Great Kiwi Rail Journeys
Glide between glaciers, fjords and vineyards on New Zealand's iconic rail routes.
Overview
New Zealand's Great Journeys rail network is one of the world's most scenic ways to travel — and a destination in itself.
Cross the Southern Alps aboard the legendary TranzAlpine, hug the rugged Kaikoura coast on the Coastal Pacific between whale-watching and wine country, and ride the Northern Explorer through volcanic plateaus from Auckland to Wellington. Each itinerary pairs panoramic rail with boutique stays, vineyard lunches and time in Queenstown, Christchurch and the Marlborough Sounds.
Highlights
- TranzAlpine — Christchurch to Greymouth across the Southern Alps
- Coastal Pacific — Picton to Christchurch via Kaikoura
- Northern Explorer — Auckland to Wellington through Tongariro
- Interislander ferry through the Marlborough Sounds
- Boutique lodge stays & Marlborough wine tastings
