Guided safari trips to ‘Winter Wonderland’
This is the time of year to go on those “Winter Wonderland" trips to the snow. Based in Nelson, Skyline Travel offers snow trips to Mount Arthur and guided walks to give people the chance to see breath-taking displays of frozen overhangs and ice crystal formations. The firm supplies all the necessary winter equipment, and all the tourist need bring is his own warm clothing. Skyline Travel’s scenic tours at all times of the year also include various safaris to out-of-the-way places, such as the back country around Mount Arthur and guided walking tours in north-west Nelson. The firm
supplies most of the necessities, including lunches. On a continuous, yearround basis, Skyline offers scenic tours, guided walks, shooting trips and trout and sea fishing. The firm has also discovered that many people now prefer to go on their hunting trips without a gun, and shoot the animals with' a camera instead — an expedition which is also easily organised. Another interesting guided tour is through the Wangapeka Valley, along a tramping route (usually recommended for experienced trampers only) which follows an old prospectors’ route up to the old gold mining sites.
