It was an incredible tour. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and fun. They tailored the trip to what would be best for the weather and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Stopping for a cuppa at a picturesque spot is a bonus too.

Absolutely fantastic tour! The itinerary was a perfect balance of sight seeing and stops to break up the day. The train was a definite highlight for us, and not to be missed. Shoutout to Joel who was a fantastic tour guide, very engaging and friendly :)
Reviews: Christchurch to Franz Josef Tour with TranzAlpine (1 way)

We took the TranzAlpine as part of our journey to Queenstown - breathtaking views all the way! Unfortunately, we faced a surprising 2-hour delay, which was frustrating. If time allows, consider adding Pancake Rocks near Greymouth/Hokitika to your itinerary (though it's a bit far). Still, the landscapes made it worthwhile for train lovers!
Reviews: Small-Group Kayak Adventure from Franz Josef Glacier

We had an awesome morning out on the lake with Pickles (and Oscar), he was welcoming from the start and was full of knowledge about the lake and surrounding area. We had the lake all to ourselves and thoroughly enjoyed the views as well as the laughs, stories and knowledge Pickles shared with us. We would all highly recommend a kayaking trip with the guys, it’s been one of our favourite activities of the trip! Thanks again Pickles and Oscar, from Lewis, Conn, Molly and Lexi!

Highly recommended. Our driver Nick is nice and has passion for introducing the lakes and mountains. The hiking is easy to handle even for a senior lady. The lunch bag is amazing, the bakery that Nick went pick up before the trip is delicious and fresh. The sightseeing is memorable and the trip is comfy.
