I wasn’t sure what to expect but this was better than I thought. Thank you to Shane for your informative information about where we were and the history behind these places. Chris and Bella for looking after us. We did a two day trip from Stratford with another two couples. We all had a fantastic time. The home baking was yummy and staying at Whanga was like a step back in time with all the old buildings. The boys are already talking about doing a boys trip with some other mates. I was worried when they mentioned all the tunnels but by the end I was happy to go through them. Anyone thinking about doing this trip you will not be disappointed. Thank you again from all of our group.

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.
