Another day of doing us on the river (awa) and what we love most Ken Haworth.
Sharing our stories and history of the river (awa) and our familys growing up which is irreplaceable with respect of the river at heart always.
Respecting it's nature and the joy it has always brought us and our familys and those ones that have gone but not forgotten.
The river always looks after us and we will always look after it and respect it as we always have.
Precious moments!

Scenic Tours with history and personalised stories of growing up on the river with Whanganui River Adventures owners - Ken and Josephine Haworth and local staff come with a lifetime experience from operating our business in our Pipiriki Primary School setting up our Campinground and Cabins (sleeping 14 with 4 powered sites & 9 unpowered/tentsites) providing all of the facilities at our Campground surrounded by native bush for all who stay here to enjoy.
We also provide food options if you want to relieve yourselves from Cooking for a night or enjoy the cooking/lounge & dining facilities in our Campers Room.
We pride ourselves on cleanliness, rural feel and presentation.

Come join us on a personalised Jetboat tour on the river.
Find out about the pre-european history and cultural history we've grown up with with teachings from our parents who never left the river along with our families who have passed and more importantly the story of The Bridge to Nowhere.

You can combine a 2 hour Canoe option (minimum numbers - 2 persons, 1 person needs to join our tours with others already booked doing the canoe options) to the tour to The Bridge to Nowhere (Onedayer Adventure) or stay Overnight on the river at an extra cost or just do our day Canoe Hire and enjoy connecting with the river and nature.
Ask about other options we offer including the Jetboat transfers from The Matemateaonga Walkway or Mangapurua Landing by Mountain Bike.
Minimum numbers apply if you are not joining on to one of our tours.

We look forward to welcoming you to our home.
