Electric-Assist Railbikes for an Active Redwood Ride
Approximately 5 hours
2 people
25-mile route, electric assist
Discover a railbike experience built for an active day outdoors. Travel beyond the usual path on the Redwood Route.
Begin the day at our Sherwood Road property with a scenic hike down through the redwoods to the Noyo River and the east end of Tunnel #1. You’ll get acquainted with your bikes and guides, and set off – trips will be staggered by a few minutes so that you can enjoy the solitude of the route as you make your way 12.5 miles inland along the tranquil river. You’ll pass South Fork, Ranch, Redwood Lodge, Grove, and other historic stops, crossing over wooden trestle bridges that offer stunning views of the river below. Pull into Camp Noyo and take an hour break, with a picnic and refreshments offered complimentary for your enjoyment. Take a swim in the river, relax, or stroll among the redwoods before setting off home.
Reservations are non-refundable. Cancellations with at least 72 hours' notice may be rebooked. Full refund if the operator cancels due to dangerous conditions.

The staff here really makes the experience special. Multiple reviewers rave about Malakai, the singing conductor, who pulls out multiple instruments and takes song requests while entertaining passengers throughout the journey. The crew is consistently described as friendly, funny, and courteous, creating a welcoming atmosphere that guests appreciate. There are different route options departing from different locations, and some packages include meals or access to upgraded cars like the Presidential option with drinks and snacks. Most visitors genuinely enjoy the scenic ride through the redwoods, particularly recommending the open-air car for the full experience. The main criticism centers on expectations: some guests anticipated a longer journey and found the shorter routes (around 30 minutes each way) didn't match what they'd imagined, especially given the ticket price. The midpoint stops offer activities like pumpkin picking, cornhole, and walking trails, though dwell time can feel rushed. Bring bug spray if you're sensitive to mosquitos during stops. If you're looking for a relaxing, family-friendly train experience with solid entertainment and beautiful scenery, this delivers, just confirm your route details beforehand.
Very fun, beautiful views, lively staff. Highly recommend!
