The mystical Whanganui River is New Zealand's longest navigable waterway and the perfect place for a thrilling jet boat ride.

The land surrounding the Whanganui River is rugged and remote and features steep, sloping cliffs. Native birds flock to the area, filling the air with melodious birdsong. This, combined with the stunning river scenery, makes a Whanganui jet boat ride an unforgettable experience and a real must-do on your visit to the region.
