CU64 Posted December 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Since it is shorter route now, does it still take 6 hours RT? DH does not want to be on a train for 6 hrs. We are canceling. What other sight seeing options might you recommend. We are not particularly interested in the wildlife. Ty in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted December 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2022 The train trip is now much shorter than six hours. We went on it several years ago (the six-hour version) and were underwhelmed. The scenery is interesting but IMO, not spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train excursion details for a Princess cruise states - Return Train Ride From Port To Port Transport type:Train Travel time:04:00 I would think the train trip will be about 3 hours or so. We went on the train in November 2018 and really enjoyed it. We booked it privately and were bussed from the port to the beautiful railway station. If you want something else to do in Dunedin, I suggest you look at Viator or similar for some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getting older slowly Posted December 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Another thought... you can do the Seasider from dunedin station about an hour... Nice short trip.... with coastal views Cheers Don PS you can't organize it through the ship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted December 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Have done that one. It's a nice little side trip to fill in some time having been to Dunedin five or six times already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Don, the Seasider is only running on these dates - Sunday 29 January 2023 Saturday 11 February 2023 Sunday 5 March 2023 So unless your cruise ship is in Port Chalmers/Dunedin on any of these dates, you miss out. Looking at the cruise ship port schedule, there is only one date when there is a cruise ship in port -29th January Azamara Quest which is port overnight.
