Viagem ferroviária cativante em Coromandel
Descrição
O Driving Creek Railway não é apenas um passeio panorâmico, é uma viagem através da visão de vida de um homem de criatividade e conservação. Cada ponte, túnel e curva foi construída à mão pelo cervejeiro e engenheiro local Barry Brickell, transformando o sonho de um artista em uma obra-prima viva. Hoje, a floresta que uma vez rodeou seu atelier floresceu em um santuário protegido cheio de canto de pássaros e arbusto nativo. Com vistas deslumbrantes da Torre EyeFull e histórias compartilhadas pelo seu Guia, este passeio conecta arte, natureza e ingenuidade do Kiwi de uma forma que você não encontrará em nenhum outro lugar.

Great family outing, we all enjoyed ourselves. The views were amazing and so was the guide. A fun, adventurous and new experience for our whānau. Thank you very much
Wonderful trip with a magnificent view.
Great rail travel planning through the reserve area.
Great quirky rail trip; v enjoyable
Very cool experience, great background info and conductor was also knowledgeable about plants and animals. The tower at the end had a ramp so you can skip stairs! Super views on top.
It’s well worth the money! Everything was great and the view at the top was exceptional. Rug up though as it was quite cool
One man's vision shaped this railway. Barry Bricknell built this railway initially to bring clay and wood to his kilns but, as a conservationist, he also used it to transform farmland into reclaimed native forest. Now this narrow-gauge railway takes you through pretty forested land (there are some good signs to identify local plants) up to Eyeful Tower with wonderful views and you get off midway at the tunnel as well. For the railway enthusiast the switchbacks / reversing tracks would be interesting, at least we found them so. There are also examples of his pottery along the way which make it more engaging. The website is very informative and very clear about what you could expect. The driver and staff were very informative too. We are not railway enthusiasts (we had really done this trip because I could not find anything else of interest in Coromandel Town and so, while checking the website to make sure there were spots available, I actually waited until we got there to book) but I thought this trip was very memorable and quite a unique experience.
Excellent, guide was great! Perfect about on time. Easy to get too and get around! Will recommend to everyone
We had a fantastic time! loved it. We were very greatful that Driving creek offer the carer and disability entry as this makes it very accessible for families like ours. Service was so thorough, friendly and helpful right the way through from enquiry, to booking to going on the tour. The railway ride itself is fascinating, with very interactive and knowledgeable guides talking you through history and other information. Amazing sites to check out and the view at the top is unforgettable. The tour itself takes approx an hour from start to finish. Very comfortable ride! Would highly recommend. So many sites to take in!
We enjoyed the ride. The scenery was spectacular
