Climb aboard New Zealand's only mountain railway for a 75 minute scenic tour winding through the native forest of Coromandel. As the hand built carriages climb higher, you will cross 10 bridges and pass through three tunnels, with regenerating bush pressing close on either side and glimpses of the coast opening up at every turn. Your friendly guide brings the place to life, sharing how a former kauri logging site became a thriving sanctuary for native wildlife, where art, engineering and conservation now sit side by side.

At the top you reach the EyeFull Tower, where panoramic views stretch across the Hauraki Gulf and its scattered islands, and an interpretation handout helps you take it all in. It is a gentle, family friendly journey and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon among some of Coromandel's most remarkable scenery.
