The Republic

Forgotten Word Adventures full day trip. Was so well organised and staff were magnificent. Stayed at the Motel which was great. As I said to Wendy at Receptionist it’s the small things they did so well that make the trip wonderful.

Total Business Accounting

You can’t get this experience anywhere else. Indescribably beautiful. And the guide and the rest of the crew are fantastic. The food and drinks are excellent. A must-do when you’re in New Zealand.

The Ultimate

Lorraine, Lisa Tiana, our group leaders, did a brilliant job in keeping us on track (pun intended) for one of our best ever adventures. We took a rare opportunity to spend two days with our adult sons. We all had a lot of fun over the two days of our “Ultimate Adventure”. I can’t recommend this highly enough. Just do it.
