Unforgotten Experience

Unforgotten Experience. Recommend this trip from start to finish. Forgotten World Adventures in Taumaranui are a great team. Wonderful commentary from Chris who had clear voice pronunciation, informed us on our travel along the rails of how the railway, tunnels and hard work came about and how we are able to enjoy it today. Gareth? bus driver was also worth his weight in gold caring for us. The trip was also highlighted by food! Stopping at small settlements along the railway for delicious refreshments. On bucket list to do again but in reverse from Stratford to Taumaranui next time.
We did Taumaranui to Whangamomona. (23 Mar 2025)

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.
