It was an extremely fun ride. I had never been on a train and traveling on the Skunk Train was really a cool experience.

My friend and I loved being in the open car able to see all the beauty the world has to behold. People working there were very friendly. It was easy to book and pay online. Enjoyed ourselves!

We had so much fun! The guide was helpful, friendly and funny. Only wish it was a bit longer.

It was a wonderfully relaxing way to spend 75 minutes. We were able to bring our dogs. There were snacks available for purchase. You also learned a bit about the area on the train. I wish the stop at the top was longer and it was a bit pricey for what it was. That said, I’d do it again

It was the perfect family outing. The kids enjoyed popcorn on the train and the adults had a cocktail. I do wish the stop was longer so we could explore a bit more. It has been some 20 years since I rode the Skunk train sonI am glad to see they were still in business.

Great way too travel the Redwoods. Our guide Brandon was very knowledgeable about the Skunk trains history and the surrounding forest. There was also a second guide but I don't remember his name he was new been there about 6 weeks but he to was able to answer our questions and both were very professional and kind. Our family group was very happy with this activity we will do this again. Thank you Keach Family
