Christchurch to Arthur's Pass: Breathtaking TranzAlpine Journey

Amazing trip our guide Jude was very energetic and knowledgeable, loved every minute of it. Train ride has so many scenic views we had an amazing lunch on a new farm which had alpacas which was a plus, and then visited another farm with herding dog name Toby which was so smart. Highly recommend this tour.

There was such great information learned about the plains area of New Zealand. The open car on the train was small and always quite crowded so hard to enjoy that part. Our guide, Terry, was so fun and knowledgeable and eager to make sure we enjoyed all parts of the journey! The lunch in Grasmere was PHENOMENAL and the sheep farm was authentic and precious!

Beautiful scenery and informative commentary on train and from Terry on bus. Weather was horrendous in mountains but this did not spoil what was s very enjoyable trip. Special mention to Terry for his improvisation to deal with weather and his entertaining and informative commentary in way back to Christchurch from Arthur's Pass. Also his kindness in returning my wallet, dropped on the van floor when we returned to the city.

Fantastic experience. Smooth train ride w narration on your own Bluetooth headphones, beautiful views, combined with 2 hikes (lengths of your choosing)in the National Park followed by sheep farm visit, with sheep dog performing happily, and demo of sheep shearing and wool processing. Driver Terry was very informative about culture, ecology, and history of New Zealand. He is also a good driver and very upbeat and friendly.

Scenic views and comfortable seating on train. Great way to get to Arthur’s Pass. Able to purchase food and drink on the train. One of the cars is open air for taking pictures/videos of journey.

Scenic train ride was wonderful. The sheep farm was a wonderful experience The walking trail was great Co travelers were friendly Terry was as usual awesome

A wonderful chance to see the breathtaking sights up to Arthur’s Pass. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic train ride and are still laughing about the audible Oohs and Ahhs of the passengers as we went in and out of the tunnels. Well worth the time and cost even with the on and off rain showers. A huge THANK YOU to our driver Jude who provided great commentary and company on the trip.

Trip on the train was good ,weather clear so I could see lots more. Our guide/driver Terry was lovely and very helpful and just gave you the right amount of information. The trip to the farm was good and the people were very nice and explained things well. there was only seven people on our trip which made it more personal and relaxing.

It was a lovely trip, well organised, beautiful scenery and the guide was great. Highly recommend and will definitely go again
