New Zealand by Train! The Northern Explorer, Wellington & a Wild Seal Encounter
Join us as we discover New Zealand by rail aboard the **Northern Explorer**, travelling from Auckland to Wellington and back again on one of the country's most spectacular scenic train journeys! We board the Northern Explorer to experience the difference between Scenic and Scenic Plus, explore the impressive open-air Scenic Car, enjoy the onboard food and discover the stories and traditions that make this journey so special. But this isn't just about the train! Once in Wellington, we head out to explore the capital on a city tour before embarking on an unforgettable Seal Coast Safari, where we get up close to New Zealand's incredible wild fur seals. Then it's back aboard the Northern Explorer for our return journey to Auckland. We discover why travelling in the opposite direction offers a completely different perspective, including scenery you might miss on the southbound journey and spectacular views of New Zealand's three volcanic peaks. We also share our thoughts on the value for money, why this is such an affordable scenic rail experience, and the handy app that helps you understand the incredible landscapes passing outside your window. **Is the Northern Explorer worth taking?
