On your Alpine to Coast Heritage Escape you will step aboard one of the world’s great rail journeys and discover the magic of the West Coast with this unforgettable fully hosted experience combining rail, luxury lakeside accommodation, guided touring, history, scenery, and authentic local experiences.

Your adventure begins in Christchurch as you board the iconic TranzAlpine and travel through the spectacular Southern Alps toward Arthur’s Pass. Sit back and relax as dramatic mountain landscapes, braided rivers, alpine forests, and towering viaducts unfold outside your window.

Upon arrival, your guided Explore West Coast touring experience begins, taking you through some of the region’s most breathtaking scenery as you journey to the peaceful lakeside village of Moana on the shores of beautiful Lake Brunner.

Enjoy two nights accommodation at Hotel Lake Brunner in a lake view studio room, the perfect place to relax and unwind. Take in the tranquil lake views, enjoy peaceful walks, and soak under the stars with a relaxing hot tub experience included during your stay.

This package is packed full of authentic West Coast experiences and rich history. Travel to the historic gold mining town of Reefton for a guided discovery tour featuring fascinating stories from the gold rush era, heritage buildings, local characters, and a boutique gin tasting experience.

Explore the powerful history of the Brunner Mine Site, one of New Zealand’s most important industrial heritage locations, before experiencing the stunning and culturally significant Pounamu Pathway storytelling attraction.

Your journey also includes time in Greymouth, the heart of the West Coast, before boarding the TranzAlpine once again for your spectacular return journey to Christchurch. Be sure to contact the Greymouth isite for availability before purchasing to ensure your dates are available.
