Beyond the Taieri Gorge lies Central Otago, a region of open landscapes, historic communities, cycling trails and distinctive seasonal scenery.

Although our regular Taieri Gorge service finishes at Pukerangi, your journey doesn't have to. One-way rail travel can be combined with cycling or onward road transport to continue deeper into the region.
