This was such a great little adventure. The staff were knowledgeable, passionate and attentive. The trip on the railway line was fun. The stops along the way were well organised and the talks from the guides were informative and interesting. Safety was taken seriously enough to keep us all safe but not so seriously that it ruined the fun. The food and drink provided was tasty, and there was plenty of it. We did the half day trip, which was about right for our family with three tweens. We also were lucky enough to take the jet boat ride (conditions were right for it on the day) and this was brilliant fun. All in all a well run, fun activity in an otherwise well hidden part of New Zealand. Highly recommended.

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.
