Taumarunui Canoe Hire and Jet Boat Tours

We provide canoe/kayak/bike hire and exhilarating Jet Boat Tours. Take a trip through the many rapids and lush native bush with some of the best scenic landscaping in the World, all found on the right here on the incredible Whanganui River.

We provide up to date top quality equipment, give, accurate information on Canoeing, & Jet-Boating for the Whanganui River Journey, very importantly we deliver quality Professional & Personalised service. You will receive Waterproof Barrels, Informative Maps, Life Jackets and our Canoes are some of the newest on the river. (Every year we average 20 Brand New Boats).

All you have to supply is your Camping Gear and Food. Even then we have every sort of Camping Gear for Hire (If we dont have something you need we live on site, and we have been known to raid our home to get what you need).

You can even hire our bikes and we will bring the Bikes to Pipiriki for you to Bike to Whanganui so you don't have to paddle all the way.

WHY we give you a thorough Safety Briefing at our office is to show you on Video the Hazards and the Campsites, this sets you up for an amazing well informed journey and helps to keep you safe.

We are the only Qualmarked Whanganui River Canoe & Jet Boat Company on the top end of the River for your safety, and if you are paddling with us and a Rescue is required, we have a small Rescue Fee. If your hiring from another Company, rescue fees will be expensive.

Most of our customers have never canoed, rafted or camped before but thoroughly enjoy their Whanganui River Canoes and/or Kayaks and find it well within their capabilities.

Almost anyone can enjoy one of our journeys including large groups, business trips, families, beginner paddlers, experienced Kayakers and those that like a challenge and loads of fun on the Whanganui River. Your comfort, enjoyment and safety is our main priority. (Ask about an extra day if you would like a really relaxed journey or if you have children.)

Another great thing about doing the Whanganui Journey with us is we have 3 Buses and 2 Vans running which makes it really fast picking up at the Boat Ramp in Pipiriki on busy days. We have the vehicles waiting at the Boat Ramp and as they fill up we leave with our Customers, so YOUR NOT WAITING AROUND.
