sunscreen Posted August 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We will be visiting Dundedin on Ovation of the Seas and I am looking for a shore excursion that combines the Taieri Gorge train and a visit to Larnach Castle. RCL used to have this combo shore excursion but they have recently released excursions for this port and it is no longer listed. Can anyone recommend where I can find a tour that combines both of these attractions? Tks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbon Posted August 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Tours by locals.. they will do a tour just for you. I have done the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVTAM Posted August 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Have done both tours and separate occasions. The train ride itself is particularly a full day affair and then trying to get out on the peninsula to see the Castle you would have limited time.

sunscreen Posted September 7, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Did you try this? http://shoreexcursionsnz.com/tour/taieri-gorge-railway-larnach-castle/ Thanks for the link. Looks like that tour only runs 8:45 to 5 and ship docks at 9:30 to 6:30. Have sent an inquiry to see if they adjust their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
134traveler Posted September 15, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Thanks for the link. Looks like that tour only runs 8:45 to 5 and ship docks at 9:30 to 6:30. Have sent an inquiry to see if they adjust their time. I'll be there in November on HAL Noordam and booked Gorge + city tour through GoodCompanyTours.com but in checking we leave the pier at 8:45am. This has to do with the train schedule. We have another mountain train trip out of Christchurch to Arthur's Pass. Time is tight on that one so I booked with the ship. Smooth Sailing!
