TORONTO — Railbookers has launched six New Zealand itineraries.
The trips, which range from eight to 19 days, feature scenic train and ferry journeys along with included hotels, sightseeing and more.
“With New Zealand, we’re thrilled to answer the growing customer demand for independent rail vacations to one of the world’s top bucket-list destinations,” said Railbookers Group President and CEO, Frank Marini. “Our collection of New Zealand trips allow 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.”
Onboard The Northern Explorer
Railbookers’ New Zealand offerings all include three trains: The Northern Explorer, which travels between Auckland and Wellington on the North Island; the Coastal Pacific, traveling between Picton and Christchurch; and the Tranzalpine from Christchurch to Greymouth. In addition, the new itineraries feature the Interislander ferry, which crosses the Cook Strait between the two islands.
“The diversity of experiences New Zealand offers is a true marvel for travellers worldwide,” said Sarah Handley, Tourism New Zealand’s General Manager – The Americas & Europe. “An itinerary here can take you to national parks, beautiful beaches, thrilling diving spots, stunning fjords, bubbling geothermal areas, exciting adventures, scenic wine regions, and iconic Hollywood film locations.”
Among the sightseeing activities that are featured in Railbookers’ New Zealand trips, travellers will have the chance to experience the Waitomo Caves and Fiordland National Park. They can also take in immersive cultural experiences like a three-course traditional Maori feast.
“Exploring New Zealand by rail reveals hidden scenic gems that often aren’t visible from the road,” added Handley. “It’s an easy and immersive way to see the best of New Zealand’s landscapes. Sit back, relax and soak in the breathtaking views.”
