This was such a great little adventure. The staff were knowledgeable, passionate and attentive. The trip on the railway line was fun. The stops along the way were well organised and the talks from the guides were informative and interesting. Safety was taken seriously enough to keep us all safe but not so seriously that it ruined the fun. The food and drink provided was tasty, and there was plenty of it. We did the half day trip, which was about right for our family with three tweens. We also were lucky enough to take the jet boat ride (conditions were right for it on the day) and this was brilliant fun. All in all a well run, fun activity in an otherwise well hidden part of New Zealand. Highly recommended.
