NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand – one of the world’s most beautiful and naturally diverse countries.
From stunning fjords, pristine beaches, magical mountain ranges and even active volcanoes – there is an array of diverse and awesome landscapes.
Train journeys through this scenic country are so under-rated and well worth some of your time.
Lie back and soak in geothermal waters under a starry night sky.
Tandem cycle through a vineyard – some of the best wine in the world is produced here.
Explore the local arts and culture.
For wildlife lovers: much of New Zealand’s wildlife cannot be found anywhere else on earth.
And, of course, there are the welcoming, down-to-earth people.
New Zealand rail travel is an exercise in relaxation, for spectacular scenery you simply can’t see from the road.
