Private Charters
The Kingston Flyer is now taking bookings for private charters and functions. Cruise along the open scenic plains of the majestic Kingston to Fairlight track in historical carriages pulled by our restored AB Class Steam Locomotive. Surrounded by snow capped mountains and expansive farmland the Kingston Flyer offers a round trip excursion, with spectacular scenery from the Kingston Train Station on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, to the historical Fairlight Train Station adjacent to the mighty Mataura River. The train ride itself is 30 minutes each way with passengers disembarking at Fairlight Station for a choice of private catering options before reembarking the steam train back to Kingston. Located only 30 minutes from Queenstown, the Kingston Flyer offers a slice of early New Zealand rail travel and Wakatipu history that is highly enjoyable and memorable.
