Rail cruise

We had a wonderful time and Shelley the guide was great. I think it may be a good idea to add a tip top freezer or something for when you get to the mamaku cabin and maybe have cash sales or something there. Would make the summer trips even better

Fun experience!

Well organised and great to spend time in the hills around Rotorua. Perhaps more could be made of the commentary (clearer locations and reminders on the way back as we missed photos of interest on way up). Shame time spent at top is limited, looking forward when more is made of this stop.

Unique experience

Fun experience despite the rain. Lovely, relaxed, welcome staff - thank you ☺️. Only suggestion is to invest more into the quality of speakers, so that we can hear the commentary better (car 9, anyway)

Definitely worth doing

I really appreciated the thought behind this experience. I love that they are restoring something that was neglected with good old Kiwi ingenuity :) Perhaps a revamp of the onboard commentary with more frequent information about the railway and perhaps the surrounding area might make the trip a bit more exciting.

Amazing and amusing

A lovely drive through the bush. Saw Betty the chicken. Just a nice easy ride through untouched bush. Would definitely recommend it.
