Scenic One-Way Tour from Christchurch to Greymouth

Travel from Christchurch to Greymouth on a small group tour through some of the South Island’s most striking alpine landscapes. Sit back in a modern Mercedes Sprinter as your friendly guide shares local stories, scenic highlights and fascinating insights along the way.

This one-way journey takes you from the Canterbury Plains into the Southern Alps, with memorable stops at Castle Hill, Arthur’s Pass Village and Otira Gorge Lookout. It is a comfortable and scenic way to travel between Christchurch and the West Coast while experiencing key highlights along the route.

Castle Hill, Arthur’s Pass and West Coast Views

Explore the dramatic limestone formations of Castle Hill, a surreal landscape known for its weathered rock shapes, tussock hills and film-worthy scenery. You will have time to wander at your own pace, take photos and enjoy one of Canterbury’s most unique natural attractions.

Continue into Arthur’s Pass National Park, where you can visit Arthur’s Pass Village, walk towards Devils Punchbowl or browse the local shop. Before arriving in Greymouth, stop at Otira Gorge Lookout for sweeping mountain views, photos of the Otira Viaduct and the chance to spot a cheeky kea.
