New Zealand’s natural beauty is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the lush, rolling hills of the North Island, there is so much to explore. Consider an extraordinary way to experience New Zealand’s splendour – scenic train travel. With three journeys to choose from, the hardest decision you’ll need to make is which journey to do first. New Zealand’s scenic trains offer a unique perspective on the country’s diverse landscapes, providing a front-row seat to nature’s grandeur.
The TranzAlpine is a world-famous train route that takes you from Christchurch to Greymouth, traversing the Southern Alps. Along the way, you’ll admire majestic mountains, rivers and spectacular gorges.
The Coastal Pacific takes you on a journey along the Pacific Coast from Picton to Christchurch, past the vineyards and extensive marine life in Kaikoura.
Northern Explorer is also worth a mention, travelling from Auckland to Wellington along the rich farmland as you see the scenic wonders of Middle-earth, soar over towering viaducts, across the high plains of the volcanic plateau, and beneath three mighty volcanoes.
