The Republic

We'll Be Back

We’ll Be Back. Can’t speak highly enough about our Republic Trip to Whangamomona. The Accommodation in Taumarunui was great as was the night at the Whangamomona Hotel. Our guides, Jo, Belinda and Opal couldn’t have been more helpful and knowledgeable. Also Ray, who transported us back to Taumarunui by road. The scenery was spectacular and the morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea were tasty fresh home baking. Couldn’t ask for more. Thoroughly recommend. Will definitely be doing it again with my Aussie visitors. (31 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.
