Arthur's Pass Essentials

Arthur's Pass spans the Southern Alps, connecting Canterbury to the West Coast. This collection highlights the region's dramatic topography, from the 131-meter Devils Punchbowl Falls to the 440-meter Otira Viaduct engineering feat. Visitors can explore the 1879 Jacks Hut, observe native Kea parrots at Deaths Corner, and access the TranzAlpine railway station. The Department of Conservation visitor center provides essential safety information for exploring the surrounding national park, established in 1929 as New Zealand's third oldest.
