Destination Wanganui

The richness of the Wanganui region is completed by its cultural history and artistic creativity. Many galleries and studios are tucked away in heritage buildings (some wooden, dating back to the 1900s).

In a country that promotes and celebrates its natural beauty and diversity, the Whanganui River has physical contrast as strong as that found anywhere in New Zealand. The river enables visitors to participate in a remote and adventurous journey of discovery and understanding. In the city of Wanganui, where the river meets the sea, the century-old paddle steamer P.S. Waimarie offers a unique genuine coal-fired river journey.

How to get there: By air - 3 link flights daily from Auckland.By Driving - 3 hours from Taupo; 2.15 hours from New Plymouth; 2.30 hours from Wellington.
