The Whanganui River begins high up in the volcanic plateau of the central North Island at Mt Tongariro, then travels north towards Taumarunui before heading south for 260km towards Wanganui. Its journey to the sea passes through the native tree and fern clad hills of the Whanganui National Park.

Guided trips or freedom rentals are available. Please enquire at the Station Lodge’s reception for further details.
