New Zealand

Freetour of New Zealand

Once known as the ´Rine of New Zealand´ the Whanganui river meanders through one of New Zealands most unique National Parks. Feel the quietness and experience the fantastic scenery and wildlife as your experienced guide shares with you the amazing history of the area.

This National Park has a special place in New Zealands history as it displays many signs of an earlier era of which Maori and European habitation are still visible today. Visitors who have travelled up the river have often been moved as they uncover and learn of the history and struggles of the early pioneers that have gone before them.

There are always surprises around every corner. During the high season the river is very popular with canoe enthusiasts. Because of its isolation wild ducks and goats are often disturbed as you pass, and even on occasions wild pigs and deer are seen near the waters edge.

As an essential part to capture the essence of this unforgettable river trip, it is recommended that you stay at least two nights at ´Ramanui Lodge Retreat´. A two night stay has been the most preferred option for clients that allows them to relax or to take walks within the wilderness regions of the lodge. Comfortable twin rooms are offered with great hospitality, fully licensed, generous New Zealand cuisine.
