Uncover the natural wonder of New Zealand’s wilderness through spectacular scenery you simply cannot see from the road.

Indulge in authentic activities and wonders only experienced by rail and stay in a range of cabins from comfort to ultra-luxury contentment with our hand-picked selection of the best rail journeys across New Zealand:

The Northern Explorer: a long distance scenic adventure traversing the North Island between Auckland and Wellington. Its jewel is the Tongariro National Park with three spectacular mountains where extreme and surprises of snow blanketed fields, ancient lava flow and dense beech forests exist side by side.

Coastal Pacific: a journey between Picton and Christchurch with Kaikoura Ranges rising steeply while the Pacific Ocean swells on the opposite side where seals and penguins make show. Traverse braided rivers and lush farming landscapes of idyllic New Zealand bush

TranzAlpine: one of the world’s greatest train journeys crossing the mountainous spine of the spectacular South Island between Christchurch and Greymouth on the rugged West Coast.
