About

Journey into the Southern Alps on a private day tour from Christchurch to Arthur's Pass National Park, exclusively for your group. Your guide collects you from your hotel, so no one needs to drive the mountain roads. You follow the dramatic alpine highway as farmland gives way to snow-capped peaks and beech forest, with stops at the limestone boulders of Castle Hill, the soaring Otira Viaduct and lookouts few visitors find. At Arthur's Pass you take a gentle, optional walk to a waterfall or alpine viewpoint, at a relaxed pace, with a curated lunch along the way. Iconic mountain scenery without the rush. Includes complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off and a premium private vehicle with your own guide.
