Trail57225111785 - Forgotten World Adventures | Rail Cart and Jet Boat Experiences

I recently did the Epic tour with friends. This was an adventure of two days – Taumarunui to Stratford on rail carts and two days returning to Taumarunui by jet boat on the Whanganui River. Overnight stays were at Whangamomona, Whanganui and Blue Duck Station. The organisation, food, accommodation, transport and friendly staff were all outstanding. The journey provided a varied and detailed insight into a slice of New Zealand history. Guides (Ray on the rail carts, Tracy on the mail run up the Whanganui River) were exceptional. It helped that the weather was good as well. I expected an enjoyable comfortable adventure. This tour went beyond expectations. The attention to detail and friendly hospitality of the staff at Forgotten World Adventures made this trip one of my great memories. I plan to come back for more

The Expedition

Remote NZ at its best. Fun, friendly and informative. The cost for such an excellent weekend was very reasonable. We spent two days and one night with on our expedition. We had a lot of laughs, while learning the history of the area. The jet boat and Heli trip is something I will never forget. Staff are always there and ready to help. There was a group of twelve of us on our trip and we were easily accommodated.

The Republic

A friend and I recently did the Republic 1 Forgotten World rail tour and I have to say it was one of the absolute best experiences of our lives!! We stayed the night at the Forgotten World Motel as we were traveling down from Auckland and though it is an older motel, it had everything we needed for a two night stay. But from the motel to the rail tour to the shuttle ride back at the end of the tour the most memorable thing was the staff

Absolutely unforgettable — a true bucket-list experience. We did Forgotten World Adventures last weekend and honestly… wow. This is one of the most unique experiences you can do in New Zealand. Every detail was dialled in perfectly — seamless transport, great food, comfy accommodation, and totally on-time organisation from start to finish.
