New Zealand
One of the best and most relaxing ways to enjoy the countryside is by rail and New Zealand plays host to some of the most magnificent and contrasting scenery on earth. TranzScenic offer a choice of three unique rail journeys each showcasing very different aspects of New Zealand. The beauty of travelling by train is that you are able to get to regions that are sometimes inaccessible by road as well as offering a great alternative to driving between destinations.
TranzAlpine
The TranzAlpine is arguably one of the top train journeys in the world. Passengers are able to make a return trip in one day between Christchurch and Greymouth with enough time for lunch between the two trips. The views consist of gorges, rivers, valleys, rainforests and the spectacular Southern Alps.
TranzCoastal
The TranzCoastal runs from Picton to Christchurch with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Kaikoura Mountain range on the other. The views are enhanced and senses awakened from open air viewing carriages as you travel through 22 tunnels and cross 175 bridges. Dolphins, whales and penguins are also seen on a regular basis.
Overlander
The Overlander travels through the heart of the North Island from Auckland to Wellington through varied landscapes. Sights including the famous Raurimu Spiral, Mt Ruapehu and stunning river gorges can be enjoyed from the panoramic windows or open air viewing decks allowing you the best possible views. There is commentary along the way and food and beverages may be purchased from the dining car.
