Driver’s Eye View (New Zealand) - Dunedin Railways - The Seasider - Dunedin to Waitati

Dunedin is one of the “must visit” places on New Zealand’s South Island. There is the highly scenic “Otago Peninsula” with penguins, albatross, New Zealand fur seals and much more to see, as well as two world class train rides starting from Dunedin’s magnificent station on most days.
In this video we enjoy awesome vistas across pristine sandy beaches normally reserved for the driver/engineer as our train makes its way along a narrow ledge cut into cliffs high above the turquoise sea and white sandy beaches far below.
I owe a massive thank you to Dunedin Railways for allowing me to place a camera in the driver’s cab for both the outward and return legs between Dunedin and Waitati.
I’ve just read about the tours offered by Dunedin Railways, they take New Zealand rail based holidays seriously, not just the stunning Taieri Gorge line, but the whole of the South Island.

Don’t tell my wife, but now I’ve seen the holidays on offer, I’m already planning a return trip to South Island.
