Had a great afternoon out with the family, ranging from 8 to 68. Paul was a very wonderful guide keeping all entertained during a well thought out and enjoyable tour.

  Awesomely wicked - An awesome experience highly recommended for everyone you get to feed the chickens, take a bush walk and have a cuppa and meet the bush bantam. A definite fun time... read more on the bush walk trip oh and Paul tells some good jokes too. Thank you Paul for a lovely day out and thanks mum and dad for a great birthday present 😊💜💜

We were given safety briefing by Brenden – hope I’ve got that right – and we set off along the track and had a great time. Stopped to feed chickens and geese along the way, had a really informative walk & talk around an area of native vegetation. Later we stopped and tea/coffee was brewed and biscuits offered, tea was by far the best we had tasted during our trip down under.
Paul has put huge amount of effort in to restoring the rail line and the little buggies are both fun and easy to drive. It is a safe and relaxing way to see more of the beautiful countryside and learn more of the vegetation that once covered NZ, much of which has now been replaced by non-indigenous species.
If you are visiting the area then we would highly recommend you take the time to visit and join one of the tours offered, it is safe, informative and great fun.
Paul trust you are recovering well.

Paul was very helpful and knowledgeable about the line which winds its way through farmland and amazing stands of native bush at a leisurely pace.... read more Great cup of tea and biscuits in the bush retreat before heading back through the tunnel and cruising back to the station.
