Five Breathtaking Rail Journeys Bay of Islands Overnight CruiseTHE 20 DAY RAIL, CRUISE AND COACH HOLIDAY HAS CONTINUED TO BE ONE OF OUR MOST EXCITING tour packages on offer featuring the five rail experiences and overnight cruise listed on this page. Enjoy each of the rail journeys which offer something different, and includes a range of diesel and steam locomotives.

GLENBROOK VINTAGE RAILWAY Experience the thrill of travelling by steam train on this 15 kilometre scenic journey. Meander through beautiful rural countryside on a vintage train hauled by one of the lovingly restored steam locomotives. Settle into the immaculate wood carriages and get to know the staff in vintage uniform who will clip your ticket as you listen to the panting steam engine. Enjoy time to visit the restoration workshops enroute before returning to the Glenbrook Station for a delicious morning tea.

THE COASTAL PACIFIC This truly spectacular journey commences at the coastal port of Picton. Travel through the picturesque Marlborough Wine Region then continue along the East Coast via a thin wedge of land pinned between the Pacific Ocean on one side and the rugged beauty of the coastal mountains on the other. You may see amazing wildlife from your carriage including dolphins, seals and penguins before arriving at the seaside village of Kaikoura.

THE TRANZALPINE World renowned as the Great New Zealand Rail Adventure. Depart Christchurch and travel through the patchwork farmlands of the Canterbury Plains. Travel over massive viaducts, river valleys and spectacular gorges as you ascend to Arthur’s Pass located in the Southern Alps. Pass through the Otira Tunnel, skirt lakes and follow rivers as you travel to the West Coast.

PLAINS VINTAGE RAILWAY & HISTORICAL MUSEUM The ‘K’88 or Washington was built in 1877 by Rogers Locomotive Works in New Jersey. After being placed in the Oreti River as flood protection the ‘K’ was recovered in the 1970s and moved to the Plains Museum. This was the first American built engine to enter service in New Zealand and against all odds a plan to restore the ’K’ to its former beauty commenced.

Fully Comprehensive Travel Insurance is included, however an age loading is applicable for passengers 51 years and over. Certain pre-existing conditions may also incur a premium. Travellers are not obliged to take out this cover and if you wish to insure elsewhere, Kings Tours and Travel will deduct the premium from your holiday cost. A copy of the New Zealand Eye Witness Guide is included on all tours, one per household.

22. Force Majeure Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions we regret that we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by reason of circumstances amounting to ‘force majeure’. In these booking conditions, ‘force majeure’ means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.

23. Travel Compensation Fund Grand Pacific Tours is a participant of the Travel Compensation Fund. The Travel Compensation Fund is Australia’s primary means of providing compensation to eligible travellers who suffer loss as a result of the financial collapse of a participating travel agency business.

In mid 2013 the TCF will be replaced by the Travel Industry Transition Plan (TITP) with a view to full implementation in 2015.

Grand Pacific Tours run a Trust Account holding client’s monies until tour payments are settled. All tours are prepaid to New Zealand hotels and attractions.
