Jump aboard the Northern Explorer, running from Auckland to Wellington, traversing the majestic Tongariro National Park, home to an astonishing tapestry of snow-blanketed ancient lava flows and lush beech forests.
The magic doesn't stop there; catch a ride on The Coastal Pacific. Departing Picton, on the northern tip of the South Island, glide gracefully to the charming city of Christchurch via the rugged Pacific coastline.
