Embark on an exhilarating 32 km jetboat adventure up the stunning Whanganui River, a journey that takes you deep into one of New Zealand’s most scenic and historic regions. Along the way, the jetboat will make several stops at points of natural beauty and cultural significance, giving you the chance to admire the untouched wilderness, hear fascinating stories from the past, and truly appreciate the power and serenity of this remarkable river. The experience combines speed, excitement, and breathtaking scenery, making it perfect for those who love both adventure and nature.

Upon reaching the Mangapurua Landing, the adventure continues on foot with a 40-minute walk—approximately 2.7 km—through lush native bush to the iconic Bridge to Nowhere. This historic landmark stands as a powerful reminder of the area’s early settler history and the resilience of those who once tried to make a life in the remote wilderness. Surrounded by dense forest and birdsong, the walk offers peaceful immersion in nature, leading to one of New Zealand’s most hauntingly beautiful sites.
