Enjoy a scenic 3 day paddle through Whanganui National Park
Stay at recommended campsites for the best trip flow
Ideal adventure for families, couples, and friends
Great balance of nature, paddling, and outdoor exploration
For our 3-day trip, we recommend booking John Coull for the first night and then either Tieke or the Bridge to Nowhere Lodge/Campsite for the second night. These campsites offer the best flow and pacing for the journey, giving you a smooth and enjoyable experience on the river. If any of these options are unavailable, feel free to give us a call or send an email before choosing alternative campsites, and we’ll help you find the best arrangement.
This 3-day paddle is a wonderful way to explore the beauty of Whanganui National Park while spending quality time with friends and family. The trip covers a good distance each day, with a fair amount of paddling required, so it’s important that everyone in your group has a reasonable level of fitness. With the right preparation, this adventure provides an unforgettable balance of nature, challenge, and connection.

Customer Reviews
I love everything about Whanganui River Adventures. I took the jet boat from the Bridge to Nowhere while doing Tour Aotearoa bike route in March. From booking the boat, getting picked up at the landing and staying in their cabin, everything was smooth, and everyone was helpful. The boat ride was a highlight, it’s a beautiful part of the world. And they made it even better by making our food order halfway through the ride, so burgers were ready when we arrived. The cabin was clean and comfy, great facilities: bike wash, hot shower, coin laundry, kitchen stocked with pans/pots and utensils. Great business and amazing staff!
What a fantastic day out. Well organised but relaxed start to the trip. Good H & S briefing. Then followed one of the best jet boat rides we have ever had. A good walk up to the Bridge To Nowhere. Lunch stop there with Ken giving a good run down on why the bridge was built why the settlement of this area failed. Ken’s delivery all day was good with much of it first hand family experiences. Then back to the boat - short trip and it the start of our canoe leg. A great blast - all to soon back at Pipiriki. Can only recommend this tour and the slick operation run by Josephine & Ken.
What a brilliant group of people. The business has been family owned for generations and they were so lovely and helpful. The trip on the jet boat with our guide was fantastic and the water and surrounding landscape was beautiful. The walk to the bridge was great and the bridge had such an interesting history, which our guide knew so much about. This tour is an absolute gem and I cannot recommend it enough.
