Coastal Pacific

Experience a journey along the edge of the world. The new carriages on the Coastal Pacific line have huge panorama windows, comfier interiors, a new café menu and bar, and a guided audio commentary. See seals, rolling hills and sky-touching peaks. This memorable journey between Christchurch and Picton stops at Blenheim and the renowned whale watching town of Kaikoura. Along 98 kilometres of ruggedly beautiful coastline you’ll get astonishingly close to the surging Pacific Ocean and steeply rising Kaikoura Ranges.

You’ll also travel through beautiful wine growing regions, across broad, braided rivers and the rich patchwork farming landscape of the Canterbury Plains.
