The Whanganui River - mystical scenery set in historical surrounds.

Jet boat and canoe adventure

From the tiny, historically significant village of Pipiriki nestled on the banks of the Whanganui River, passengers will journey up-stream by jet-boat into the heart of the Whanganui National Park.

The scenery is breathtaking and the reflections great for photography.  

The jet boat stops at Mangapurua Landing where passengers disembark and walk approximately 40 minutes through native bush before arriving at the historic ‘Bridge to Nowhere’. There they are told the captivating story of the bridge and how it came to be built.

Following a picnic lunch, visitors return to the boat. Rather than returning by jet-boat, there is the option to canoe back to Pipiriki. Drift back down stream and experience the peace and tranquility of the river .

This activity can be combined with a two night stay at the Powderhorn. Our package includes:

• Bridge to Nowhere jet boat and canoe experience
• 2 nights accommodation at the Powderhorn
• 4 x continental breakfasts
• 2 x picnic lunches
