TranzAlpine Train: Epic Southern Alps Views From Open Carriages
★4.6(1130)
Book the 8am departure to catch the light hitting the Waimakariri River gorge. Ignore the cramped interior seats and spend the five-hour haul in the open-air viewing carriage; it’s the only way to get decent photos without window glare. The onboard cafe is aggressively overpriced, so pack your own coffee and snacks before boarding. If a full return trip feels excessive, just book a one-way ticket to Arthur’s Pass and find your own way back.
