THE JOURNEY
Enjoy a majestic heritage steam train experience from the heart of the Marlborough winelands to the coastal town of Kaikoura, known for its abundant marine wildlife, famed resident sperm whale population and dramatic mountain vistas. Follow the ‘Guardians of the Seas’ – the mountains of the Southern Alps – that rise majestically from the deep trenches of the Southern Ocean along the journey.
The Steam Train has the advantage of balconies at both ends of each carriage which enables passengers a convenient viewing position along the scenic journey.
At the time of booking, you can opt to purchase a picnic lunch box to be enjoyed on the train journey between Blenheim-Kaikoura (south) or you can pre-purchase a picnic lunch box to be enjoyed at Kekerengu on the return journey (north) .
