• Waimakariri - 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! For those that have decided to not add this onto their tour, there are walks, views, and sheep cuddles to enjoy
• Castle Hill - 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.
• Lake Pearson - Perfect stop for a quick picture of a beautiful lake surrounded by the Southern Alps
• Otira Viaduct Lookout - 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 - 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 Devil’s Punch Bowl or spend this time walking around the local shop. Here you will also be able to grab lunch.
• Devils Punchbowl Walking Track - This walking track is approx. 1 hour with a
  gradual incline including steps towards a ferocious 131-meter-tall
  waterfall. Fitness is low to moderate as you walk through the bush and
  forest.
• Cave Stream Scenic Reserve - On our journey back together we will make a quick stop at Cave Stream. This stunning location is great to stretch the legs and get a couple of quick pics. Please note we are unable to enter the cave.
• Porters Pass - Look back down the pass we drove up at the start of the day. Views here are enhanced over the winter months when there is a bit of snow around
