We booked this tour through the Carnival Splendor & really wanted to do it as we had tried to book on a previous cruise & it was fully booked before. We were a little disappointed as we felt the tour booked with the cruise ship is shorter than the normal tours & we didn't see as much. It was very expensive ( almost $600 for both of us) & the seniors discount isn't given when booked with a cruise ship. The commentary was very good.

Nice railway journey up the Tairri Gorge on the Dunedin Railway. Great scenery, nice comfortable carriage and great commentary on what we saw. A box ‘lunch ‘ was provided plus water. Coffee etc available on the train for an additional charge. Maybe even better if they’d had more local South Island NZ produce in the lunch ( Ocho Chocolates, cheese etc - just a thought. ). Train left Dunedin station just after 10:00 and returned 13:30 with a stop of about 30 Loved this local NZ Chocolate factory in Dunedin. We did the tour which was great - learned a lot about producing good chocolate and the Pacific Island beans they use. Also great tasting where we were able to compare their own chocolates against commercially produced versions. Very small scale production but very focused on doing the ‘right things’.

The rain took us out of the city of Dunedin into the countryside and thru the gorges to Hindon where we stopped for approximately an hour to enjoy the view and partake in a box lunch which was provided. The scenery was spectacular. The train travels through the Central Otago landscape of hills and gorges, pastureland and forests. Well worth the experience.

The Taieri Gorge Limited train ride in Port Chalmers passes through numerous tunnels and valleys and ends at the town of Hindon. The train was built in 1879 for merchants to transport fruit, oil, and other things. This transport stopped in 1990, and the train today is mainly tourists. Only one home is in the area and those entering the home must be sure they “look both ways” when they cross over the tracks to the home. While our tour was a guided one, the noise from the train rails tended to drown out what the driver was saying.

My wife and I were really looking forward to this excursion, but sadly it came nowhere near our expectations. The train car we were in was fine. We were told it had been refurbished in recent years and was one of only a few with air conditioning. The staff was pleasant and courteous, but that’s about all I can say that’s good about this trip. The train does go into the back country where with we were expecting to see a lush, beautiful landscape like we have always pictured in New Zealand. Instead, we saw a lengthy stretch where the timber companies had clear-cut the hills, we saw brown grassy hills with a handful of sheep on them. And then we stopped for over an hour at an abandoned train depot with absolutely nothing to see or do before turning around and coming back. In all, I would say there were only two or three spots lasting about as many minutes where we actually had anything interesting to look at. The snack box provided for the trip was vegetarian with no other options. The main portion of it was barely edible. The commentator was fine and did share some interesting facts about the area, but on the return trip he largely repeated what he said on the way out. We really felt like we had been taken advantage of and it was a very disappointing way to spend a precious shore day in New Zealand.

This is a great day out, the train has a buffet bar & if you’ve booked from a cruise like we did included a packed lunch & bottle of water.
The onboard narrator is very good, full of great knowledge & certainly on our trip asked everyone to swap sides of the train once we’d reached the halfway point where the train stops & your allowed off to view the scenery & view the few craft tables set out by locals from which you can purchase souvenirs before heading off back down to Dunedin.
A word to the wise just in case the guide doesn’t insist passengers swap sides & that is get yourself on the left side of the train going forward (that’s the side of the train going forward away from the platform). That side gets all the views.
Things to look out for are wild goats, the via duct, the spectacular scenery.
There are toilets onboard a small outside viewing platform at the rear of the train (best used on the way up as it’s at the rear going but at the front going back which means the train obscures the view & finally a picnic area at the halfway point.
You’ll get the full history of how the train came into being as part of servicing the Goldrush from the guide.
All in all a great trip, best booked in advance.

Une grande perte de temps et d’argent. Excursion extrêmement décevante et coûteuse, pas grand chose à voir et en arrivant au bout on vous fait descendre du train au milieu de nul part pendant 45 minutes alors qu’il n’y a rien à faire.
Un attrape touristes de premiere, décevante sur toute la ligne! Nous avons détesté cette excursion.

We took this shore excursion with Holland America and I could not agree more with post that said trip to nowhere. Scenery was not worth the trip.
We were supposed to trade sides coming back and found that people or the right side jumped to the forward facing seats. A real waste of money in our view.

I was so excited about this excursion. We booked it through Princess Cruises. The train is very nice and comfortable, they served a nice box lunch, and the commentary was good. I was disappointed with the scenery and not being able to see much. Most of the views are on the left of the train. I was on the right side. I honestly wanted to love it and feel like it was worth the expense. My personal opinion is that it is not worth what we paid. I would definitely choose a different excursion if I had the chance to be in the area again.

I am trying to decide if the train trip is worth it? Is the scenery mountainous or hilly? The cruise offers an excursion that leaves from the pier, but it is expensive. Viator offers a less expensive tour along with a city tour afterwards, but it seems they are relegated to the older, less comfortable cars. Are the best cars for cruise passengers?

We used Viatour and purchased train tickets at the station. The bus dropped us at the station and gave us a pickup time. The older cars were fine. I don’t recall just passengers on the ship’s excursion in newer ones.
The trip followed the gorge. Yes, the terrain was hilly and mountainous.

Was trying to book this as a Princess cruise excursion in December 2019, but is not available. The Railway website does not list a train ride on that date. Is it running in December 2019?

How do I pre book on the Taieri Train in New Zealand. We will arrive by cruise ship to Port Chalmers, however the cruise excursion is too expensive and we would like to do it independently to the ships excursion. I am also on a mobility scooter. Thanks in advance for any help. Mary

Is it possible to purchase tickets direct from the Railway and join the train for a return trip at the wharf at Port Chalmers where cruise ships dock- What would be the approximate price?
DunedinRailways

Hi - the trains that depart from the wharf are part of the Cruise Ship shore excursion orgainised by the ship. If you would like to join this tour you will need to book through your shore excursion desk. Note the shore excursion from the ship is different from our usual service in that you get your morning tea, lunch and other extras all included.
There is usually a public train but you will need to make your own way into the city. You can book these on line on our website.
Either way - we look forward to having you aboard!

I am spending 1 day in Dunedin off a cruise. Can I purchase a ticket for the gorge railway trip at the station or do I need to pre-book?
The shore tours on the cruise are double the price of trip advisor so I’m not sure what to do !! Thanks

Hi there - can you tell us the day you are travelling - some days we have a Taieri Gorge trip you could take and most days we also have a Seasider service.
Thanks
