We had a wonderful tour...

Dorothy_L, Feb 2026

We had a wonderful tour with a private driver who took us to Arthur’s Pass, Devil’s Punchbowl Waterfall—where he even hiked up to the top with us—Castle Hill Rocks, where he also let us hike up into the formations, and stops at Lake Pearson, Lake Lyndon, and Cave Stream Scenic Reserve.
