Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy walking shoes. New Zealand&#39;s highland weather can be unpredictable, so we suggest bringing a rain jacket.

Yes, the tour is family-friendly, although some walking is involved. Let us know if you have young children so we can help tailor the experience.

Pick-up is only available from Christchurch. However, you are welcome to meet at the designated starting point if you arrange your own transport to Christchurch.

<h3>Itinerary</h3>

Christchurch&nbsp;- We start by leaving the Garden City/Christchurch and heading north towards our destination, while our knowledgeable driver points out some of the Garden City&rsquo;s highlights.

&nbsp;

Springfield/AlpineJet -&nbsp;As we make our way through the Selwyn District you will be greeted by the Gorgeous little western town of Springfield where we make our turn off towards Alpine Jets. Here you will spend time experiencing the wonders of the Waimakariri, it&rsquo;s no wonder Jet Boating was developed here in Christchurch! &nbsp;For those that&nbsp;have decided to not add this onto their tour, there are walks, views and sheep&nbsp;cuddles to enjoy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Castle Hill (1hour)&nbsp;&ndash; Once back in the van we head towards Castle Hill. These weathered limestone rocks sit proudly on the tussocky hills and were once in the ocean! Over time they eroded away and started forming these amazing unique shapes you&rsquo;ll see today. You might recognize this landscape from movies such as Lord of the Rings and Narnia! That&rsquo;s right.&nbsp; Not only that, but while you walk amongst the rocks you will also see climbers and boulderers! This place is a magnet for those types of hobbies. This is not a&nbsp;guided walk so you will be left to explore this piece of beauty on your&nbsp;own.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Otira Gorge&nbsp;Lookout (15 min)&nbsp; &ndash; Also known as Deaths Corner! The Otira Viaduct Lookout is an amazing spot to see the national park in all its glory. This bridge is the only reason driving Arthurs Pass is possible! It&rsquo;s huge at 440 Meters long and is a great spot for a photo of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. A little bonus too, you might see a wee Cheeky Kea! The sneaky Alpine Parrot of NZ.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Arthurs&nbsp;Pass Village (1hour) &ndash; We depart the lookout and head towards Arthur&#39;s Pass village. On the way you will be able to see the beautiful backdrop of the majestic Southern Alps up close.&nbsp; Once we arrive you will have the opportunity to either walk the Devils Punch Bowl or spend this time walking around the local shop.

<ul>
	<li>Devils Punch Bowl -&nbsp;This walking track is approx. 1 hour with a 
	gradual incline including steps towards a ferocious 131-meter-tall 
	waterfall. Fitness is low to moderate as you walk through the bush and 
	forest.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Arthurs pass village -&nbsp;Grab a bite to eat, a 
	coffee and shop some local goodies! This village is a great way to really 
	get to know the area.&nbsp;</li>
	 
	&nbsp;
</ul>

Please note the driver will keep you updated on the time to catch your train back to the city. 

&nbsp;

TranzAlpine&nbsp;- Our guide will drop you at the Train Station to continue your journey back towards the Canterbury Plains, via the TranzAlpine. The TranzAlpine offers open viewing carriages for you to enjoy the scenery through the panoramic windows.

&nbsp;

Christchurch&nbsp;Train station -&nbsp;As your train arrives to the station you will see our van there waiting for you! You can tell us all about it as we take you back to the accommodation where you started your journey from this Morning. All in a day&#39;s work aye! Here we officially say our goodbyes but send you off with some great photos and even better memories!&nbsp;

As this tour operates in an alpine region the weather can be unpredictable. In the event of bad weather this tour will continue on to Greymouth and Lake Brunner.
