Arthurs Pass
Exploring Arthurs Pass.
(Some clips from around Arthurs Pass.
A visit to Arthur's Pass is well worth the winding mountain drive, and you'll find plenty of natural attractions to explore on the way, including waterfalls, secluded caves and fascinating rock formations.
Arthur's Pass, previously called Camping Flat then Bealey Flats, and for some time officially Arthurs Pass, is a township in the Southern Alps of the South Island of New Zealand, located in the Selwyn district. It is a popular base for exploring Arthur's Pass National Park.)
