My husband and I loved this informative and really fun railbike tour along Pudding Creek and the gorgeous Redwoods! Our guides were really fun and one of them took us on a 1 mile hike at the halfway point where there's a beautiful, covered patio where you can get beverages and play games. Next time we'll book the longer railbike tour. We would definitely recommend this excursion to family and friends!!

We did not get to go because of a mudslide. We were really looking forward to it. And we will absolutely be doing it next time.

We arrived an expected more out of a almost $300 rail cart ride we were probably on the bikes for about 20 mins in total we spent 10 mins of it riding to the junction we spent more time at the junction doing nothing we had the option of a 0.9 mile hike but were told the bathrooms would arrive shorty to use the bathroom so we waited and by the time they came in was a hour and half later of doing nothing no food or drinks then once the bathrooms came it was time to go 10 mins back to town and that was it, really underwhelming and was very disappointing this was for my girlfriends birthday

Amazing history! Lots of fun on the rail bikes! Hosts/guides were well informed and super personable. Loved our time amongst the trees!

A very good trip, well organised with great staff who were very informative. Jonny and Donna were our hosts and couldn’t have been better, clear instructions and lots of information. There is very little peddling to do as the rail bikes have an electric motor which powers the bikes. When we arrived at the end of the trail, Jonny took the group on a 25 minute walk explaining lots of facts about the trees and the history of the Skunk Railway. Overall a very good 2.5 hours.

The experience was fun, a nice change to try something different. The weather was beautiful and the scenery was very pretty. We really enjoyed Marcus one of our guides. We went on a mile hike with him during the lunch break. I think it is a bit pricey for the area and the overall experience. The lunch break needs no more than 45 minutes max. We had trouble with our car but managed to have a great time anyway.

Total experience was awesome! Our guide was very knowledgeable with a background in botany which was very interesting & a bonus. Experience is a 5; cost lowered it to a 4.

Kyle and Donna were great tour guides and the rail bikes were fun. You only have to pedal if you want to, or you can just sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful redwoods

The rail bike ride was super fun! The kids llved it! There was a pretty mile hike at the end if you wanted a long stroll in the trees.

The railroad bike was a new experience for me in the Fort Bragg area. The ride was quiet and peaceful! The weather was perfect. It was nice to ride through the woods with a light breeze around. Our guides were helpful and knowledgeable about the railroad history in this area. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience!

The only reason my husband and I stayed in Fort Bragg was to ride the Redwoods Railbikes Along Pudding Creek, and they didn't disappoint. Even the instructional film we watched before we headed out was done very well. The Railbikes were easy to operate and the scenery was beautiful all along the way. We also liked the guided hike we took with our guide at the turnaround point. It was just a super fun experience which we both enjoyed and will highly recommend.

The experience was easy with electric assist. Nice pace that anyone can do. Very scenic. Would highly recommend. Guides like their work and it showed.
Melanie_F, Jul 2024
So fun! Our guide was awesome. It was a beautiful day weather wise as well. It was educational with all the stories that our guide told on our stops along the way. Our guide also took the ones that wanted to go, on a mile hike when we got to the patio area at the end of the trail. That too was so fun and educational about the logging the stories of all the people before us who did all the work on the railway. Walking through the beautiful redwoods. I would definitely recommend to anybody to do this excursion and we would do it again. And what is also awesome is that the rail bikes have a little motor for people with mobility issues. So, so fun!

We had a great time!! The battery powered assist really helps! Johnny & Ember were fantastic! Both guys were very kind and extremely knowledgeable!
They had us all laughing! Was truly a lot of fun!

The guides were great! Lots of background on the history of the railbikes and the logging camp. Keenan and Ember were very personable and entertaining! The railbike itself was very fun. I would love to come back with grandkids (ages 6-16).

Reservation was completely botched by aviator/Skunk Train. Too much down time halfway through the ride with very little to do.

Great experience and beautiful scenery. The rail cars were a great time and would highly recommend..

Great fun day! Tour guides were very entertaining and knowledgeable- thank you John and Keean. There is a stop halfway so you can hike or just rest if you want to. Takes the same path as the train so was able to go in the train and purchase some beverages if you wanted to.
John_B, Oct 2023
our two guides were super helpful and made us feel safe. While still keeping it light.. The rail trip itself was so beautiful and so fun. The cars themselves are so quiet compared to the locomotive option we had considered. so we really felt like we were traveling down the rails alone among the redwoods. and by the way, you don’t even need to paddle if you don’t want to. The electric electric batteries supply all the energy and speed you need. this was a totally memorable day. Loved it.

The rail bikes are a fun way to take in beautiful scenery and get a little exercise. We’ll be back for more!
