Awesome day trip - highly recommended
We had great weather and really enjoyed the commentary which was educational. The scenery was outstanding. The staff were tentative and took time to engage and answer questions. The seating was very comfortable and everyone had a table.to relax at and enjoy something to eat. We are disappointed we are leaving Dunedin before the Star Glazing Train Trip as we would certainly have booked that. We would highly recommend this train trip - seeing a part of NZ you wouldn't get to see otherwise. Thank you for keeping these experiences alive.

Excellent!
My husband Philip and I enjoyed the train ride immensely. It was pleasant and relaxed. The commentary was clear and interesting. The staff were all amazing. I would especially like to acknowledge the train manager Craig who took several pictures of us when we were trying to take a selfie in front of the train before embarking in Dunedin.
