This place is awesome for some adventure, we had only booked for the 4wd safari but the lady st the front counter was very helpful and we ended up doing the go karts as well, we did a 10min go kart ride 1st there were 3 others in this group which made it allot more fun, the karts were great the instructors were great to Franky was learning the ropes but did a great job!! The go karts were awesome great speed and handled well only complaint is I want more!!! Then we went and did the 4wd safari We had Franky again learning and Cori both these guys are great Cori’s knowledge was fantastic and if you listen and do as the instructors say it’s a lot better experience as they know what the cars can and can’t do, great bunch of guys awesome and thanks allot we’ll be back!!!! They also have a clay bird shooting range and a 4wd monster safari were you are the passenger

Bloody brilliant . Perfect Peter and Terrible Tanya had 2 goes a couple of days ago. Was soooo good but Perfect Peter felt the need to improve his time .so we went back again yesterday. The guys gave him advice which he took and improved his lap time by 6 seconds. ( with metal wrists) 1.17 seconds ??

Awesome experience for beginners. Wife and kids loved it.

Our 4 grandsons were buzzing after this amazing experience. Thanks Dom for giving them the amazing ride.

Make sure it is on your to do list. My daughter enjoyed every climb, hang, and splash although she did close her eyes on the luge haha. The instructor was great too. We were greeted warmly and they knew who we were when we walked through. Off roading can be for males and females so def give it a go. I was mesmerized with the monster 4 x 4 that I will do next trip around. The course isn’t too extreme but there are other options it was just right for my daughter and myself to have some fun.

Absolutely awesome experience. It is a must do! I will be back for sure.

We had the pleasure of being the only ones in this group and it was ALOT of fun for us! Big thanks to Curtis for his good humour top bloke. Well worth the short drive out of town for.

I had an amazing time on this activity, it was great fun and the trail just kept getting better and better. I would highly recommend this activity ?

Best experience on karts I've had. The staff were awesome, informative and let you go hard. You knew they would take care of things if they got out of hand, so that safety precaution was good to know they're there if needed. The quality of the karts were great but then I can only compare them to indoor carts, where there is NO comparison in the end. I recommend to EVERYONE to get out there and have a blat!

Great fun on the bush safari, couldn't wipe the smiles off the boys faces!

It was a great experience. Friendly staff. Very entertaining driver.

This was an amazing experience. There were 4 of us together and we rode in one cart. The views and the experience was fantastic. We all would highly recommend this trip.

Take a scenic drive out to Mamuki railway station- 20 mins from Rotorua. Jump on your rail car and ride through the hills taking in the views. Great fun for everyone! Would absolutely do it again.

What a wonderful and unique experience we had! Beautiful view and great job! I believe this is a “must do “ at Rotorua!

This was a really lovely family friendly adventure in unique style. Pack a picnic and dress warm! Great team running this I hope it continues and expands.

Breathtaking views and scenery, friendly staff, awesome rail carts!!!

Absolutely amazing great fun for all ages. Entertaining and interesting . Highly recommend

Enjoyable ride with informative commentary that takes you back in time revealing the history of both the railway and the area.The track weaves its way through scenic bush and farmland,and even under a main road. Friendly, engaged staff make the experience complete.

A great experience.

This was a fun way for the family (grandparents, son and daughter-in-law and 2 granddaughters) from Australia, to see the countryside and learn some railroad history. The cars are bigger than they looked and we all comfortably fitted into one (although we had the option to have two cars). The staff are really friendly and helpful and the complimentary hot drinks were appreciated.

Lovely wee trip, enjoyed the ride. Would be nice if it was abit longer

A really interesting way of travelling through the countryside around Lake Roturua in the peace of your own Rail cruiser with only the sound of the birds and track. Such a brilliant way of making use of an old railway track taking us into the hidden depths of the woodland, farms to view the different indigenous species of plants and trees. Perfect for all ages in all weathers protected from direct sun but open at the sides but should it rain you can just drop the sides. The organisers are very welcoming inviting you to have tea,coffee or chocolate before you depart whilst sitting watching a video showing the development of the project.

Awesome experience almost didn't do it but so glad we did

This was a fun activity, the kids enjoyed something different for our trip. The only reason i I didn't give this five stars is I feel its a bit pricey for what you get compared to other activities we have done in the area. I would still recommend doing this as it doesnt require a big walk or much effort so is very relaxing.

All credit to these owners who have revived this Railway to make it a lovely trip through Bush and views of the lake. The carts are comfortable and make this a journey with a difference. Recommended

We thoroughly enjoyed the Rotorua Rail Cruising. It was well run by enthusiastic staff who took very good care of everyone. The scenery was stunning and the commentary informative. A unique experience.

Fun experience. Awesome way to see the scenery. Staff were wonderful and were very friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our ride. The commentary was great, and the scenery was lovely. It was a warm day so the coolness of the breeze on the cart made it perfect. My two sons aged 9 and 12, would have like to see it go a bit faster however understandably the speed of 20 km/h is there for safety. We were also quite impressed to know this is the ONLY self drive rail in the world. And we were impressed with the magnetic sensors which slows it down, stops it, and monitors its speed automatically

Absolutely fantastic 😊! Thanks to David for the Hot drinks before the rail cruise. Great job with the Safety talk and History video before the trip! Commentary throughout the journey was brilliant! Shelly .. Many thanks for taking good care of getting us on board safely.. Awesome team ! Friendly ..Ya gotta do this excursion. !!.. you will rave about it 😃 PS.. we went in July ...bundle up warm....it can get quite cold trekking through the forest , although warm throw blankets were provided.😉

This was fantastic our 7yo, 8yo & 22mth old had a fantastic time, the history of the old railway was really fascinating, so if your into that you'll love it. Was alot noisier than expected would recommend taking earmuffs if you have sensitive hearing.

A lovely experience with my wife, hearing all the history and how far it has come to this point.

Very good experience. Welcome was very friendly, trip was relaxing. Cold, so you should wrap up well, although they supply blankets ( and free tea and coffee before you start.) Interesting audio commentary along the way. Would do again.
