Glide along the meeting point of land and sea on the South Island’s east coast, travelling between Picton and Christchurch. This is where two worlds collide – the surging Pacific Ocean and the towering Kaikōura Ranges, creating scenery that’s as picturesque as it is powerful. The journey reveals sparkling coastlines, vineyards, and wildlife so close you could almost reach out to it. Combined with the Interislander Ferry, the Coastal Pacific is the perfect way to connect the North and upper South Islands, linking stations at Picton, Blenheim, Kaikōura, and Christchurch in one unforgettable coastal journey.
