This has to be one of the best adventures in New Zealand

This has to be one of the best adventures in New Zealand. We were not aware of it until seeing an advert from Pukekohe Travel and we thought it was definitely something that we should do. We were not disappointed in any way and loved every minute. The weather gods were smiling and this really started the adventure off in the right way. Chris was absolutely tops, very informative and was able to pass on the history without stumbling or waffling and in a nice loud voice. The stops for morning tea and lunch were very well done. Your whole teem should be congratulated on a superb effort. The highlight was to see the sort of country that the SOL passes through and the time it took to complete the line. Understanding the reason for it and the reason why it is now used as a tourist attraction. Definitely a must do that we will recommend to friends. (1 Apr 2025)

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.
