Rail River Combo

So funky and fun!

So funky and fun! This is such a fun experience. It is 3 hours from Auckland and you get to see the countryside. These are golf carts on an old railroad line. You don’t have to steer, just enjoy the scenery and you get your own cart. There is a stop for tea and snacks and later a stop for lunch. At the end there is a ride on a jet boat which was fun. The hotel itself is very basic but clean. This was my husband’s favorite adventure of our 3 week trip to New Zealand ! Take it if you can, you won’t be disappointed. (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.
