Cần Quan Tâm

One of the world’s great train journeys, traveling coast to coast through forests and farmland and through the spectacular Southern Alps. The TranzAlpine operates a daily return service between Christchurch and Greymouth. From the comfort of world-class carriages, you will see the fields of the Canterbury Plains and farmland, followed by the spectacular gorges and river valleys of the Waimakariri River. The train then climbs into the majestic Southern Alps to Arthur’s Pass National Park, 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. While on board enjoy the journey in award-winning world-class carriages with specially designed seats. Awaken your senses in the open air viewing decks or sit back and enjoy the GPS triggered audio commentary available through headphones at every seat. All trains have a licensed café carriage providing snacks and light meals.

Viator managed to send us cattle class instead of the luxury carriage we were expecting. We survived, but it was disappointing.

Great day. Trip was cut short due to weather. We had the choice to cancel or go to Arthur's Pass and back to Chch. We went and it was well worth it. Rain came in at Arthur's Pass but we saw so much up until then and the cleared on the return trip. Staff were great.

A beautiful alternative to driving or flying to travel to the West Coast from Christchurch. Scenery is just lovely and train was comfortable and great to be able to get a coffee and something to eat on board once the cafe was open. Would be stunning in the middle of winter when the snow is all through the passes.
Good does what you would expect.

I am an experienced traveler and this is among the most beautiful trips I've ever taken. The scenery is just gorgeous and goes on for miles and miles, every one as pretty as the last. The train is comfortable with nice staff and some basic food items available in the cafe car. I am not sure for a trip this short that I'd find the upgrade to better food and wine in the "premier" car worth the money, but to each his own. I noted that some people got off at Arthur's Pass, some of those intending to do the return trip back to Christchurch from there. Some question the cost of this but I thought it was worth every penny.
Even though we're heading...

Even though we're heading into spring (September) there was still a lot of snow on the mountains so the views are amazing. I didn't think I'd take so many photos of mountains and landscape lol. You also have the opportunity to meet people from anywhere in the world or even other kiwis and that can make the trip a lot of fun. There is an outdoor observation car for you to take spectacular photos but be prepared for whatever season you are travelling in. It wasn't too cold for me but it was for other people. There's also a food car which caters for gluten free and vegans but you are allowed to take your own food and drinks on board which is brilliant. The coffee was great. I'd recommend this trip.
