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 ??

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

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

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!

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 ?

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

Awesome experience for beginners. Wife and kids loved it.

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.

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

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

This was the highlight of our trip in the north island. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Cannot say enough good things about the experience, our guide or the company itself. They went above and beyond to make our tour memorable. Seeing the glow worms on a kayak, at night in a stunning gorge is definitely a must do if you are on the north island. We had the most wonderful time. Thank you so much to the team at Riverside Adventures. Mike and his SIL were the best!!!!!

What a treat! Novice kayakers well taken care of and given an informative river tour by friendly and knowledgeable guides. It was cloudy so no stars were visible but the glow-worms more than made up for it. Would do it again without question and highly recommend to others. Just remember that you may get wet - it is a river after all!

It was one of a kind experience, the views were amazing, we were the first time kayakers the team made it real easy for us.

We absolutely loved the kayak tour last night! Steve was a brilliant guide - very knowledgable and friendly and made everyone feel very safe throughout the experience. Others on the tour were good fun too and the glow worms themselves were spectacular - a truly memorable experience! Would recommend to anyone. Thanks a lot!

That was the best kayak tour I (We) 've had so far. Not only was the route beautiful, it was a perfect mix of stops, paddling and information. The tour leader was more entertaining than my companion (no offense) and made the experience perfect with his jokes and knowledge. If i could, I would give 6 star! They are also providing everything you could possibly need, so even if you d show up in a sports bra, you ll be fine!

Highly recommend. Professionally guided, conscientious of safety and a wonderful experience in nature. Tandem kayak tour was fun and informed us of the river's history. Our guide was kind, funny and pointed out many unique landmarks or rather "former" landmarks in the river and surrounding areas. He told stories that helped us better understand how very special that area of NZ is. We debarked at a mid-point for sunset, small snacks and more educational sharing. Our evening kayak returning through the silence of the dark canyon was magical. It was sprinkled with glow worms glowing and several small mountain drips/waterfalls that added musical ambience. Our evening was a clear sky, and filled with stars and their reflections. Only caution... we were misguided by both Apple and Google Maps. Neither got us to the correct location. Team was helpful when we called, but there is limited cell reception and our inconvenience set us back in time and miles of gas to drive for reception for instruction. Do keep going 1/4 +mile past the point map says you have arrived. Vendor Sign is tasteful, but not large on opposite side of launch off road.

Did this activity with my son and we had an awesome time kayaking through the canyon. Our guide was helpful and informative. Don’t forget insect repellent

Awesome experience friendly staff a must to do in rotorua

It was a lovely experience for the whole family and especially the kids enjoyed it a lot.

Fantastic journey on the little computer controlled rail car with commentary though spectacular scenery.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Very impressed with the Staff and set up. Rail experience very enjoyable.

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.

The staff are down-to-earth and really friendly and professional. Even on a rainy day it was a lovely trip.

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.

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

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.
