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 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.

The Republic

A friend and I recently did the Republic 1 Forgotten World rail tour and I have to say it was one of the absolute best experiences of our lives!! We stayed the night at the Forgotten World Motel as we were traveling down from Auckland and though it is an older motel, it had everything we needed for a two night stay. But from the motel to the rail tour to the shuttle ride back at the end of the tour the most memorable thing was the staff

Absolutely unforgettable — a true bucket-list experience. We did Forgotten World Adventures last weekend and honestly… wow. This is one of the most unique experiences you can do in New Zealand. Every detail was dialled in perfectly — seamless transport, great food, comfy accommodation, and totally on-time organisation from start to finish.
