Embark on a tour of discovery featuring world-class scenery aboard the renowned TranzAlpine Train, an exhilarating jet boat ride, and afternoon tea in the New Zealand countryside on a sheep farm.

Depart Christchurch and travel by road to Springfield at the foothills of the Southern Alps, where you’ll board the world-famous TranzAlpine Train. Considered one of the top 10 train journeys in the world, the TranzAlpine track takes you through the heart of the Southern Alps, where you’ll have an unobstructed view of the passing alpine scenery out of the train’s panoramic windows.

Disembarking at Arthur’s Pass, you’ll get back on the road to tour the snow-capped Southern Alps in Arthur’s Pass National Park—stopping at the incredible vista of Otira Gorge for a photo op. Have lunch at the Middle South Alpine Hotel and Restaurant and ramble about the village and the many scenic walks located here.

Hop onboard a thrilling jet boat ride that’ll have you speeding through the careening gorges of the Waimakariri River. Then, on your return journey to Christchurch, enjoy late afternoon tea at a sheep farm followed by a sheep shearing and mustering demonstration.
