What an amazing experience. Emerging from the fog of a fresh April morning in Taumarunui into the clear sky along the scenic route along the 82kms of track through farmland or native bush. Beautiful scenery, excellent commentaries, home baked goodies to keep us well fed for morning and afternoon teas and lunch. The 20 or so tunnels are a real feat of incredible engineering in difficult terrain – much admiration for the teams of men who cut through the hills and bush to create the line and the tunnels. A must see on your bucket list….you will be very well informed and looked after by this amazing Forgotten World Adventures company.
