TranzAlpine Railway Holidays

This amazing rail journey from Christchurch to Greymouth is often considered one of the world's most scenic train journeys! Offering spectacular scenery from the Canterbury plains through the dramatic Southern Alps to the coast at Greymouth, it is not hard to see why this is such a popular choice. 

All you have to do is take your seat, sit back and enjoy the view! Stretch your legs at remote & beautiful Arthurs Pass, before reboarding the train for more incredible views. 

Want to experience this magnificient rail journey for yourself? Simply place an enquiry today!  

Experience the raw beauty of remote Arthurs Pass!

Enjoy sights such as Waimakiriri River Gorge, Cass & Lake Sarah through panoramic windows from your seat or venture to the open air viewing platform for great photo opportunities. Marvel at the 16 tunnels and 4 viaducts which make your journey possible. 

Listen to the audio commentary to learn about the history & culture of this fascinating region. Make friends with your fellow passengers and perhaps even have a cream tea or glass of Sauvignon Blanc from the licenced cafe onboard.

You can choose to take the journey in either direction or in both directions in one day or even stop overnight on the way. Whether you want to add this rail journey to enhance a self drive holiday or want to keep travelling by rail, we can create your perfect itinerary.
