A wonderful day out with Forgotten World Adventures. We were lucky to enjoy beautiful Autumn weather as we started our day with a jet boat ride down the Whanganui river. The driver gave us plenty of interesting information about the history of the river stopping at various points along the way and did just enough spins to add some excitement without it being a white knuckle ride! The lunch stop was quite adequate mainly sandwiches and cake before we headed off in the afternoon on the rail carts. They were easy to drive and it was a great way to see so much of the countryside .
There were more information stops on route and then afternoon tea coffee/tea and cakes. We then headed on and went through the longest tunnel on route stopping in the middle for a ” lights out experience ” before going on to our destination. This is a great day out and would highly recommend for all ages, but maybe not for the real thrills and spills seekers.

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.
