The Lewis Pass, the northernmost of the three alpine road passes across the Southern Alps, offers a truly unique and almost otherworldly experience. Dense forests often reach right down to the roadside, and isolated cabins dot the landscape, giving a sense of seclusion and tranquility. Along the way, the stunning Maruia Falls provides a spectacular stop for photography and quiet reflection amidst the alpine scenery.
This tour is designed to be leisurely, allowing plenty of time for multiple stops to explore the forests, rivers, and hidden corners of the pass. After a day of taking in the natural beauty, the journey concludes with a relaxing soak at the Hanmer Springs Thermal Hot Pools, providing the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the serenity of this remarkable alpine region.
