So, which journey will it be?
Take a Northern Adventure
Take the family northbound from Wellington or southbound from Auckland and spot volcanoes, valleys, and endless cows along the way. The kids have never seen farmland like this before.
TranzAlpine Wonderland
From snow-capped peaks to forest valleys, the TranzAlpine shows kids that real life can be more exciting than a screen. Spot snow, rivers, and mountains all in one journey.
Discover Coastal Magic
Ride along the coast where mountains meet the sea. The kids will love spotting seals on the rocks and waves crashing on the shore. It’s a seaside journey that makes every window seat the best seat in the house.
