Pedaling along our historic tracks, bathed in dappled sunlight and a light breeze, you’ll experience a new freedom on the rails, unlike anything else. Without the need to steer, you’re unbound, able to look around at the wonder of this untouched stretch of the natural world, spotting blue herons, osprey, an occasional lounging turtle, perhaps a playful river otter, a deer munching on the foliage, and during peak berry season maybe even a bear.

What To Expect

Experience the California Redwoods and our rails in an entirely new way aboard our unique, electric powered Railbikes. Pedal along our historic California Western Railroad tracks while enjoying the sunshine, cool breeze, and towering redwoods amongst osprey, blue herons, river otters, ducks, geese, turtles, deer and many other animals that make their home along the Pudding Creek Estuary. Once arriving at the half-way point, Glen Blair Junction, you will have 50 minutes to get off your bike and explore the numerous hiking trails, lounge on our magnificent redwood deck, enjoy our pavilion with picnic tables and fire pits, and explore the coastal redwoods before your return 3.5 mile trip back to the depot. This is a truly unique experience and fun for all ages 6 and up.

This was so fun and so unique! My husband and I did the rail bike tour, which was a nice length (we would have loved to have gone on a longer one), taking you out to the prettiest little pavilion nestled among the redwoods, where we could warm up by the fire pits, grab a cocktail and a snack, and take a leisurely hike. Don’t miss the guided hike! Not only is it simply beautiful, but our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the forest. An absolute delight! Pro tip: tickets are discounted if you buy them day-of!
Just do it!

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.
Highly Recommend

So much fun! We loved everything about the rail bike experience, from our guides to the scenery to the bike itself. I loved having no walls or windows around me, just feeling the breeze as we moved ourselves forward. The pedals are quite easy to operate with the electric battery boost when needed. Yet we could also choose to get more exercise if we wanted to. It was great for both of our knees. The seats were really comfortable also. I remember thinking, golly, almost anyone can do this, from age 8 to 88! On reaching the destination, after a ahort break, we opted to go on the guided trail hike. Great experience. Our guide Xochil (pron. SO-chi) related a lot of interesting information about redwoods and forest ecology, and did so clearly and sincerely. Clear and sincere, a great combination. Her personal passion for the forest really came across and made us feel passionate too. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I want to come back with friends!
So much fun-just do it!

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.
