“One of the coolest and most unique experiences we’ve ever done.”

This is praise indeed from full-time travel content creators Jess and Luke Riddle who recently embarked on our one-day Republic adventure with their two children Ocie and Rumi in tow. They approached us as part of their North Island road trip, asking whether they could feature Forgotten World Adventures, and of course we said yes! They’ve documented their trip with us on their popular YouTube channel As We Wander in an episode entitled “We Drove New Zealand’s Most Forgotten Road | New Zealand Road Trip Ep. 25. Check it out! I recommend you take a look if you’re contemplating doing one of our rail cart adventures with young children – they’ve really captured the essence of the trip and highlight how much fun kids have on these tours. They really are accessible for everyone.

Jess and Luke have been 8 years on the road and 8 months in NZ so far. You can follow their adventures here https://www.instagram.com/_aswewander. They’ve also written a book, As We Wander – Road Trip Australia which was published last year. Congratulations guys! Many thanks for supporting and recommending us, we really do appreciate it.
