Starting your transfer/tour for a one day transfer from Christchurch or Nelson by private chauffeur.
From Christchurch we travel north west towards the South Alps main divide mountain range taking in the incredible mountain views. The pass was originally used by the Ngāi Tahu Māori of Canterbury to transport Pounamu (greenstone) from the West Coast. The area around Lewis Pass is protected as a national reserve.
Today the Lewis pass is used by trampers, hunters and as the road to the West Coast. On the way you will pass Mauria Springs hot pools and travel past Murchison township on your way to Nelson.
We will see fresh water streams, native Beach Forest and driving through the Lewis Pass at 907 metres at its highest point. Lots of snow clad mountains are visible during the winter months.
