Unlimited train travel in the South Island on the TranzScenic network for 7 days
The TranzScenic 7 Day South Island Pass is an easy to use, great value pass allowing you to travel around New
Zealand South Island on Tranz Scenic Rail services at your own pace.
The 7 Day South Island Pass includes unlimited travel on the TranzCoastal (Picton-Christchurch) and the award
winning TranzAlpine (Christchurch-Greymouth via Arthur's pass). It is designed for independent travellers who want
to get the best out of their New Zealand holiday and experience rail travel. Users can choose their own route, stop
when they like and travel as many times as they wish within the validity of the pass which provides genuine savings
off the standard adult fare, so the more you travel the better the value. During the seven day period travel can be
undertaken freely on the trains of your choice but booking in advance where possible at peak periods is
recommended. Prices valid until 30 September 2009.
Just some benefits of the Scenic Rail Pass:
Choose your own route - backtracking is OK
One pass/document for all travel - no extra paperwork to carry around and groups/families can be booked onto
one pass but must always travel together
Flexibility - no need to book your train travel in advance but, as all the trains are extremely popular, we
recommend you reserve seats where possible
Toll-free telephone reservations
Three different ticket options to choose from - with or without one Interislander journey
All TransScenic trains include an open air viewing area and the carriages are carpeted, centrally heated and air-conditioned so you can sit back and enjoy the view from your panoramic window. The trains are licensed and include a buffet carriage where you can purchase a wide selection of light meals and snacks.
The pass is non-exchangeable and non-refundable once booked and the only requirement is that the start date be notified on booking.
