NEW ZEALAND - Aotearoa – Land of the Long White Cloud, so named because as you approach New Zealand by sea the first sighting of the country is the dramatic snow-capped Southern Alps, which appear like a ‘long white cloud'. Travelling from one island to the other you will feel you have experienced two different parts of the world, as the diverse sequence of landscape is like no other country in the world.

New Zealand lies on the southern rim of the Pacific Ocean, where a rich tapestry of Maori, Polynesian and European influences has created a wonderful blend of cultures.

Why not take a rail tour around New Zealand, which combines with other excursions and visits to Auckland • Rotorua • Wellington • Nelson • Christchurch • Greymouth • Franz Josef • Queenstown • Milford Sound • Te Anau and Dunedin.

You really do see the real New Zealand when you travel by train.

From train journeys that cross high mountain passes and traverse isolated coastlines, to ones that wind into hidden valley and past tiny rural towns then cross high towering viaducts.

There really is no better way to go!

Viewed from a train, the lovely, gentle but exciting land of New Zealand yields fresh secrets and visual satisfactions. Our spectacular rail adventure takes you through the glorious mountain ranges and rolling hill-country, past lakes and shorelines, enabling you to enjoy the quiet intimacy of these striking landscapes. You will enter a world of seismic beauty, unique natural wonders, dramatic scenery, refreshing open spaces and pervasive tranquillity.

We have combined several rail journeys, each with its own unique experience. The world famous TranzAlpine crossing the Southern Alps, the Kingston Flyer, the lovingly-restored turn-of-the-century steam train, and an exhilarating ride on the Taieri Gorge train will leave you spellbound. Many memorable hours will be spent on board the comfortable trains as this rail odyssey traverses the country at a relaxed pace in harmonious surroundings. This is truly an incredible journey with rewarding scenic views, many of which are unavailable by road.
