We thought the tramway would be a lazy way to learn something about the forest and town. Jason had some interesting information, but his endless, repetitive jokes about rules, safety (or lack thereof) and leaving people behind was irritating. Some of the older patrons seemed amused - or perhaps were playing along. There are some fabulous tourism options in Pemberton.... More

It's quite a long trip and younger kids can get bored as the talk is mainly about the history of Pemberton and the logging industry there. Very informative, but not the "tram ride" we were expecting for the kids. More

The tram ride is through really lovely scenery, although the exceedingly in-detail commentary was way over the top - stopping at a log mill for about 10 minutes whilst every procedure was minutely described was boring. With young kids on the tram you need to make it light and minimal - and the same for everyone else. You expect the... More

Good value for money and beautiful scenery, it's such a shame you have to listen to the tram driver the whole way kind of ruins the joy of being in the forest. Also pre book your tickets as there is't many seats More

I must concur with the comments about Adam the driver made by SharWal on 30 March 2012. We paid for a tram journey through spectacular forest country - not the banal commentary of a 3rd rate comedian. This is a great product but the owners/trustees of Pemberton Tramway must do something to protect their sizeable investment by bringing Adam into... More

This was a good activity for young children - especially little boys who love trains like mine does. Just under 2 hours was perfect timing to hold their interest and get to see some of the forest. I must admit though I found the driver/commentary a little tiresome. A bit too much irrelvant chat for me!! More
