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.

Mary was our guide and we were very impressed Loads of knowledge as from a farming background and so was able to explain so much Train trip wasn’t that inspiring but we’d been in NZ for past month so we’re familiar with more spectacular views Enjoyed walk up to waterfalls and an excellent lunch at Grasmere and chef kindly provided delicous dessert to celebrate a birthday - lovely group 8 in total Comfortable drive up Otira Gorge and Castle Hill rocks

While in Christchurch, we experienced the Private Arthur's Pass and TranzAlpine Train tour with Manuela of Canterbury Trails. From the very start, Manuela took great care of us, ensuring we brought the proper attire for weather at the Pass and providing umbrellas when needed. She ensured a quick and easy boarding of the train and then met us promptly in Arthurs Pass for our follow on tour. Manuela was a fantastic guide, taking us to a number of different waterfalls, a lunch at a quaint restaurant in Arthur's Pass, and experiencing the Castle Hill Rocks. Manuela made our trip very enjoyable as she provided details about the places we went and additional info on the area. It was truly a great trip and Manuela was a major reason for our enjoyment!

Ole our driver was a fabulous host for the day and I can highly recommend this company. Starting with a safety briefing with clear protocols as we were going into an Alpine area, the tour felt thoroughly professional but also friendly and informal. As someone who is not super fit with an arthritic knee, Ole read the situation well and managed to guide us to appropriate walks without limiting our experience of the amazing views. Great lunch at Grassmere sheep station too. A very enjoyable day - would highly recommend this tour.
A must do trip!

An amazing trip and Grant was an amazing guide - he even arranged perfect weather for us! The train ride was highly enjoyable with great views and an interesting commentary. Grant met us at Arthur’s Pass, as arranged, and his knowledge really enhanced the rest of our trip - the highlight being the climb to the Devil’s Cauldron. We highly recommend this trip and, if you’re lucky, you’ll get Grant as your guide!
Hugo = great guide!

Our guide Hugo was fantastic. A really knowledgeable and charasmatic man who made the tour a great day. We were taken to a gorgeous ranch for lunch and Hugo did a great job planning a walk for my husband and I, as well as planning separate activities for the other couple with us.

Excellent trip with our entertaining and knowledgeable guide Ollie from Canterbury Trails. Took in the Transalpine to Arthur's Pass, a short steep walk to an impressive waterfall, wonderful lunch at Grasmere station and another walk to Castle Hill rocks. We were blessed with blue skies and incredible photo opportunities. The walks were at a sensible pace with no pressure. The setting for the lunch was superb. Ollie even produced a cup of tea and biscuits after the afternoon walk. A very highly recommended trip.

What 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.
