What makes Tranz Alpine Train Tour a unique experience ?
I pick up guests from around the city centre and drive across to the foothills and guests ride The Tranz Alpine train from Sprinfield Station as far as Arthurs Pass National Park.
When guests alight from the train we enjoy around 1 and a half hours hiking and sightseeing in the Arthurs Pass National Park. Enjoy some short walks and viewing some stunning waterfalls, the Alpine Parrot the Kea we see most days and some Alpine plants depending on the season as well as visiting the Arthurs Pass National Park Visitors centre. Then we enjoy a homemade picnic lunch in a scenic location.
