A Fort Bragg Railbike Tour

Hubby and I did this for our anniversary. It was a great experience and I recommend trying it out at least once. There’s a nice picnic spot where you got off at, do a short hike, have your snack/lunch at the tables (they allow you to bring your own food on the rail bikes) and then head back to station. Weather was very pleasant also. Scenery was the best part of this experience! Pricey but worth trying it out once just for fun or to celebrate a special occasion.

What a beautiful day for a train ride! (Basically every day is one of those type of days). We saw deer families, beautiful fall happening amongst the big trees in the Forrest. Thank you for the flute playing in the Forrest stop and the guitar playing in the third car…. Obviously without these amazing employees who love trains, love sharing with others…. When someone has passion for what they do, there will never be a “work” day in their life….. Thank you for the awesome adventure!

Rode the skunk train when I was 5 and loved it. Rode it again for my 24th birthday and it made the day so special. The musician entertainer was so cool and the conductors were very informative and friendly. Riding through the red woods is just incredible, even in the rain :) Couldn’t recommend riding the skunk train more!!!

The limited availability and high pricing keep this from being a five star review but other than that, the whole experience was excellent. The employees were very professional and the ride through the woods was just what we hoped for. The night came and we arrived at the bar, lit up and heated by camp fires and lamps. It looks spectacular. The fact that it is only really accessible via train is isolating and cozy. I highly recommend if you’re willing to spend a bit more for a really unique experience.

We opted for the VIP tickets on the steam-powered train, and it was well worth the price. The conductor and the other staff members were polite and respectful. They let our dogs ride the train with us, which is the reason why we chose to ride the train. It was a great experience with lots of good views. The sandwiches that were made for us and given to us in the customer ice chest were great as well. One tip I have that I didn't know til the very end of our trip was, they put little round wooden disc's in the front pocket of the ice chest and those are used on the train for any drink that you would like. Also, since we took the 11:30 train, they offered to let us stay at the drop-off point and ride the 3:00 pm train back. That would have been good to know beforehand because we would have prepared for that. I would have loved to walk around the grounds for a couple of hours rather than rushing off the train, eating quickly, and getting back on the train in about 20 minutes. We will be going back again to experience one of the longer train rides in the future.
