Discover the heart of New Zealand when you travel by train. There’s a
spectacular range of scenery waiting for you – rugged coastlines, winding
rivers, towering mountains, and untouched alpine landscapes. Watch it all
roll by in purpose-built scenic carriages with enormous panoramic windows,
an on-board licensed café, and open-air viewing carriage. The Great Journeys of New Zealand operates three unique train services across the North and South Island - the Northern Explorer, Coastal Pacific and TranzAlpine. Each journey offers a unique way to experience New Zealand.
▪▪ Below the floor, advanced smooth-glide air suspension means a smooth and quiet ride. ▪▪ The carriage windows are made of non-tinted, non-reflective glass – ideal for taking photos through. There is also an outside viewing car where nothing gets between you and a great photo, every time. ▪▪ Keep track of the journey with an automated at-seat journey commentary via headphones, plus route information displayed on the overhead video screens. ▪▪ When it’s time for something to eat or drink, the café car is the place to sample unique and tasty local cuisine, washed down with renowned New Zealand wines or boutique beers.
