- The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Amy B1 contributionIt was fantastic. I went in November primarily to see the lupins around Lake Takapo and to see the glacier…it did not disappoint.
The tour driver was safe, knowledgeable and there were plenty of stops and snacks along the way. He even points you in the right direction for the best coffee along the way.Review of: Mount Cook, Lake Tekapo & Tasman Glacier(Small Group Day Tour From Christchurch)Written 27 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Priyanka S1 contributionI seriously did not expect it to be so exotic. After visiting wine yards in Canada, Switzerland, Spain and Italy, Waipara wine trail was a heady mix of hospitality and diversity.

- Passport312915938331 contributionExcellent experience seeing dolphins and other seabirds. Able to watch more than a group of dolphins. The dolphins look joyful interacting with humans. Staffs are nice and experienced in introducing the bay and the animals.Review of: Akaroa Dolphins 〜 Harbour Nature CruiseWritten 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KarenWest Swan, Australia1 contributionFantastic tour, great value for money when you compare cost of train on its own. Loved that we drove back so we got to visit other sites and return earlier than the train. Nice small group so felt personalised. Dave was an excellent guide, all round genuine nice guy. Some of the tracks we walked were steep steps/hills so not recommended for anyone with mobility issues, however they were 2 x 20min walks so would suit beginner fitness level. Tour included meals and drinks, so no out of pocket expenses.Review of: Arthur's Pass National Park with TranzAlpine Train Tour from ChristchurchWritten 29 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tony WCambridge, UK452 contributionsWe travelled one-way from Greymouth to Christchurch, with a two-night stopover at Arthurs Pass.
We were lucky with good weather & excellent visibility. The train was on-time, and had lots of free spaces, so was very relaxed & comfortable. Our heavy bags were checked in, and handled by the train staff.
We booked the "standard" fare
Because the train was almost empty, we could get great views from the viewing car, but take care that that if the train is more full, it might be near impossible to use the viewing car. Consider a "VIP" ticket at busy times, as there are more viewing cars per passenger seats.
The commentary through the headphones was clear, interesting & useful, but of course it does not work when away from your seat !
If you break the journey at Arthurs Pass, be aware that the station there has a shelter, but is not manned and has no other faculties. There is a visitor centre a couple of 100 meters away, which is warmer & comfortable if you need to wait.
Overall, the journey was a real highlight of our trip and highly recommended.Review of: TranzAlpine Train Journey from Christchurch to GreymouthWritten 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Diana PColumbia, MD2 contributionsMy husband and I really enjoyed this trip. Nicole thought of every single detail from a comfortable coffee stop to a scenic lunch spot. She knows every curve of the trail and provides a challenging route. I highly recommend this trip.Review of: Lyttelton Shore Excursion - Guided Walking Tour and PicnicWritten 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- diannemembery4 contributionsArthur’s Pass trip was a fabulous day. The tour guide was fabulous and really tried to make the day great despite the rain. The trip home on the train was a highlight with fabulous views of the spectacular scenery. Was glad we did bus to pass and train home so we could enjoy a wine and beer on the train home.
