Paddling the Whanganui Journey | New Zealands Great Walks | Episode 8

Although not technically a walk, the Whanganui Journey is classified as one of New Zealand’s Great Walks. Spanning 145 km from Taumarunui to Pipiriki, this one-way canoe paddle typically takes 5 days to complete. However, many adventurers opt for a 3-day version, starting at Whakahoro and finishing at Pipiriki. Paddle through remote hills, bush-clad valleys, and encounter waterfalls, rapids, and historic sites. The river’s beauty and cultural significance make it a memorable experience for all. If you’re up for an unforgettable canoe adventure, the Whanganui Journey awaits!
