This tour departs Taumarunui at 7.30am and 11.00am. Shuttle from our depot out to our RailCarts and prepare to marvel at the determination and hardship that was endured as they hand dug tunnels, built 25 bridges and laid tracks through rugged terrain nearly 100 years ago. Morning tea and lunch or lunch and afternoon tea will be served along the way and we will return you to our base around 1:30pm or 4:30 pm. Stop at the Lavender Farm to buy a hot or cold beverage either on your way to the RailCarts or on your way back.
