Forgotten World Adventures

Abandoned since 2010, the 142km long Stratford-Okahukura Line with its 24 tunnels and 90+ bridges, all hand-built, now serves as our playground. The quiet mystery of this region of the Central North Island is steeped in history and cultural significance. Immerse yourself in passionate storytelling about our ancestry whilst exploring one of the country's most beautiful and remote locations. Choose from six unique experiences, each featuring an iconic self-driven guided rail cart journey on the Forgotten World railway between Taumarunui and Stratford. Adventures can include a jet boat ride along the Whanganui River, helicopter flight over the Whanganui National Park, visits to the historic Whangamomona Hotel and Bridge to Nowhere, and more.
