Lots of fun, feeding the chooks, the bush walk and the cuppa, all stops along the way. Self drive the carts. very informative and low key. great for families also.

Fantastic trip with Paul, a very pleasant and knowledgable man. Loved the ride and the forest walk.

I had the pleasure of joining the owner of Awakeri Rail Adventures for a trip during a visit to the area during October. The tour was much more interesting as you have complete control of your car unlike others rail tours I have taken with cars that are computer controlled. The tour guide - owner was super friendly and thoughtful as we stopped along the trip for an informative short trek through the bush and also for an animal feeding, as well as refreshments at another venue. The trip was really most enjoyable, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have an entertaining few hours.

Really loved the experience. Great guide.

Well set up and organised - not spectacular scenery but not many railways are! Patrick the guide was very relaxed but professional.

A great day of memories for me personally as I am a retired NZR Loco Engineer who drove trains on the Awakeri line. Paul and his team have done a terrific job, looking after our NZ history. Recommended to everyone to take the journey.

Incredible that the who walk was earth and not man made

Super activity to do with the grandkids or without them! Paul is an awesome tour guide, engineer, health & safety officer, tea maker and entertainer!!

Really good experience and relaxing after adrenaline activities. Staff very friendly. Had a late lunch at the cafe which was very much needed and reasonably priced.

Was so awesome, made my skin feel so soft. Still over 24 hrs later and 3 showers my skin still feels soft. I trod on a bumblebee just before I got in the mud and it stung the bottom of my foot, as soon as I rubbed it in the mud the sting left. Staff were really friendly, nice atmosphere. Just wonderful all round ??

This tour was absolutely amazing and definitely a highlight of my whole trip. Jo was an excellent pilot and I enjoyed the flight very much. The weather looked so so when we started but it was sunny at white island and we had the most amazing views.

Great afternoon flying over Mt Tararewa & White Island, truly beautiful sights and scenery , the pilot was friendly and informative highly recommend everyone takes this scenic flight of opportunity arises well worth the money

What an awesome experience highly recommended staff were very polite and the pilot was informative about the area great day out

Amazing flight and amazing views!

This was our first ever small flight and Jo was an amazing pilot! Very knowledgeable and super friendly and chatty. It was stunning seeing White and Whale island from an aerial view and flying over the Ohope Bay. Highly recommend! You will be able to watch our experience on our YouTube channel soon! Dan n Kirsty

Wow, what an experience! George was fantastic to fly with, he was very friendly, had interesting facts about the area and it was a very smooth flight and landing! We went around White Island several times, from each direction, so everyone got to see it. The whole flight was really beautiful - thanks so much George!

Went on the scenic flight tour of whale and white islands today after not great weather yesterday. Absolutely loved our trip, the views are breathtaking and white island particularly is very special. Jo was our pilot and guide and she was amazing, flew perfectly and was informative and friendly. I would happily recommend this trip to anyone.

Incredible experience. Joanna our pilot was awesome and we had the most beautiful day to fly in. The volcano was so awesome to see. Would highly recommend this trip with Joanna - a must do experience!!

Very good activity ! Plane is brand new, professional safety requirements, pilots are awesome and friendly ! The flight above the volcano is just unbelievable !!! Couldn't expect more. Plus, the plane has its wings above the windows, providing excellent viewings and the fact that it is small (3seats only) means that if you're two, you'll have all the chances to be on a "private" scenic flight. Definitely would recommand this tour as it is one of the best we've made so far !

Amazing experience, it was a fun and comfortable flight out to white island with Joanna and Holly , we loved every second of it!. We would highly recommend white island flights, great service an unforgettable experience, hope to be back in the near future. All the very best, Jade and Zain

Very long and smooth flight. The pilot was friendly and professional. The white island is just amazing. Thanks bookme for this offer!

We bought 2 tickets to fly over White & Whale Island as Mother’s Day gifts! For our beautiful 85yr old Nana and our (my) awesome Mum - they had the BEST time exploring our White & Whale Islands straight off our back door of the EBOP!!! Their smiles upon return were priceless and worth every cent and for that we’re sooo grateful to their lovely pilot (sorry I didn’t catch her name) but you definitely made their experience and 2019 Mother’s Day an unforgettable one :) xx

George was a wonderful pilot and seems to have a lot of flying experience ! He took us over the volcanoes with lots of interesting informations, and always gave me time to translate for my parents. The plane was comfortable and we didn’t have to wait at the beginning. George gave us lots of information about what to do for the next days, and always with a big smile. He is highly recommendable, and the flight lasted 1 hour and 50 minutes, awesome !!!! You need to do this if you are in N.Z. !!

Amazing Experience

Awesome trip down the Kaituna. Felt safe the whole time. Great host Reece. Told us exactly what we needed to do. Will do it again ?

I was admittedly a bit nervous, but as soon as got our gear on and got into the boat to practice, the nerve were gone because our instructor, Rob, was really fun, had good humor, and explained everything very well. Going down the waterfalls was exhilarating — it was quite cold since it’s still winter but amazing nonetheless. The photos are a bit pricey, but we didn’t regret purchasing them as they’re great quality! Thanks for a rad experience, guys! :)

Staff were super friendly & helpful Instructor was cool 😎 & calm…SAFE Super, safe and straight Fire experience

An amazing experience. Our guide Elvis was great, making sure everyone felt safe, and had fun. Would highly recommend doing this!

Teamed up with Peter who was super friendly and made sure we were 100% on what to to do on the water and how to stay safe. Would definitely love to experience again. Thank you everyone at Kaituna Cascades

It's definitely a must try when visiting Rotorua. Kaituna Cascades ran everything very smooth and made sure we were safe and having fun. Thank you see you again
