We did the full day trip to Whangamomona and bus return to Taumaranui. We have nothing but full praise for all the staff team from the Forgotten World Motel staff to the team to look after us on the journey. With 24 tunnels and numerous bridges through varied countryside from farmland to bush it was impressive. The various stops to hear about the local history was excellent. So too were the morning and afternoon tea stops and we were well looked after at lunch time. In case you might be wondering the carts are easy and safe to operate. Some stay at the iconic Whanagamomona pub and speak highly of the experience. We chose the bus journey back to town. We have nothing but full admiration for a wonderful team. Highly recommended. It must be on you bucket list.
