Review for: Ngongotaha Ultimate Express - 2 hr return from Ngongotaha
it is good to enjoy this trip as you no need to drive. the train is automatically drive you to the destination and some guide during the trip so that you know the history and some special location of the rail. But due to this windy and cooling day, we feel freezing during the trip
