Itinerário
A Rotorua Railcruising Station é o seu ponto de partida para sua jornada em cima dos trilhos. Após um breve briefing de segurança, seu Guia irá colocá-lo em seu vagão de trem e prepará-lo para a pista. No caminho você verá terras agrícolas rolantes, florestas nativas de 1000 anos, vistas sobre o Lago Rotorua.
Passando pelo site da estação Tarukenga, você pode ver ao seu lado Toi te Whenua, uma escultura de alumínio de 5,5 m de altura posicionada ao lado da estrada para cumprimentar os viajantes à medida que entram Rotorua do lado Waikato.
Um pouco mais adiante, no lado direito da pista é o Tarukenga Marae. Este Marae é um Marae Te Arawa localizado apenas fora de Rotorua, e estreitamente ligado a Ngāti Te Ngākau e Ngāti Tura hapū do Te Ure o Uenukukōpako iwi. Seu wharenui (casa de reunião) é chamado Te Ngākau, e serve como um centro cultural, espiritual e comunitário para a população local.
Ohokeriki ou Dansey Road Scenic Reserve é uma floresta nativa de 468 hectares a oeste de Ngongotahā, Rotorua, conhecida por suas árvores antigas de rimu e tawa, rica biodiversidade e esforços de conservação. O comboio conduz através desta floresta nativa que tem milhares de anos.
Mamaku Railcruising Station fica no local da estação de trem original Mamaku e é o seu ponto de viragem, ou final de sua viagem.

The experience itself was good. Booked through trip advisor and discussed that my debit card was charged $160 dollars for what we saw and booked as a $90 trip for 2 people. Claiming a US$ to NZ$ transition. Absolutely disgusted by the fee.
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!

We’re delighted you found the experience worthwhile, and we hope to welcome you back for another cruise along the tracks.
Such a lovely and relaxing way to spend a few hours seeing and learning about Rotorua's history! The workers (lady with pink hair, softly spoken man with glasses) were lovely to us aswell making it a better experience all around! Would go again 😊

Good for all kinds of weather. When we went it was raining and we still had an amazing time they provided blankets and tea/ coffee
It was a fantastic journey and the tour commentary was informative.
