One of the world’s great train journeys (rated top 10 in the world!) - travelling from coast to coast on New Zealand's South Island taking in the vast Canterbury Plains, spectacular Southern Alps and wild rugged and remote West Coast. A brief stop-over at Arthurs Pass, you may sight a cheeky Kea (native parrot) - views of pristine lakes and rivers and the Tasman sea at Greymouth. Lunch at the local Speights Ale House opposite the Greymouth railway station - New Zealand souvenirs available to purchase inside the station
