Spiral A Feature Of New Zealand Train Journey

The Overlander train is a journey through the heart of New Zealands North Island, travelling between Auckland – New Zealand’s largest city and home of the Sky Tower, to Wellington – New Zealand’s arts and culture capital.

Along the way the train passes the Central North Island ski towns of National Park and Ohakune, popular with young and old alike. There are spectacular views of New Zealand farmland, the volcanic plateau, Mount Ruapehu, the world famous Raurimu Spiral, and stunning river gorges – all from the panoramic train windows or open air viewing decks allowing you the best possible views.

All carriages feature large panoramic windows giving sweeping views of the magnificent North Island. The Observation Carriage includes a mix of seating including lounge style seating. The lounge style seating is arranged at the very rear of this glass backed carriage enabling passengers to enjoy a totally unique Overlander experience.

The Overlander departs Auckland and Wellington daily.
