Rail cruise
We had a wonderful time and Shelley the guide was great. I think it may be a good idea to add a tip top freezer or something for when you get to the mamaku cabin and maybe have cash sales or something there. Would make the summer trips even better
From Rotorua Rail Cruising - Ngongotaha Ultimate Journey
Thank for compliments and we will pass them to shelly! Really happy you enjoyed the experience! The freezers are on the way! Thanks Rail Cruising

Rail review
Friendly staff and great experience. The quality of audio on board could be improved. It was very distorted and difficult to understand, especially above the rail noise. Other than that, it was great.
From Rotorua Rail Cruising - Ngongotaha Ultimate Journey
Thanks so much for your great feedback. We are currently working on our sound systems to improve the audio. We are happy that you have enjoyed our experience thanks so much for being part of our railcruising experience 😀

Greatest experience in Rotovegas
Just had an exhilarating experience at the Mamaku Rail Cruising! Gliding through the scenic Rotorua countryside on a self-driven rail cart was absolutely surreal. The crisp air, lush bush, and sense of adventure made it unforgettable. The mix of peaceful moments and thrilling rides down the tracks is something everyone should experience. It was the perfect way to immerse myself in nature and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and thrilling adventure!
From Rotorua Rail Cruising - Ngongotaha Ultimate Journey
Thank you so much for your great review 😀, we are working hard to create an amazing experience!
