Can I bring food and drinks on the train, or is there onboard dining available?


In Train Journeys in New Zealand

Yes, you can bring your own food and drinks onboard the train. However, there is also onboard dining available for passengers. The Northern Explorer, Coastal Pacific and TranzAlpine trains offer a Scenic Cafe where you can enjoy locally sourced food and beverages. Additionally, there is the Scenic Plus Dining Experience (TranzAlpine only) that provides a specially crafted menu of regional cuisine and a unique dining atmosphere. So, whether you choose to bring your own refreshments or enjoy the onboard dining options, you have flexibility in how you satisfy your culinary preferences during the journey.
