Excellent! Highly recommend this train . Check your bags, easy process. We took it one way from Christchurch to Greymouth in Scenic Plus class. Included food was amazing and plentiful. Each of the 4 courses throughout the morning offered a selection of included paired wines. We didn’t imbibe as we were picking up a car in Greymouth and driving to Franz Josef same day.

Planned in advance and a trip we were looking forward to - and it didn't disappoint. Checking in, baggage transfer to the train and boarding were all very easy and communication, instructions, etc. were clear and concise. Journey was full of wonderful sights, scenery, views and lots of opportunities for photographs, videos, etc. including the open air viewing carriages for all to use. Cafe on board was good and reasonably priced and the staff throughout the journey were efficient and helpful. Well worth doing!!

The train was pretty full but there were still a few seats left so you could move about a bit if you wanted to. Also there was an open car if you wanted a blast of fresh air. The scenery is pretty spectacular along this route. There is a spoken guide but you need to have headphones etc but there is also a written one that you can follow but as we went the other way had to keep scrolling back. Only drawback is that you can take your own food but not your own wine.

Over hyped, overrated and VERY overpriced. The train itself was comfortable but the food was overpriced. You can't see much from the so called viewing platform.

No commentary during journey other than on app. Reading that stopped me looking at scenery. Internet didn't work until some way into the journey.

Despite emails confirming with you that you that this experience was booked for sure. And updated emails letting us know about our booking…. You cancelled out the experience that we looked forward to most. Leaving us stranded. And now you want a review. !!!!! 😤

I think this product is well sold, but does not reach beauty heights. Too bad, good for the railway company with very friendly staff.

It’s a must to take the train to see the beautiful and rugged mountains, hills, valleys, rivers and waterfalls in the comfort of luxurious train carriages with other fellow travellers from all over the world.

The train was delayed on departing by 20 minutes but no announcements were made. Anyhow, the train was clean and staff very friendly. The views were super in some places though the plains were much of a muchness. FWIW: we did make up some time but stopped two stops before Christchurch to let a passenger alight and the we sat for almost 15 minutes before moving off again. Once moving an announcement was made that a “problem stick” had caused the delay. Didn’t feel too professional from that point of view.
