A short 15 minute drive out of the City up the Whanganui River takes you to one of the local Marae, Pungarehu where your trip begins. From the place only king tides reach, this stretch of river has hidden gems only those lucky enough to know where they are can find. A short paddle takes you to the renown Hipango Park where the steam boats used to go and further down to see one of the local Pou (Carved Poles) which still stands today. Our guides will share with you their knowledge through waiata (song) and kōrero (stories) that give you an understanding of what it used to be like in this area in days gone by.
Great if you’re wanting a full day experience for your family, your classroom or your work colleagues.
