TranzAlpine train travelling from Christchurch to West Coast is one of the most popular tourist destinations not only on the South Island but actually anywhere in Aotearoa New Zealand. In this travel vlog, we would love to invite you to ride this train through Southern Alps together with us. We promise, the views you are about to see are breathtaking! TranzAlpine is one of several routes available from The Great Journeys Of New Zealand and KiwiRail. Tickets are available for online purchase via their website and usually are sold out very quickly, so you have to book in advance. We were lucky to get a couple of passes while in Christchurch during school holidays, but nearly all dates were sold out and the train was full. TranzAlpine train departs from Christchurch in the morning and spends around 5 hours travelling through Southern Alps so you can enjoy beautiful destinations like Arthur's Pass, Lake Moana, Greymouth and others. This is the whole day adventure if you do the return trip, but you are free to hop off on any of the stops or take one way trip if you feel like it. Last stop is Greymouth at the West Coast of New Zealand which is a great place to spend some time in. If you are planning your trip around the South Island, taking this TranzAlpine train is definitely an amazing way to spend your day. The train itself is very comfortable, all carriages have panoramic windows and audio commentary, so you can enjoy the views of New Zealand's mountains and learn the history of the region. There are also viewing carriages where you can enjoy the wind on your skin and get some great photo opportunities. Isn't it why you want to visit New Zealand? You can also enjoy hot food, snacks and drinks from the on-board cafe. This is Travel Vlog 2 from our NZ Road Trip 2020.
