This scenic small-group tour includes lunch, transport, and a local guide to Castle Hill/Kura Tawhiti.

Visit country towns, mountain passes, alpine lakes, and the amazing boulder fields at Castle Hill/Kura Tawhiti—a day trip from Christchurch City into the mountains and back again.

Castle Hill/Kura Tawhiti is an amazing labyrinth of giant limestone boulders. The area is rich with cultural and recreational significance and has been granted Tōpuni status, “a symbolic cloak of protection.”

Your guide will show you around. If you like, you can try bouldering and test your climbing skills or use your time to explore the endless maze of boulders.

This tour included a round trip through Canterbury Plains to sacred Maora rock formations. It included lots of elevated hiking which you should be prepared for. Be sure to bring your water bottles because none were provided for our group. The views were fabulous the driving speed to and from was scary to say the least! As far as recommending, maybe.
Unique and worth the Visit

Absolutely wonderful way to spend the day in New Zealand Littleton Port. Great to get away from the coastal towns and cities and see the countryside. The large rocks are quite amazing.

Our guide Gemma was knowledgeable about the geography and Māori culture. She was considerate of our interests and our capabilities. Castle Hill is both interesting geologically and culturally. Also fun to see people bouldering. The panoramic views along the way are breathtaking. Viking has dropped Lyttelton shuttle do best to arrange Christ church pick up.
Breathtaking!
