Just a hop, skip, and a jump from Christchurch, the Kura Tawhiti Access Track in the Castle Hill NZ basin will blow your mind with its majestic limestone rock formations and breathtaking views, especially when dusted with a touch of snowcapped mountains at the end of winter!

It's perfect for both beginner hikers and tourists wanting to experience the thrill of hiking in New Zealand's breathtaking landscapes. Located on the scenic Great Alpine Highway (State Highway 73) through Arthur's Pass, this is just one of the many stops to explore and one of the top things to do South Island NZ.

At just a short 3040 minutes for the loop, it's a quick stopoff or you can take a picnic and enjoy half a day here exploring the limestone boulders and watching climbers.
