This is a must do. 4 day Epic. The staff made this trip a 10 out of 10. The information the local guides provided along the way added to the trip. Who knew there was a flour mill on the River! The photos the guides showed us were perfect. A past vibrant and alive to forest and paddocks today. The tunnels all hand made bridges all erected with no cranes. The jet boat portion was a perfect way to appreciate how long this river is and visualise this as the road for the area. Then we get to the food. Let’s just say start dieting a week or so before. Home baking for morning and afternoon tea Breakfasts fit for voracious eater. Thank you to every one of the FWA staff all handpicked because of their passion for the area.

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.
