TranzAlpine Itinerary

Catch the world famous TranzAlpine scenic train from Christchurch to Greymouth and be there in a little over 4 hours, or drive across the stunning Southern Alps to discover the untouched beauty of the West Coast.

From Greymouth head north to the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes to marvel at the unique formations of limestone that began 30 million years ago, and experience the stunning beauty of this rugged coastline.

Head south down the Great Coast Road, one of the Top 10 Coastal Drives in the world according to Lonely Planet and let it take you alongside ancient limestone cliffs, rivers, glowworm caves, mining heritage and untamed native forest to glacier country.

From Fox Glacier head inland past waterfalls and river scenery as you leave the coast through the Haast river valley to the lakeside resort town of Wanaka. Experience Mt Aspiring National Park on easy day walks from Wanaka. Finally head to Queenstown in just 1 hour.

The alpine resort of Queenstown is exciting and fantastically attractive. It’s the place to source almost any kind of adventure, including 4WD adventures, bungy, jet boating, horse trekking, rafting and river surfing. It’s also a destination for luxury experiences – gourmet food and wine, spa treatments and leisurely games of golf.
