TWIZEL private Transfers

Gateway to the Great Outdoors

Basecamp for Adventure

If you’re travelling south from Christchurch to Oamaru and want a relaxed, scenic transfer with a private chauffeur, we’ve got just the journey for you.

Our car, your journey. As you head south along State Highway 1, you’ll pass through picturesque farmland, rolling plains, and charming small towns like Rakaia, where you can stop to see the famous salmon statue. Keep an eye out for sweeping views of the Southern Alps as you continue to head south and, depending on the season, colourful fields of lupins or golden canola crops.

The final stretch toward Timaru brings you closer to the coastline, with the reward of Caroline Bay, historic architecture, and a welcoming seaside town vibe waiting at the end.

Key Information

Depart Christchurch in the morning and head towards New Zealand's most famous Southern Alpine mountain.

Experience this Christchurch to Twizel private transfer (or vice versa) your way. With a vehicle exclusive to your group, see what you want, stop where you want, and travel at your own pace in total comfort and privacy.

Making this journey by road introduces you to the amazing South Island of New Zealand with our small townships, farming communities and our famous turquoise Blue mountain lakes and glaciers.

We recommend the following highlights along the journey:

✔ Local Cheese Factory visit in Geraldine

✔ Visit the famous Fairlie Bakehouse in Fairlie

✔ Stop at the world famous Church of the Good Shepard in Lake Tekapo

✔ Taste fresh-water salmon sashimi from Alpine Salmon

If you’re planning to explore the Twizel and Mount Cook region in more depth or require a return private transfer, ChauffeurNZ can accommodate this.

Public transport in this area is limited and often inflexible, making a private tour the most convenient and comfortable way to discover the surrounding highlights.
