This Mother’s Day, it’s about slowing things down, sharing a few laughs, and treating Mum to something a little bit special.

From the moment you climb aboard the Tui Express with the team at Mainline Steam Heritage Trust, you’re in for more than just a journey — it’s a full day out, packed with stunning scenery, vintage rail charm, and time well spent together. Sit back as the steam locomotive carries you through the coast and the Manawatū Gorge, soaking up the views and the nostalgia along the way.

And when you roll into Mangatainoka… that’s where Tui comes in.

The crew at Tui Brewery, will be ready to welcome you with open arms for the perfect end-of-day experience. Think cold brews, a hearty BBQ in the original Flagon Room, live music, and that laid-back Kiwi hospitality Mum will love. Raise a glass, share a meal, and enjoy the atmosphere together… it’s all about making the moment count.

This isn’t just a train ride. It’s a full Mother’s Day experience — a chance to relax, reconnect, and celebrate the legends we call Mum.

We’ll have everything ready when you arrive.

So go on, treat Mum with a unique experience this May.
