Excellent trip ...walk through the bush so enjoyable with Paul’s knowledge and humour making the excursion a real experience. Great for all ages ...driving the rail carts a real novelty ....highly recommend doing.

Very nice harbour for kayaking at Ohiwa. Kenny gave good guidance on where to go. Really enjoyed our first kayaking.

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

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.
