A rare chance to travel onboard carriages that used to grace these very tracks day in day out, behind both steam & diesel traction. Whether your skirting the coast between Paekakariki and Pukerua Bay, navigating Wellington’s busy rail hub, or navigating the harbour and powering up the Hutt Valley – this deal has it all!

This Valley ‘n’ Coast package sold out last year! So, remember to book in advance to avoid missing out on this rare opportunity!
