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 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.
