about the tranz alpine
The tranzalpine scenic train journey travels between Christchurch and Greymouth,
from one coast of New Zealand to the other. From your carriage you’ll see the fields
of the Canterbury Plains and farmland, followed by the spectacular gorges and river
valleys of the Waimakariri River. Your train then climbs into the Southern Alps
before descending through lush beech rain forest to the West Coast town of Greymouth
– a great base for visits to Punakaiki and the always popular glaciers.
The tranz alpine journey is an ideal weekend getaway or honeymoon vacation highlight.
All carriages include both one way seating and tabled group seating allowing you
to experience the amazing views while enjoying the company of other passengers on-board.
An open air viewing carriage allows you to get even closer to the stunning scenery
and provides many opportunities to photograph your favourite spots. There’s a lot
to look forward to!
The train journey sets off from Christchurch - New Zealand's largest city on the
South Island. The trip is 223.8 kilometres long and takes just four and a half hours.
There are 16 tunnels, and 5 viaducts, the highest being the Staircase standing at
73 metres.
The tranz alpine train departs Christchurch and Greymouth daily. Whether you are
planning a weekend getaway or a longer trip, tour New Zealand's South Island from
one coast to the other by train and relax while rediscovering the uniqueness of
train travel.
