Coastal Pacific Express

The Coastal Pacific train journey travels between the beautiful port of Picton and Christchurch city. This journey is a scenic feast of New Zealand, with the Kaikoura mountain ranges on one side of your train and the rugged Pacific Ocean coastline on the other. Along the way you pass though the village of Kaikoura, where, if you’re touring New Zealand, you can break your journey to take in the whale watching or dare to get closer and swim with the dolphins.

One of the world’s most scenic train journeys, your Coastal Pacific rail travel includes 22 tunnels and crosses 175 bridges, one of them being New Zealand’s only road-rail bridge. As on the TranzAlpine train, the Coastal Pacific includes an open air viewing carriage where all your senses are awakened with the clean, fresh, sea air. The service also includes a fully licensed café car and professional Train Managers who provide informative commentary to ensure a totally unique experience.
