The Landscapes Beyond Dunedin
Watch the landscape change by rail
Our scenic train journeys travel through two very different sides of the landscape around Dunedin.
Head inland and the railway enters the Taieri Gorge. Travel north and it follows the Pacific coastline.
The railway gives each a different perspective.
The Taieri Gorge
Beyond the Taieri Plains, the railway enters steep and remote terrain as it follows the gorge towards Pukerangi. Historic bridges, viaducts and tunnels become part of the landscape as the railway makes its way inland.
The Pacific coast
The Seasider travels north from Dunedin as the railway follows the coastline past bays, coastal settlements and stretches of the Pacific Ocean.
Different every season
Weather, light and the seasons continually change what you see outside the window. No two journeys look quite the same.
