  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 !

  Fun, enjoyable and refreshing - We enjoyed our experience of travelling through nature as a group but also on our own. Paul helped us feel safe, looked after and entertained. The kids seemed to enjoy... read more the day too. I love Paul's sense of humour. Usually after a day out or a tour I'd arrive home feeling spent but because of the gentle pace of the day, interesting things to see and the fun memories, I felt great. I thought it was great how people were helped to feel included and I particularly like how Paul asked the men to help move the trains around while the ladies watched. That's the life.

  Awakeri Training Day - Rainy day but Paul made it enjoyable..can see the effort Paul has gone to allow people to catch a glimpse of the history of a bygone rail era.
