Thread: Wanganui canoe trip

The 'Jurasic Park' feeling bit is from about 20km downstream of Taumaranui, through to Pipiriki. Taumaranui itself down is pretty boring for day 1, as its just farmland, and in Feb will be VERY bony.

Depends how much time you have on your hands.

Take long ropes. Often a solid tie up point for your boat can be a long way from the river bank. And if it pisses down overnight it can easly come up 25 foot in 12 hours. Short rope will simply drown the boat.

Normally lots of goats. Fallow should have risen in numbers too.
