Excellent - We had a great time as a family despite the rain. The carriages are equipped not to get wet, fortunately for us. The ride lasted more than 2 hours (10km... read more out and 10km back) during which we were able to feed chickens, a waika, contemplate various animals (deer, horses, cows etc). Thank you Paul.

  A Must Do Experience! - We had a FANTASTIC time at the Awakeri Railway! Myself and 3 others (including our elderly grandma) were all super impressed by the sense of humour & knowledge of our... read more tour guide.

Make sure to stop by & support this local business.

  We were pleasantly surprised on our 'chill out', Saturday morning trip where we were the party crashers on a large family birthday tour. Whilst Paul (the owner/operator loves what he... read more does) likes to be the one with the jokes, it is a bonus if you play the game, especially if you are in the last (self driving) cart where you get the most 'walkie talkie' reply time. We highly recommend the 'Bush Walk and Snack Run' to get the full experience of your trip. Thank you Paul for the personal, knowledgeable and humorous touch, that you may not get from the bigger commercial activities.

  Such fun to drive yourself. Great hosts and lovely cup of tea and biscuits at the stop - and lots dad jokes to entertain you

  Great experience through the countryside with views of horses, sheep cattle and hens, ducks and weka.
Loved the bush walk with very old kahikatea and nikaus. Billy tea or coffee... read more and lots of quirky little surprises. Paul an excellent host.
