TranzAlpine Rail Vacations

Spanning 223 kilometers from Greymouth, the gateway to New Zealand's wild West Coast, to the garden city of Christchurch, the TranzAlpine is widely regarded as the most scenic rail journey in the country. Traveling coast to coast across the South Island, this iconic route weaves through the heart of the 'Great Divide' - the mighty spine of mountains that shapes New Zealand's dramatic landscapes.

The route climbs into the heart of the Southern Alps, reaching Arthur's Pass before winding its way through deep ravines and the dramatic Waimakariri Gorge. Beyond the mountains, the landscape opens out across the rich grazing farmland of the Canterbury Plains before arriving in Christchurch.

Designed to immerse you in the landscape, the TranzAlpine features panoramic windows and an open-air viewing carriage, offering uninterrupted views of some of New Zealand's most awe-inspiring scenery. A buffet car provides refreshments along the way, allowing you to sit back and soak up every moment of this remarkable rail journey.
