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.

Awesome experience for beginners. Wife and kids loved it.

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

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 ??

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

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 ?

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Railcruising adventure through the Dansey conservation area. Despite a little light rain the journey was fascinating and made all the more special by the onboard commentary and steamy jungle atmosphere. The experience could be improved by offering merchandise and a video history of the line prior to the cessation of service by NZ Railways

Loved it, the peace and quiet, the nature, adults and kids absolutely loved the experience AND the great customer service. An experience full of happy memories for us to remember. Thank you ?

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.

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.

My two girls & I really enjoyed this unique mini train adventure, the railcar was comfortable & you have unobstructed views from each seat. We particularly liked the birdlife flying about along the track. Roxy our guide was professional, informative & excellent to deal with. Will bring my parents back next time, they'd love it 😊

Once again we had a great experience on the self drive rail cruiser. Great communication and friendly helpful staff. Thanks again Cherie for making this few hours for ourselves and our visitors a memorable experience. You certainly know your stuff and your customer service skills are the best. 💖

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.😉

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.

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

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

Visiting from Wellington & Hamilton, we decided to do the tourist thing and experience the rail cart. Very informative and lots to see. The staff were superb, knowledgeable, customer focused & very friendly. The rail cart caters for all ages…so fun for all the family.

An experience for the young and young at heart. We had so much fun and the commentary was informative. Thank you Aidan for your wonderful attitude and sense of humour, you put a smile on all our faces.

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

We went and booked this on a whim after seeing some road signs on the way into Rotorua, and boy were we glad to do it! Nothing quite compares to the fun of your own little train taking you to unknown places. Staff are so friendly and up for a bit of banter, but are also very organized so everything went smoothly. Highly recommended!

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

Great ride, perfect for the whole family. Informative commentary, friendly staff. Thanks for this experience.

Fantastic activity that lets you see some beautiful country scenes. Shelley was a fantastic host and we were made extremally welcome. Loved the history of the log station also.

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

Booked to go Railcruising with my husband and Dad for Fathers Day, arrived and had safety briefing, allocated to our railcruiser for the trip from the Mamaku station out to Tarukenga station, the views were amazing even though the weather was not great, you are in the railcruiser with waterproof drop down sides, so the views are unobstructed whatever the weather. Thoroughly enjoyed by all and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to all, suitable for all age groups.
