Favourites:
Part of the National Jazz Festival Tauranga.
The darling of last year’s Festival is back by popular demand. Treat yourself to a ride on the nostalgic Jazz Steamtrain and marvel at the authentically restored carriages, some of them 100 years old.
To add a musical sparkle to this unique experience three bands will stroll between carriages while you watch the lush Bay of Plenty countryside drift past from your reserved seats. Available on board is a rich selection of fine wines, foods and refreshments to tickle your senses.
Choose between one of the two special excursions on offer.
The Coastal Express is a two hour round trip that travels from the Mount via Matapihi, across the historic harbour bridge, past The Strand towards Te Puna offering some picturesque, normally hidden vistas of our country side.
The Coastal Discovery takes you west on a four hour journey through kiwifruit country past superb coastal vistas. From the Mount the train steams past Te Puke along some magnificent stretches of coastline where the tracks hug the leeward side of the sand dunes. The steam engine turns around at Hauone while you are serenaded by the three resident bands on the train.
This will be a truly memorable experience for people of all ages.
