DAY 2 & DAY 3- Franz Josef prides itself on the range of natural attractions in its proximity. Take a guided ice walk or a heli-hike to the Franz Josef Glacier to experience the breathtaking phenomenon known as glaciers. Or you could choose to visit Te Wāhipounamu, a World Heritage Site park.

DAY 4 - The TranzAlpine train takes you through some of New Zealand’s most dramatic scenery. It’s the perfect way to travel, whether you’re traveling from Greymouth to Christchurch by train, or returning from the West Coast. On the way, you’ll pass through the patchwork farmlands of the Canterbury Plains, over a series of viaducts to the dizzy heights of Arthur’s Pass, crossing the Southern Alps to reach the wildly beautiful West Coast and seeing the country in all its spectacular variety.
And if you want to do more than simply pass through, if you choose to explore more deeply the many wonders, sights and experiences you’ll find along the way from Christchurch to Greymouth by train, the TranzAlpine is the easy, relaxed way to do it.
