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.

Quad biking at its best overlooking the Tongariro National Park, will offer you fantastic views, with great riding in all conditions and all rides are catered to your ability from inexperienced to experienced riders.

This is the outback of Pure New Zealand and it's truely our natural 'middle earth'. Riding through native bushlands, across river valleys that rise up to the high points to see the mountains and wildlife, this is a very special way to see New Zealand nature at its best, riding quality horses that suit the terrain.

The thermal waters and steam in generations past was used for puia (cooking with the steam) and boiling harakeke (flax) for raranga (weaving). This still happens today. Adults and children alike can enjoy the public pool to their hearts content all day if they wish, and the private pools at night with the stars shinning bright and the occasional snow flutter, brings out the romantic side of one.

Honour the sacrifices, learn the campaigns, be inspired by the stories of courage, loyalty and comradeship.

Make a visit to New Zealand’s most comprehensive Army Museum for access to a unique collection of military exhibits, memorabilia and public research material. A place where families can seek out and relate to their military connections.
