The Epic

A fantastic adventure that really packed in experience after experience!

A fantastic adventure that really packed in experience after experience! We travelled with two other couples and did the 4 day EPIC adventure including railcarts, mini bus transfers then jetboating on the Whanganui River through pristine national park forest. We couldn’t believe what we saw, including the rare blue duck near Blue Duck Station! All of our guides were friendly, well trained and great at relaying history of the areas we travelled through. The office staff were amazing and had everything super organised. We even had a private transfer back to our early train departure by Grant, the owner! Above our expectations to celebrate our friend’s special birthday. Well done FWA, you have a great product and should be proud. (15 Mar 2025)

The Republic

Excellent experience. One to put on the bucket list. Excellent day out. The whole experience was well organised and great. Dale was very informative at every stop and made the trip very interesting hearing the history of the once booming towns and places along the tracks. Morning/ Afternoon tea and lunch was excellent. Other staff assisting on the trip were very good.

100% NZ. Grew up in the 70s… “Don’t leave Town until you’ve seen the Country..” was the catchcry…. and Forgotten World is the Epitome!! 100%.

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.
