Tour Details

This special tour is offered only by Navi!

The best way to travel South Island's "must go" places! Comfortable coach and train trips from QueensTown to Christchurch via Franz Josef. Take the TranzAlpine train and immerse yourself in the mesmerizing scenery of the South Island.

DAY 1 - Relax in your comfortable coach trip from Queenstown to Franz Josef by Intercity- Bus. Arrive at Franz Josef and be amazed by the natural beauty of the town in which you will stay.

DAY 2 - The TranzAlpine train takes you through some of New Zealand’s most dramatic scenery. It’s the perfect way to travel, whether you’re traveling from Greymouth to Christchurch by train, or returning from the West Coast. On the way, you’ll pass through the patchwork farmlands of the Canterbury Plains, over a series of viaducts to the dizzy heights of Arthur’s Pass, crossing the Southern Alps to reach the wildly beautiful West Coast and seeing the country in all its spectacular variety.

And if you want to do more than simply pass through, if you choose to explore more deeply the many wonders, sights and experiences you’ll find along the way from Christchurch to Greymouth by train, the TranzAlpine is the easy, relaxed way to do it.

You may customise your tour to stay in any city for as long as you want! Please contact us for more information.
