Arthur’s Pass National Park is in the heart of the Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana. Its high mountains with large scree slopes, steep gorges and wide braided rivers straddle the main divide, and are the ‘back bone’ of the South Island.
Set in the wilds of the Southern Alps/Kā Titiriri o te Moana, Mt White Station is a 40,000-hectare working farm set amidst rugged peaks and remote valleys. For more than a century this place has been loved by the people who live and work here. Join us in journeying through tussock covered high country, enchanting alpine fields, and mountainous peaks - as far as the eye can see. You may even be lucky enough to capture a moment with the cheeky Kea, whilst listening to their captivating but piercing screech as you gaze into the glistening green wings gliding through the crisp alpine air.
