Karen P - Forgotten World Adventures | Rail Cart and Jet Boat Experiences

My 89 year old mother and I had an enjoyable and memorable day with Forgotten World Adventures at Easter on the “Republic 20” from Okahukura to Whangamomona. We were blessed with good weather, but were well prepared for the cold in the tunnel thanks to the good pre departure advice.
The FWA staff were all very knowledgeable, professional and ensured we had a great time, learned all about the history of the area and stayed safe. The food FWA provided was both delicious and generous. I particularly enjoyed the lunch with build your own sandwiches with very very fresh bread and a wide range of fillings. We had our car transferred to Whangamomona where we stayed overnight at the Hotel in the extremely comfortable new motel style units. I highly recommend this to friends and family. You won’t be disappointed.

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.
