Discover New Zealand's breathtaking scenery as you experience some of the world's most incredible rail journeys, including those aboard the TranzAlpine and Coastal Pacific trains. Admire the southern fiords of Franz Josef/Waiau, cruise Milford Sound/Piopiotahi, savour a Maori Hangi feast in Rotorua, and more.

Highlights
  • In a plume of smoke, be magically transported back in time on a journey aboard this beautiful vintage steam train. Travel through the spectacular Franklin countryside before stopping at the Pukeoware Depot to explore the workshop, view other historic locomotives and enjoy a morning tea.

  • Embark on an extraordinary RailCruising journey aboard a self-driven, four-seater, hybrid rail car. Enjoy a rail experience like no other, as you take in unobstructed 360-degree views of the scenery that unfolds before you. Travel through the picturesque Mamaku Ranges near Rotorua, listening to an audio tour as you move along at 20km/h.

  • Journey across the South Island from coast to coast on this world-famous rail journey. Climb over the snow-capped Southern Alps through striking scenery to the wild West Coast. 

  • Join the Coastal Pacific train at Christchurch Station, riding it all the way to beautiful Picton in the Marlborough Sounds region. Be inspired by the magnificent landscapes nestled between the mountains and sea as you travel along one of the most picturesque rail journeys in the country.

  • Journey through the beautiful Fiordland National Park on your way to magnificent Milford Sound/Piopiotahi. Once you arrive, set sail on a cruise along the full length of its pristine waters, basking in all the natural wonders you encounter.
