The best way to get from Christchurch to Franz Josef
The start of this full day experience was a spectacular trans alpine train trip from Christchurch to Greymouth. The spectacular scenery was never ending and for everyone visiting New Zealand’s South Island it is a must. It starts early so it was great that the on board cafe had good coffee and breakfast stuff! ( Also a nice glass of wine just before arrival at Greymouth. Lunch at the pub was very good and then motoring down to Franz Josef with our lovely guide gave us a great variety of sights and experiences. Highly recommended

Brilliant day, great scenery, fab guide
Excellent day across South Island with our great guide Joel. Whole trip very well organised, starting with collection from our Christchurch hotel and transport to the station.. Our luggage remained on the minibus - which met us off the train in Greymouth which was so much better than having to take them on the train.
The scenery was great although weather was a bit mixed. Once we passed the main divide it became sunny and warmer. Lunch was very good right by the station and then Joel drove us to Hokitika town and then gorge for a lovely walk. Finally dropping us at our hotel in Franz Josef.
Joel was super friendly and knowledgeable - keeping us well informed and entertained. Thank you Joel and Cheeky Kiwi Travel for a brilliant day trip/tour.

Amazing views an excellent journey
An excellent train journey with incredible views of the south island, food and drink available, café restaurant and multiple outdoor viewing platforms, bring your coat for these as it was cold out there. Seat was comfortable seat and all set up for excellent views of the stunning scenery rolling out before you.

Early departure from...
Early departure from Christchurch to take New Zealand Transalpine train to Greymouth. The views were great but unfortunately our train manager got injured so we had to wait 2 hours for new train manager to resume. Fortunately our driver guide waited for us at Greymouth and we abbreviated tour into Franz Josef Glacier which is breathtaking.

Great train journey and one way trip down the coast
The TranzAlpine was a lovely and scenic rail journey. Joel was an engaging guide and the trip was well-organized. Great scenery and convenient for a one way trip down the coast.

Recommended if you don’t want to drive.
The chauffeur was friendly and reliable.
If you’re taking the train exchange the phone numbers with the chauffeur, make’s it easy when you get off the train.

Excellent experience and beautiful scenery
The experience was very pleasant. Rosie picked us up in time and left us in time to catch the train. The train ride was spectacular and then the car ride was good, making an excellent stop for walking in Hokitika.
