Reiseverlauf
Die Rotorua Railcruising Station ist Ihr Ausgangspunkt für Ihre Reise auf die Schienen. Nach einer kurzen Sicherheitseinweisung setzt Sie Ihr Fortgeschrittener in Ihren Triebwagen ein und richtet Sie auf die Strecke ein. Unterwegs sehen Sie sanftes Ackerland, 1000 Jahre alte einheimische Wälder, Blick über den Rotoruasee.
Wenn Sie durch das Gelände der heute verschwundenen Tarukenga Station gehen, können Sie seitlich Toi te Whenua sehen, eine 5,5 m hohe Aluminiumskulptur, die neben der Straße positioniert ist, um Reisende zu begrüßen, wenn sie Rotorua von der Waikato-Seite betreten.
Etwas weiter, auf der rechten Seite der Strecke befindet sich die Tarukenga Marae. Diese Marae ist eine Te Arawa Marae, die etwas außerhalb von Rotorua liegt und eng mit Ngāti Te Ngākau und Ngāti Tura hapū des Te Ure oder Uenukukōpako iwi verbunden ist. Sein Wharenui (Versammlungshaus) heißt Te Ngākau und dient als kultureller, spiritueller und gemeinschaftlicher Knotenpunkt für die Menschen vor Ort
Ohokeriki oder Dansey Road Scenic Reserve ist ein 468 Hektar großer einheimischer Wald westlich von Ngongotahā, Rotorua, bekannt für seine alten Rimu- und Taubäume, reiche Artenvielfalt und Naturschutzbemühungen. Die Eisenbahn fährt durch diesen 1000 Jahre alten Urwald.
Mamaku Railcruising Station steht auf dem Gelände der ursprünglichen Mamaku Rail Station und ist Ihr Wendepunkt oder Ende Ihrer Reise.

Love this cruise along the tracks, it was nice to be able to choose something different and out of the norm. Commentary was great, nice touch with the blankets 👌 as it was cold. Was great to have a coffee and a bickie half way. Enjoyed the trip.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re really glad you enjoyed cruising along the tracks and trying something a bit different. It’s great to hear the commentary added to your experience, and we’re happy the blankets helped keep you cosy on a cold day. We’re also pleased you enjoyed the coffee and bickie at the halfway stop. We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you back on the tracks again.
Rubbish It didn't help us at all in the end. We also didn't enjoy the ride. One way was manageable, but on the return trip we wanted to take a taxi instead because we had our 4.5-year-old child with us and didn't have any other options. What we saw in the photos was completely different from the reality. Certain areas were dirty, and the seats were dirty as well. It was definitely not worth paying that much for the experience.
We were disappointed overall. The blankets were appreciated & the reception & toilets at Mamaku were very nice, but the start had a grotty porta-loo, the hand washing room was locked, & the receptionist/guide was not very friendly. Because the weather was wet we put the plastic sidings down, but they were very old and faded so we couldn't see through them. The sound system was terrible & couldn't be heard over the train. The view is dull most of the way, it could be greatly enhanced by getting local sculptors to put up some installations or similar. Overall a waste of money.
Commentary a little muffled. Personal headphones would be helpful

Lovely experience. Blankets are a nice touch. Staff friendly and kind. Tidy. Just be sure to dress warmly.

To those who love nature, green scenery and something unique, this is a good experience for you. It was raining on the day we booked it but the staff were friendly and helpful, process was easy to understand. We enjoyed the whole trip. there were some areas that could do some bush trimming as they were blocking some good views. None the less, definitely worth a try. you'd even get complimentary hot drinks and biscoff when you reach Yogi bear's hut!
