Winter – Snow Express
During the winter months, Snow Express offers private, door-to-door transfers to Mt Hutt, Porters Alpine Resort and Mt Lyford.

Summer – Cara the Kiwi
In the warmer months, Cara the Kiwi offers private, door-to-door transfers for all sorts of occasions and adventures.
From Christchurch Airport transfers, Canterbury music festivals and Christmas fetes to whale watching with Air Kaikōura, seal spotting with Black Cat Cruises in Akaroa, weddings and just about anything else you might need a small coach for – we can help take care of your transport needs!
Whatever the occasion, give us a call. We'd love to help get your people on the road!
What our customers are saying
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We had a great trip from Christchurch to Mt Hutt with Cara. She was super helpful arranging our last-minute booking, and the service was excellent value for money.
Cara was friendly and understanding, especially with our kids, and she kindly waited while we finished dinner without rushing us. She also shared local knowledge with plenty of fun and humor, making the ride enjoyable for everyone.
Highly recommend!” - Kasun Gamage

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Great lift up and down, super nice and a great person to chat to up and down the hill.” - Will Bint
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Highly recommend using the snow express to be taken up to the majestic snow fields of North Canterbury, New Zealand. I thoroughly enjoyed being chauffeured by Cara, who was very sociable, welcoming and fun. Even enjoyed having a ski with her on the mountain! I had upmost faith in her driving skills to get us up and down Mt Lyford (somewhat scary at times) access road, which she negotiated expertly! Thank you for the opportunity to ski the enjoyable family run Mt Lyford ski field, I had a thoroughly wonderful day for my birthday. I even enjoyed a relaxing snooze on the way back lol. Will definitely call upon her great service when I am wanting to go back up to the snow fields again, as it sure is more relaxing and enjoyable than driving myself from Oxford. :)))))).” - Mandy Wheen
