더니든에 왔다면 꼭 해봐야 할 기차여행

더니든에서 출발하는 전통적인 기차에 올라서 왕복 4시간의 기차여행은 멋집니다. 협곡의 다리위를 지날때는 환상적이고, 푸케랑이에서의 풍경또한 잊을 수 없습니다. 더니든을 들른다면 꼭 해보아야 할 여행입니다.

정말 좋아욤

가격이 좀 비싸긴 한데 그래도 차로 갈 수 없는 곳이고 설명듣는 것도 좋았고 경치도 엄청 좋았습니다 ! 다음에도 다른 사람과 오게 된다면 가고 싶어요^^ 기차타는 것두 재미잇고 협곡 보는 것두 좋았어요

괜찮았어요.

4시간이라 꽤 길어서 좀 지루해요. 정가에 표사면 돈아까울거같고, 두번은 못탈거같아요^^. 한번 타본걸로 만족합니다.

Julie and Maria miss the best bit

Loved the trip up to Pukerangi and were looking forward to enjoying the trip back especially the rocky gorge as we hoped to be outside,, while we were waiting on the return trip for food, we were in the buffet car and on return to our seats realised the best bit was already past. We felt like a couple of dolts but laughed. Well worth the money. Thank you. Just a suggestion for the food and coffee service. a supply of Nescafe coffee sticks would have been most welcome in place of a barista coffee (which wasn't on offer) and easy enough. Otherwise 10 out of 10
