We did the Ultimate trip and it was literally the best even though we had a cold southerly wind but the weather was dry. The scenery is fantastic and the rail carts are the best way to see it. We were well fed with morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. The overnight at Whangamomona was excellent as was the dinner and breakfast. Our guide Lincoln was tops, full of info and help when needed as was Dave on the first day and Jo on the second, they are all a credit to the company. All in all a trip I would do again.
