A peaceful two-half hour scenic rail journey along the beautiful Taumarere River.  We will stop for cultural kōrero and connection to the year passed and the future on the horizon.  We will take time to listen to nature and reconnect within.  Kōrero lead by Ngati Hine kaumatua and stories and songs shared.
