The TranzAlpine Train and rail journey is an epic train adventure that travels through spectacular natural landscapes between Christchurch and Greymouth. The five-hour journey covers 139 miles of incredible terrain in the South Island’s West Coast region, including the splendid Canterbury Plains, vast tracts of native beech forest, the winding glacier ice-fed Waimakariri River, and the majestic Southern Alps. The TranzAlpine rail journey operates daily.
