Much More than Rail Bikes!!! - What a fun adventure! First of all, the staff was awesome. Extremely professional and fun. The rail bikes are easy to use especially if you have experience riding an e-bike. We cruised along the tracks with a couple of stops for views and information. At the turnaround, we were lead on a fantastic hike through the redwoods. Sochi (not sure how to spell her name!) was so knowledgeable about the forest, plants, trees and more. I learned a lot from someone passionate about that world, and I’m encouraged to learn more. Overall, this adventure should not be missed if you visit the Fort Bragg/Mendocino area!!!

Easy, fun adventure - We had a wonderful time, was so much fun. The hike with Sochee(Ms X because I can’t spell her name;) was very informative and interesting. You can tell she loves what she does. The hike is a must Atlas, and the two new guys( sorry don’t remember your names) were amazing guides. The electric bikes make it easy for anyone to do and enjoy. This is definitely worth doing. Looking forward to doing another one of their bike rail adventures.

Looks like a great time. - We did not get to go because of a mudslide. We were really looking forward to it. And we will absolutely be doing it next time.

Fun adventure for all ages! - Was a little apprehensive about having to peddle uphill before taking the trip but learned that the electric motor could handle all of the work! This let us enjoy the ride on the rails along a swollen Pudding Creek in the beautiful redwoods. A bonus was taking a guided hike at the Glen Bier turnaround spot. The staff took very good care of us. Loved the trip.

Awesomely average. - This excursion is pretty overrated. You are only on the railbike tops 15 minutes each way. It brings you to a stop where you can either chill at the bar and tables for about an hour, or take a foot guided tour of the flora on a walking path (not very rigorous). This would be worth about $75/person at best, but not $125 each. Kids would probably dig it. But it just is too short of time on the bikes to be worth the $250 for 2 people. ADVICE if you go during cold weather and you are the one operating the controls, bring gloves cuz your hand will get pretty cold (and numb) against the wind generated from the moving bike.

Fun Experience, But Poor Handling of Dog Accommodations - My husband and I booked a rail bike experience a week in advance on the Pudding Creek route for a Thursday afternoon, and we planned to bring our dog along. About 45 minutes before our scheduled time, a representative called to ask about our dog’s breed. After learning he was on the smaller side, they asked if we would consider holding him in a “backpack” instead of using the crate we had already reserved, because another customer with a larger dog needed one. Before agreeing, we arrived early to see if the backpack would work—only to discover it was actually a cooler. Our dog was clearly too big to fit comfortably, and despite being told they could cut holes in the bag for his feet and tail, we declined and asked to keep our original reservation. What was especially frustrating was how the situation was handled. At times, it felt like we were being gaslit—as if this was a normal or reasonable alternative, when it clearly wasn’t. We had planned ahead, reserved appropriately for our dog, and still felt pressured to compromise his comfort and safety. That said, the rail bike experience itself was awesome! Our dog really enjoyed the trailer crate—it gave him shade and comfort throughout the ride. Even if a proper dog backpack had been available, I wouldn’t recommend holding your dog during the ride, as it would likely take away from the experience. What disappointed me most was the lack of care shown for our dog’s well-being. It felt like the priority shifted to accommodating more customers rather than honoring our reservation and ensuring a safe, comfortable experience. Suggesting that our dog be placed in what was essentially a backpack cooler didn’t sit right with me. I do hope this is something they learn from, because overall, this is still a place I would recommend—and one I’d consider revisiting for a different experience.

Complete scam - We arrived an expected more out of a almost $300 rail cart ride we were probably on the bikes for about 20 mins in total we spent 10 mins of it riding to the junction we spent more time at the junction doing nothing we had the option of a 0.9 mile hike but were told the bathrooms would arrive shorty to use the bathroom so we waited and by the time they came in was a hour and half later of doing nothing no food or drinks then once the bathrooms came it was time to go 10 mins back to town and that was it, really underwhelming and was very disappointing this was for my girlfriends birthday
