Description:

Explore the charming scenery east of Dunedin as you travel by train through the majestic Taieri Gorge. The ever-changing scenery and dramatic landscapes provide an idyllic backdrop for a memorable journey through some of New Zealand's finest landscapes.

Dunedin's charming railway station building is the perfect place to begin a stunning rail trip. Ride out through the city and into the rural countryside, branching off at the Wingatui junction to begin the climb into the deep and narrow Taieri Gorge.

Pass over viaducts, over bridges, and through tunnels that are engineering masterpieces, particularly when placed in their historical context by your informed train manager. As the train trundles along this pioneering section of railway track, it will slow down at good vantage points, giving you plenty of opportunities to capture photos of awe-inspiring backdrops that were shaped over many millennia.
