Experience a journey along the beautiful Taumarere River on one of our Vintage engines, we have 6 different locomotives in service and alternate these across our seven-day operation.  Experience the history and nostalgia of vintage rail. Guards on every journey share the local history and personal connection to the railway and our beautiful environment.


Current timetable (Spring 2024) Trains depart from Kawakawa at 10:00am, 12:30, 3:00pm. We run every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, along with every day in the school and public holidays.  We move to our 7-day schedule on the 5th December 2024.

We stop at Taumarere Station (to pick up bikers/walkers) and finish at Whangae Tunnel located approximately 2/3 point between Kawakawa to Opua. The returning train will also stop at Taumarere before completing the trip at Kawakawa Station. It takes approximately 120 minutes for the full return trip to Kawakawa.  Note there is a 10-minute photo stop at Taumarere, neither location can be reached by car. You can only train, walk or cycle into these historic sites. 

Cyclists need to book the train connection separately and cycle-connection fares will apply. Bay of Islands Vintage Rail also have a booking office in Paihia and a coach bus service connecting visitors to Kawakawa Station in time for each train.  This needs to be booked separately online or from the Paihia booking office. We also operate every day the Cruise Ships are in the Bay of Islands, and have a Cruise and Coach package available online or from our Paihia booking office. 

Please be sure to select the correct BOARDING location - Kawakawa or Whangae Tunnel (only if you are walking) and whether you are going ONE WAY or RETURN to original location. If you have any enquiries please email: admin@bayofislandsvintagerailway.org.nz
