Getting To & From Christchurch City
The
TranzAlpine Train Journey: From Christchurch city this journey crosses
the huge and fertile patchwork farmlands of the Canterbury Plains. The TranzAlpine
winds its way over massive viaducts and through spectacular gorges and river
valleys before tracking slowly across the country's greatest mountain range,
the Southern Alps. It stops in the heart of the Southern Alps and Arthurs
Pass village where passengers can get off the train. The TranzAlpine then
follows rivers, skirts lakes and descends through lush beech forest to the
Tasman Sea and the town of Greymouth.
The TranzCoastal Train Journey: This journey
departs Christchurch daily and travels to the port of Picton, where ferry
passengers depart for the North Island. This journey is a scenic feast,
with the rugged Pacific Ocean coastline on one side of the train and steep
mountains on the other. Along the way, the train passes through the seaside
town of Kaikoura.
