The Taieri Gorge Railway offers a memorable introduction to Central Otago, travelling through rugged landscapes that are difficult to appreciate from the road. During the journey from Dunedin to Pukerangi, you can admire steep-sided gorges, dramatic rock formations, river scenery and historic railway viaducts that showcase the engineering achievements of an earlier era. Keep your camera ready for the changing views from the train, and remember that the railway journey is a key part of this tour rather than simply a transfer to the cycling route.
