Introducing the Overberg Explorer – Steam Train Journeys from Botrivier to Elgin Railway Market
Step aboard the Overberg Explorer for a nostalgic steam-hauled adventure through the heart of the Overberg! Operating out of Botrivier, this charming excursion runs twice daily, with departures at 09h00 and 13h30, offering guests a delightful rail journey to the vibrant Elgin Railway Market and back.
Enjoy the sights, sounds, and rhythm of yesteryear as our vintage steam locomotive pulls you along the picturesque countryside. Once at Elgin, guests will have approximately 1 to 1.5 hours to explore the market’s live music, food stalls, artisan crafts, and unique atmosphere before returning to Botrivier by train.
While this is a shorter journey with limited onboard amenities, light refreshments and snacks will be available for purchase during the ride, so you can sit back, sip, and savour the moment.
Whether you’re a local looking for a fun day out or a visitor seeking a new way to experience the region, the Overberg Explorer is your ticket to a timeless rail experience.
