The Coastal Pacific train takes you along rugged coastlines, across remote beaches, between mountains and sea, on a timeless journey of breathtaking beauty between Picton & Christchurch.
Climb aboard one of the most picturesque journeys on New Zealand’s railways. You’ll marvel at the view as you meander along the Pacific coast between Picton and Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand.
Explore the stunning Kaikōura Coastline, famous for its marine life and whale watching. Voyage through the vineyards of Blenheim, dripping with New Zealand’s premium crop. And journey amidst the idyllic Canterbury countryside to the Garden City of Christchurch.
Travelling between Christchurch and Picton, the Coastal Pacific travels breathtakingly close to the sea. The roaring Pacific Ocean meets the rising Kaikōura mountains here and the scenery is hard to forget. But the Coastal Pacific isn’t just a scenic activity. Combined with the Interislander Ferry, it is the perfect way to connect Wellington, Blenheim, Kaikoura and Christchurch.
