Whanganui River Guides are based in Taumarunui, beside the upper reaches of the beautiful waters of the Whanganui River. We welcome our guests to explore this timeless River and all its beauty, journeying into one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking National Parks and be hosted along the way by Tangata Whenua (People of the Land).
