New Zealand Rail Holidays


Rail Holidays
There are several spectacular rail journeys in New Zealand that combine comfort and convenience with stellar natural beauty. All day journeys, it is possible to take in several of New Zealand’s most picturesque destinations travelling purely by train, or include in a fly drive holiday for a relaxing day soaking up the jaw-dropping vistas from the comfort of your seat.

The most popular journey is the TranzAlpine which travels from Christchurch to Greymouth or vice versa via the remarkable Arthur’s Pass National Park. Crossing rich farmlands, soaring viaducts and mighty gorges, this is known to be one of the world’s most picturesque rail journeys.

With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to put together all the pieces for an exceptional rail holiday.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT NEW ZEALAND?

When considering the best time to go to New Zealand, the first thing to remember of course is that, as a southern hemisphere country, the seasons are reversed to ours. So when it's winter here it's summer in New Zealand and vice-versa. This makes the months between November and May an optimal time to visit.

The next thing to remember is that, like us, New Zealand has a maritime climate, so its not unusual to experience four seasons in one day!

For more information, take a look at our guide to the best time to visit New Zealand.
