Amazing scenery with an interesting commentary to enjoy spectacular views in a harsh environment

4.00Amazing views, great customer service, good commentary but terrible (the vegetarian option was actually disgusting). Take food on with you don’t pay for a meal!!
Riding the train was a great way to end our trip!

5.00Experiencing one of the most scenic train rides in the world is already memorable but what made our ride with Tranzalpine extra special was having the staff: Ani, Bella, Carolyn, and Emma. They were so attentive, thoughtful, and caring throughout the entire 5-hour train ride. Their pacing and attention to detail with bringing out the food and drinks in a safe and calm manner were truly impressive! We marveled at the beautiful sights while enjoying a delicious multi-course meal made with locally grown products. Ani and her team took the time to converse with every guest and when they learned that we were visiting Aotearoa New Zealand to celebrate our mom and sister’s birthday, they took the time during their busy shift to personally sign a commemorative booklet for them! Many thanks to Ani and her team as well as the train conductors for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

4.00Very relaxing way to travel from Greymouth to Christchurch in comfort with great scenery along the way. You can purchase drinks & snacks on board as well. We left our hire car in Greymouth which works well as the hire companies are at the train station.
Scenic Plus is a crapshoot

4.00Be careful about paying the higher price for Scenic Plus. I did multiple rides both Scenic and Scenic Plus and it’s debatable how much you really get. Scenic Plus is nice because you don’t have passengers constantly walking up and down the aisles bumping you to go to the Cafe car the whole ride. Plenty of food, but how good it is totally depends on the menu that day. All the wine offered is the best part - a glass with every course. You are SUPPOSED to have a reserved Scenic Plus open air viewing carriage. Separated by a rope from regular Scenic passengers. The honor system. Ha! Half of the viewing carriage is regular Scenic passengers and they go right under the rope to use the less crowded Scenic Plus side and block Scenic Plus passenger views at beauty spots and also go into Scenic Plus carriage to use their bathroom. Staff does not supervise or enforce Scenic Plus privileges. There are no signs about this arrangement, just an audio announcement at beginning of ride. We hated the dinner of just a piece of chicken and mushrooms. Nothing else. However dinner on the coastal pacific train was steak, glazed carrots and potatoes which was much better. So it’s a crapshoot. Be ready to be potentially disappointed.

Overrated and underwhelming!

1.00Extremely expensive and totally overrated!!! Very underwhelming as only about middle one hour of the total five-hour trip was the least bit scenic. The other four hours were a complete bore and uninteresting. Train was hot, constantly changing speeds and departure delayed by 2.5 hours.
