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.

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.

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.
