Places to visit in South Island New Zealand - Arthurs Pass
Arthurs Pass, South Island New Zealand
One of the many great passes in the South Island of New Zealand. Amazing scenery as you drive along this road. Waterfalls, wildlife, snowy capped mountains, rivers, bouldering, hiking, and plenty of places to pull over and take some photos! Arthurs Pass really is much more than a road from A to B. Make sure you allocate a couple of days to travel through the Pass. You can stay overnight at Lake Pearson on the way. Also feel free to check out some of our other videos on places we have visited around New Zealand and the World!

-- About this video --
Today we’re taking the TranzAlpine Train in New Zealand! It’s considered one of the world’s most scenic train trips. Watch this video to see what it’s like to take a return journey with the KiwiRail TranzAlpine Train between Christchurch and Greymouth. It’s one of the great ways to travel across the South Island.
Admittedly, there is not much in the way of train travel in New Zealand, but with what New Zealand trains they do have, they are pretty amazing. The New Zealand TranzAlpine goes from Christchurch to Greymouth where the train goes through Arthur’s Pass National Park in the Southern Alps. The Arthur’s Pass train station is one of the stops before travelling through the Otira Tunnel, which is 8.5km long.
So what do you think of this South Island train journey? Would you add the Christchurch Greymouth Train / Greymouth Christchurch train to your South Island travel itinerary? Would you use this way to travel the South Island? LUK in the comments.

Photographing Arthur's Pass After Leaving the Hospital
After over 80km of hiking in clear blue skies and very hot days, I ended up in the hospital's emergency room with either heat exhaustion, a gastro bug, or a combination of both! Once I felt a bit better, I headed to Arthur's Pass National Park and tried to take it easy while photographing some of the more popular spots of the park - and even that proved to be difficult for my very exhausted self!

Hiking Avalanche Peak - Arthur's Pass National Park
I went hiking up Avalanche Peak with a group of friends. The weather was perfect and the view from up there just amazing.
I shot this video using a Canon 70D with a 18-135mm lens on a Beholder EC1 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer.
The aerial footage were shot with a Phantom 3 with a PolarPro ND32 filter.
Some shots are a bit shaky as I haven't owned the stabilizer for very long and I still need to practice. And also the ground was very uneven and it was hard to look at both what I was filming and where I was walking :)

NZ South Island Road Trip Part 1- Christchurch to Moana via Arthur's Pass (4K Video)
This video is about our road trip around the north part of New Zealand South Island back in 2016. We started from Christchurch, drove to Greymouth via Arthur's Pass, up to Nelson via west coast, then back to Christchurch via east coast. It was an amazing trip. Some of my previous videos covered places like Castle Hill, Pancake Rocks, Abel Tasman National Park, Blue Pool...It is also my first time using Final Cut Pro to edit the video. I have to say goodbye to iMovie now since FCP is way much better!

Places to visit in New Zealand - Mt Arthur - Nelson Tasman
Mt Arthur Summit Walk
SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS:
FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM:
Mt Arthur is a 4 hour hike(one way) to the summit from the Flora carpark. The carpark is 1.5 hrs drive from Nelson and I would recommend having a 4WD as the track is quite rough, especially in the wetter months.
It is a beautifully diverse walk, starting in the trees, then breaking in to the open plains then in to rocky mountain terrain. In winter the top is covered in snow.
Please bring enough water for your whole trip and check the weather before you go as conditions can change very quickly and it is a very exposed walk. Always tell some one where you are going and when you are to be back, especially if going alone, the New Zealand wilderness can be very unforgiving.
