Global FIT rail tour operator Railbookers adds Aotearoa New Zealand back to its worldwide portfolio of independent holidays with six new customisable itineraries available now featuring three iconic train journeys and the Interislander ferry. Plus, save up to AUD$800 per couple on all NZ trips.
Railbookers’ scenic New Zealand rail offerings include The Northern Explorer, between Auckland and Wellington on the North Island; Coastal Pacific, between Picton and Christchurch; and the TranzAlpine train from Christchurch to Greymouth.
The new itineraries also include the Interislander ferry, crossing the Cook Strait between the islands.
The NZ rail trips, ranging from eight to 19 days, incorporate all four iconic train and ferry journeys plus hotels, sightseeing and more.
Highlight sightseeing activities involve Waitomo Caves and Fiordland National Park or immersive cultural experiences, such as a three-course traditional Maori feast, and tours of cities and towns on all itineraries.
Railbookers Group President & CEO Frank Marini said the NZ trips answer the call of growing customer demand for independent rail holidays in this popular destination.
“Our collection of New Zealand trips allows travellers to enjoy everything that the North and South Islands have to offer without the hassles of driving or figuring out how to make it all work,” he said.
Tourism New Zealand GM – The Americas & Europe Sarah Handley added: “Exploring New Zealand by rail reveals hidden scenic gems that often aren’t visible from the road. It’s an easy and immersive way to see the best of New Zealand’s landscapes.”
