The Orokonui Story
28 September, 2009 Express offer to Orokonui Ecosanctuary - Otago Daily Times
by Rebecca Fox - Otago Daily Times
From tomorrow, passengers travelling on the Taieri Gorge Railway's summer Seasider trains can choose to board the "Orokonui Express" and combine the trip with a guided tour of Orokonui Ecosanctuary.
The Seasider train usually offers a half-day trip between Dunedin and Palmerston on 46 days through the summer.
Those booking for the Orokonui experience will travel by train from Dunedin to Waitati, and then transfer to a 22-seater bus for their trip to the eco-sanctuary.
At the ecosanctuary, they will receive a 90-minute guided tour, followed by a bus trip to Port Chalmers, from where they will catch the train back to Dunedin.
