5.00Early departure from Christchurch to take New Zealand Transalpine train to Greymouth. The views were great but unfortunately our train manager got injured so we had to wait 2 hours for new train manager to resume. Fortunately our driver guide waited for us at Greymouth and we abbreviated tour into Franz Josef Glacier which is breathtaking.
Great train journey and one way trip down the coast

5.00The journey from Christchurch to Franz Josef with TranzAlpine train was an outstanding experience, made even better by Shar’s excellent guidance throughout the day. Shar was a confident and safe driver, which made the long scenic journey comfortable and relaxing. He was friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enjoyment of the trip. The route itself was breathtaking, with plenty of opportunities to appreciate the changing landscapes along the way. Importantly, the day was well paced, allowing us enough time to reach Franz Josef and fully enjoy seeing the glacier at the end of the day. Overall, it was a memorable and well organised trip.
