Itinerary

  • Alpine Jet Thrills - Canyon Safaris (Springfield)

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    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’s no wonder Jet Boating was developed here in Christchurch. While at this stop you will thunder up the Waimak river on one of Alpine Jet Thrills jet boats
  • Lake Lyndon

    10 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Perfect stop for a quick picture of a beautiful lake surrounded by the Southern Alps
  • Castle Hill

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    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’ll see today. You might recognize this landscape from movies such as Lord of the Rings and Narnia! That’s right. 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 guided walk so you will be left to explore this piece of beauty on your own.
  • Otira Viaduct Lookout

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    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’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.
  • Arthur's Pass National Park

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    We depart the lookout and head towards Arthur's Pass village. On the way you will be able to see the beautiful backdrop of the majestic Southern Alps up close. Once we arrive you will have the opportunity to either walk the Devils Punch Bowl or spend this time walking around the local shop. Here you will also be able to grab lunch.
  • Devils Punchbowl Walking Track
