Rotorua RailCruising

“Kia ora! We had such an amazing experience with Rail Cruising! It was enjoyable, informative and such a beautiful way to spend the day together as a family. Our favourite part was seeing all the beautiful native trees and scenery along the tracks while learning about the history of the area. One of the coolest features was the audio guide, which you can listen to as you cruise along and hear interesting facts and stories about what you’re seeing. They even have a colouring station for your tamariki with some hot beverages at the mamaku cabin (halfway stop) It was such a relaxing and unique experience, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. They provide blankets incase you get cold on the ride which i felt was a very thoughtful gesture. My whole family really enjoyed it, and we would 100% do it again. Definitely something I’d recommend for families looking for a fun experience that’s both educational and memorable. ❤️🌿🚂 Ngā mihi mō ngā mea katoa.”

“A fun unique experience in a comfortable 4 seater rail car. The track has historical history and fortunately is in good shape for the 2 hour round trip. Interesting narration along the way as you encounter swallows, pigeons, doves, & quail...along with red deer herds, sheep and cattle. The variety of plants include many native. We have been traveling in NZ for nearly 3 weeks and this ride had the largest variety of bird species yet. It is near the Redwood Forest. The stop half way was in the building seen in Yogi Bears movie! Definitely take time to "ride the rails". Staff were very helpful and explained everything. The cars have automatic speed adjustments so you have time to look around. Gorgeous scenery!”

“We did the return trip and it was fun.It is original,interesting,because of the provided information inside the car over the speakers and the track goes through some pretty interesting scenery. The car is comfortable and it is a great,relaxing thing to do on a hot day ,like we did.And kids will love it too,a car that goes by itself is the kind of magical and futuristic experience that they will like.It is something unique and worth doing.”
