  Rail adventure - a must see & do - Great raul adventure traveled the Awakeri rail line today, recommend you see our country. The lovely little bush walk and the gum boot fences something worth seeing.

We carried on to the bush restaurant and stopped for a quick cuppa and bikkies. The host Paul was amazing! Very hospitable and informative, and funny. He then invited us back to his whare to be entertained with karaoke, and my mum and mother in-law got roped into singing a song . Such a fun day filled with laughter and great memories ️ Thank you Paul for exceeding our expectations and making this day very special for us.

  Great Trip Amazing Guide - Paul our guide and operator of this adventure is so customer focused. 👍🏼👍🏼

We purchased tickets pre COVID and never got the chance to do this trip and like... read more a typical male I saw an expiry date and figured we’d missed out so just racked it up as a lesson learnt.

HOWEVER at a local show we met Paul again and got talking. I explained what had happened and said to him just treat it as a donation. He wasn’t having any of that, he immediately wrote us out new tickets and said come down you’ll enjoy it. He wasn’t wrong

We arrived and were introduced to the other adventure rail riders and promptly went through a great safety briefing and familiarisation of our rail carts.

Then we were off. Beautiful country side, frequent updates on location and how good the drivers were.

First stop to feed chickens and geese then on we went. A nice walk through some DOC naive forest with interesting information and then to the Gun Boot fence. Great quotes 👍🏼

Back to the trail and the next stop was for a cuppa. Tea, coffee or Milo and biscuits supplied. Paul’s is so charismatic 😎

Then a final run to the end of the line before turning all the carts around and a high speed run back (30km/h)

Absolutely awesome and highly recommended. Do it !
