Taieri Gorge Rail Walk

This is your chance to walk the spectacular Taieri Gorge rail line.

Gather your friends, pack a picnic and join us for a uniquely Otago experience and rasie funds for our group progammes at the same time. Tickets are only $65, Dunedin Railways normally charge $115 per person for the return train trip.

We travel by train from Dunedin to Flat Stream, then walk 2.5 hrs (6-8km) back along the rail line to Deep Stream, taking in the dramatic scenery of the gorge. Enjoy a sausage sizzle in the sunshine at Hindon, and take the train back to Dunedin Station.

Not only is this event unique and the only time you can walk the train line but all proceeds will be donated to Presbyterian Support Otago's group progammes for children, parents and grandparents.
