Ride the Rain Forest Express

Ride the Rain Forest Express bush tramway through native bush and 10 tunnels, into the heart of Auckland's Waitakere Ranges.

The Upper Nihotupu Dam, testimony to the pioneering achievements of early water-works engineers, is a highlight of the ride while passengers come within touching distance of New Zealand rainforest.

The train departs at 2pm every Sunday, and there are also summer-evening barbecue trips with a glow-worm spectacular after dark. Additional trips run subject to demand.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for under-18-year-olds and pensioners, $10 for 5- to 12-year-olds. Under 5s free.
