How to Get Around New Zealand on a Budget (Updated for 2025)

"The Northern Explorer (Auckland–Wellington) is a long scenic train (about 11 hours) rather than a commuter service, offering big windows and commentary for photos and views; expect adult one-way fares around 199 NZD and note that scenic trains aren’t the most time-efficient way to travel long distances." - Matthew Kepnes
