We were gifted this experience by family who have been before, and we had a great day. Our girls (8 & 2) were happy the whole time and liked stopping... read more to feed the chickens. Paul was very nice and you can tell he loves what he does. Luckily the weather was great and not too cold - I would recommend packing an extra layer as it does get windy when you’re going full speed, and it’s an open cart. There were the perfect amount of stops along the way, especially good for kids so they can get out and stretch their legs.

If you like being outdoors and have a good sense of humour then it’s definitely worth it. Overall it was an experience that we probably wouldn’t have had if we weren’t told about it, so I’m glad we did.

  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.

  This was my third visit and each time has been great. Entertainment 100%. Great information, beautiful environment and overall fun time!

  Fantastic trip with 4 young grandchildren. We did the “Chicken Run” and Paul made it so much fun for the kids. Highly recommend, and look forward to doing a longer... read more trip when they’re older! Thanks Paul for a great afternoon!

  Aussie Family has amazing time at Awakeri Rail Adventures - We went with a large extended family. The rail adventure was fantastic. We had children from 2 years to 14 years and they all enjoyed the trip.
From the... read more views of the landscape to the stops and stories along the way, the whole family will have an amazing time.
Highly recommend for everyone.
