We have used Blazing Paddles for GOOT Trips and have been really impressed with their service. GOOT Passport holders get 10% OFF *(outside of the main holiday weekends or between Christmas and New Year).
Mark and Judith Ebrey provide quality gear along with friendly and knowledgeable advice about what to expect on the river. Plus we just love their name! "Blazing Paddles" becomes a common theme on the river.
A Whanganui River canoe trip is the perfect way to see this beautiful river and is recommended for people of all experience levels. Trips can range from one day trips to the five day expedition from Taumarunui to Pipiriki.
Some prefer the two day paddle to Whakahoro to make the most of the exciting rapids on the upper reaches, while others put in at Ohinepane for the popular four day trip through the river gorges. This trip is a real journey through some untouched NZ wilderness. Do it!
