We had an amazing experience on the Skunk Train Rail Coaster in Willits! The ride was so much fun, with beautiful scenery around every turn and just the right mix of excitement and relaxation.
A huge thank you to our tour guides, Ben and Noah. They were both incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable with their great personalities and enthusiasm. They kept everyone engaged, shared interesting information along the way, and made sure we were comfortable and having a great time from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a unique adventure in Mendocino County, I highly recommend the Skunk Train Rail Coaster. We can’t wait to come back and ride with them in Fort Bragg!
We did the electric rail bikes. Plenty of parking at the train station. You have to get your ticket and fill out a waiver then walk across the parking lot to the rail bikes. Staff was friendly and very helpful. The instructions on how to operate the rail bikes were easy to follow. We left around 10:00 a.m. and returned around 12:30 p.m. It was a beautiful ride through the redwoods to a rest area. They give you an hour to explore the area. We took a guided tour with Windsong, she was very nice and provided information as we hiked about a mile. We were there on 4th of July. The skunk train arrived while we were on our hike. We were allowed to walk onto the train to look around. The train was newly painted for the 250th. This was a wonderful way to sight see. Although it’s a rail bike you don’t really have to pedal. Which was fine with me.
I like this train ride through the tall redwood forest! Very serene! The GlenBlair Bar is fantastic with its fire rings and lighting. Very good place for drinkers but not for just tourists! If the tickets can include a buffet BBQ, it will definitely draw more tourists to it. People couldn’t spend time just watching and listening to music! If a buffet is included, an evening out there with food will be unsurpassable! Consider the ticket is over $72, make it $100 with All you can eat Buffet BBQ with meat and seafood. Compensate a little from the fares part for the buffet will not hurt the profits! Plus more people will drink beer and wine with BBQ!
The Railbikes on the Noyo experience was excellent! Our guides Sochi and Atlas were terrific, educational and made the experience even better. We loved her nature explanation down the hike to the bikes and pointing out different mushrooms, slugs, trees that we would not have noticed. The picnic lunch at Camp Noyo was a relaxing stop next to the river. Although it’s a 5-hr day, it went by quickly and was a great workout! There is a shorter option if you want a quicker trip but we loved this one… We highly recommend this experience!
