Journey into the Southern Alps on a small-group day tour from Christchurch to Arthur's Pass National Park, capped at eight guests. Your guide collects you from your hotel, so you never need 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 cafe lunch along the way. Iconic mountain scenery without the rush. Includes complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off and an expert guide. Maximum eight guests.
