South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Christchurch ▷
Tranz Coastal Train
4.0/5
Very enjoyable journey with excellent commentary and very pleasant helpful staff.
Could be a little more efficient with baggage handling at Christchurch and Picton but not a major issue.
Particularly liked the little extra points of interest mentioned.

Cougar Line
4.5/5
Enjoyed a great trip from Picton to Endeavour Resort on Cougar Line.Friendly and helpful staff both at the ticket office,over the phone and on the boat.Very informative commentary on board (even for someone
who has been to the Marlborough Sounds many times). Would highly recommend using Cougar to get to any of the Sounds properties.
