The Ultimate 1 - Taumarunui to Stratford

The history of this unique landscape will resonate as you absorb the stories and relive the memories of New Zealand’s pioneering past with this two-day journey back in time.  Unplugged yet still ‘on the line’ as you travel the entire 142km from Okahukura to Stratford with an overnight stay in Whangamomona.  You’ll go through all 24 tunnels, cross all 98 bridges and see the remnants of the original settlements along the line – the ultimate experience.

You can continue on your travels from here, talk to us about a vehicle transfer, or we can help you organise a return shuttle to your departure point.  Overnight accommodation with dinner and breakfast in the Republic of Whangamomona is included along with morning tea, lunch and afternoon snacks on both days.  We will ensure that your overnight luggage awaits you in Whangamomona and in Stratford at the end of your journey (or Taumarunui if you are shuttling back).
