The ultimate way to explore rural New Zealand. In a self driven Rail Cart or on our new Rail Bike, travel along a decommissioned railway line through tunnels and over bridges to townships that have faded into the past

Following ancient Maori pathways and built on colonial bridle paths formed late in the 19th century, the Forgotten World landscape is remote and mysterious. Explore a history unique to New Zealand, with stories and experiences that are truly unforgettable.

Experience a total of 84kms travelling there and back on the rails.  Unlock the secrets of the land as you wind your way through the changing landscapes, through 3 tunnels and over 18 bridges, to the rugged hills that frame the Republic of Whangamomona.  Pack your own picnic to enjoy in the Republic or take a short stroll down to the historic Whangamomona Hotel to enjoy your purchased lunch surrounded by the history of the Republic.

The Adventure:  Either meet our team at Douglas or arrange to shuttle out from Stratford.  Board the RailCarts and head off into the hills arriving in Whangamomona to enjoy either your packed picnic lunch, or hearty Republic fare at the Whangamomona Hotel (additional cost to the tour).  Take time to stroll around the Republic before heading back to the station for your journey home.
