Coastal Pacific - crossing New Zealand by train [Part 3]

[@blessing001able]

The Coastal train is the best of the three trains! I've done the Tranz scenic when there was loads of snow. Was stunning!

[@PlanetPatrick]

I just got a bit unlucky with the weather but I still enjoyed it!

Four Seasons in a day 😂 Its been a very Stormy Spring here loads of snow in the South Island ...

[@PlanetPatrick]

We had it all that day coming through!

Marvelous video Patrick, like you I did Picton to Kaikoura 20 years ago, but it didn't have all the Bells & Whistles like today, but it sure was a lot better then. Loved Kaikoura, it is my kinda town x

[@PlanetPatrick]

Many thanks. I went to Kaikoura before the big earthquake and loved it - like you say it had fewer bells and whistles

We travelled on the Coastal Pacific and TranzAlpine about 10 years ago as a way to enjoy the scenery while having a break from driving. We broke our Coastal Pacific ride in two, spending a couple of days in Kaikoura before boarding the train again to carry on to Christchurch.

Was the price the same including the stop off?

[@markframpton4500]

It’s more expensive to do two separate legs than one straight through by about 30%.

Looks just like Ireland!

[@PlanetPatrick]

Parts of it are SO like Ireland
