 3rd and final day with Dave was on the famous TranzAlpine train ride. Dave met us at the train station and we proceeded to drive back to Christchurch with some very interesting stops along the way. Dave was not only very kind and personable, he also has a wide breadth of knowledge about all that Christchurch area has to offer. If anyone is lucky enough to come to Christchurch and has Dave as a guide, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Canterbury Trails & Thank you Dave.
Great tour operator

5.00Mary was our driver - knowledgeable, fun, attentive, and a very nice person. She gave excellent advice on tracks and meals as well as providing local stories and station operations. Lakes, mountains, rain, wind...she got us through it all.
Highly recommend!

5.00Our guide, Daniel, was awesome. He kept.us engaged with information of the sights were were to see, made sure we all got onto and off of the train and gave us options throughout the day. I espscially appreciated his working with the kitchen where we had lunch to accommodate my food allergies to ensure that I would have something to eat. Afternoon tea and biscuits was a special treat. Highly recommend! Thanks, Daniel!

4.00It's been a great experience with Dave! This tour that we took can get tricky because of uncertain weather and other odds. But Dave made sure to make it worthwhile despite it. The group took an early lunch which became a very special part of the day since everyone got to chat more than usual. Dave also made sure to keep us all informed and updated with the history and information about the areas we were visiting. Impromptu covered some quirky little spots as well for some memorable photos! Well recommended, cheers!
TranzAlpine and Arthurs Pass tour was wonderful.

5.00Stuart was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who shared a wealth of local information and lore. We had a wonderful day together and would highly recommend Canterbury Trails and Stuart in particular. Thoughtful, patient, and with a dry sense of humor that all combined to make for an unforgettable day.
