We enjoyed this very much. Beautiful scenery and wonderful commentary throughout the journey. The experience to walk along the track was really awesome. Our guide from Pukerangi was wonderful and friendly. Very accomodating and full of knowledge to share with everyone.
Enjoyable trip by Tairei Gorge train ride and then by coach by Cheeky Kiwi Travel. Driver Jonathan was cheerful and friendly keeping us entertained by his jokes and was very informative about the history of Otago various past. Highly recommend
