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.

Good but not great

3.00We travelled in May and could not fault the staff and the facilities. Our concern is that it was not supported with tourist orientated commentary other than a screen showing some forward “attractions “ seems a simple fix . The rental car counters are very limited in Greymouth so best to race there first when u get off the train.
Excellent way to travel across the Country

4.00We used the time to relax and enjoy the scenery. Train was full. Could not figure out how to access commentary.
Disappointed

3.00Time keeping is poor resulting in having to cancel or rearrange other bookings. Little commentary . Virtually no historical informations about the villages along the route.
Worth a ride

5.00Check in was easy although we were there before some of the bus groups. The trip was wonderful and staff were friendly and helpful.
No leaves on the line!

4.00It wasn't as epic as I was expecting. That said I would recommend doing the journey to other travellers. I would have liked more spoken information about the landscapes and what we were seeing. Some info on TV screens but they were in the middle and I was looking out! Perhaps autumn is not the best time to travel, maybe winter with snow and ice? The staff were all friendly.
