I recently did the Epic tour with friends. This was an adventure of two days – Taumarunui to Stratford on rail carts and two days returning to Taumarunui by jet boat on the Whanganui River. Overnight stays were at Whangamomona, Whanganui and Blue Duck Station. The organisation, food, accommodation, transport and friendly staff were all outstanding. The journey provided a varied and detailed insight into a slice of New Zealand history. Guides (Ray on the rail carts, Tracy on the mail run up the Whanganui River) were exceptional. It helped that the weather was good as well. I expected an enjoyable comfortable adventure. This tour went beyond expectations. The attention to detail and friendly hospitality of the staff at Forgotten World Adventures made this trip one of my great memories. I plan to come back for more
