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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.😉

A great 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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