Itinerary

1. Christchurch - We start by leaving the Garden City/Christchurch and
heading north towards our 1st stop, while our knowledgeable driver points out
some of the Garden City’s highlights.

2. Castle Hill (1hr) – 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 thrill seekers.
This is not a guided walk so you will be left to explore this piece of beauty
on your own.

3. Arthurs Pass Village (1hr) – On the way through 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.

4. Otira Gorge Lookout (10mins) – 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. We then embark on the next adventure towards the
gorgeous town of Hokitika.

5. Greymouth - Located in the heart of New Zealand South Island,
Greymouth is the largest town in the West Coast Region, with a population of
around 14,000 people. This charming town is not only a beautiful spot, but
also a key hub for connecting you to the rest of the Wild West Coast. Your
tour ends here at the Greymouth iSite Visitor Information Centre.

Please note additional stops are taken into consideration for toilet
breaks.
