Rail Holidays
There are several spectacular rail journeys in New Zealand that combine comfort and convenience with stellar natural beauty. All day journeys, it is possible to take in several of New Zealand’s most picturesque destinations travelling purely by train, or include in a fly drive holiday for a relaxing day soaking up the jaw-dropping vistas from the comfort of your seat.

The most popular journey is the TranzAlpine which travels from Christchurch to Greymouth or vice versa via the remarkable Arthur’s Pass National Park. Crossing rich farmlands, soaring viaducts and mighty gorges, this is known to be one of the world’s most picturesque rail journeys.

With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to put together all the pieces for an exceptional rail holiday. Our expert travel consultants are mines of information, gathered from personal travel experience and are the best people to ask to create your perfect trip.
