The ride was great just a shame about the weather. The views were great. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food and drink were reasonably priced on the train. This experience was great. Would have been good to maybe have background music on or maybe a historical guide playing through speakers like they have on buses. Would recommend. Travel on a through beautiful landscapes. Booking in advance is advised as the trains get busy. Visited in July,was lovely to see the fantastically restored carriages doing what they were built to do. Watching the crews oiling them up and preparing them to pull the carriages as they get up is a sight to behold and watching and listening to them leaving the station is a sight to behold. Highly recommend the snowdon star… we had such amazing views… will be back to do another part of the highland railway soon… Boarded the here and travelled to Porthmadog by narrow gauge train, well the worth it to seat back and admire the senary as you travel through parc Eryri (Snowdonia National park) We brought the return fare coasting £70 each, i think the price is a bit expensive but its a 6 hour trip to and from caernarfon. You get a 1 and a half hour break st caernarfon then you return back. Our day trip from Caernarfon to Beddgelert by was one of the absolute highlights of our visit to Wales. The journey took us through the stunning Welsh Highlands, offering breathtaking views all along the way. Beddgelert is a charming little gem of a town—picturesque, peaceful, and perfect for a short stroll or a relaxing meal. The return ticket cost around £62 per person, which may feel a bit steep, but the experience is truly worth it. The entire round trip takes about 5 hours, including some time to explore Beddgelert before heading back. If you’re visiting North Wales, this ride is an absolute must-try! Visited early July 2025. After a very nice breakfast at Spooners cafe in Porthmadog we got on our train, The Harbourmaster, to Caernarfon. What an excellent experience, aside from all the stunning scenery there was also the wildlife, the workings of the train, watching the engineer and the rest of the crew filling up with water and coal along the way was extremely interesting. Enough time in Caernarfon to grab a bite to eat or a coffee before the trip back. The pre ordered tea and clotted cream scone for the journey back finished off a very relaxing and enjoyable day.
