Classic old train ride
Loved the train ride, was a little cool but the supplied blankets helped. Got to see so much of the country side and the on train information was very informative.

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

A great trip for everyone
Well done to the Kiwis who created this experience. Fun for kids and big kids as well. Done and dusted in less than 2 hours. Really enjoyed it.

Relaxing Cruisy Ride
We were greeted by Jane the owner as we arrived at the station. She was so friendly & welcoming & talked to us about the railway. The journey was through native bush with great views of Lake Tarawera in parts with a very informative commentary along the way. A lovely experience just sit back & be driven, highly recommend.
