Super helpful in our preparation leading up to our trip on the Whanganui river journey, they prepared us well with gear and information (as well as accommodation the night before the trip- very handy!). Very much appreciated the fact that their location is near the end of the journey, so not a long shuttle back to base! Very friendly staff too! Definitely recommend for Whanganui Journey canoe hire etc.

What an amazing experience, words cannot explain how awesome it was. Its something you have to experience yourself to understand. The staff were really friendly and nice, we had some unfortunate car problems and they went out of their way to help us. Great campsite, the facilities were really good, clean and modern and the atmosphere was positive. Lovely location looking up to the mountain too!!! Thank you!!

Fantastic service from the team at Whanganui River Canoes. Easy to arrange, very clean comfortable accomodation the night before and very good quality gear. Briefings were very useful, if a little long on the day we set off. Lovely welcome back with treats we all appreciated. Would recommend this company to anyone thinking about doing the river journey. While we didn't have kids with us, we were also really impressed with how they looked after nervous kids in other groups, reassuring them before we set off and rewarding them with ice cream sundaes on our return to base.

Very, very good. This family-run business gave us warm, generous and good-humoured service with even home baking thrown in amidst their busiest times. High quality and funny briefings, excellent gear, flexible to our needs. Look no further. We met canoeists who had gone with other companies that had very different experiences! Just saying.

Excellent hire company! My partner and I hired a canoe for 3 days for a freedom tour on the river. We were given a detailed video guide the day before and tips about how to paddle the canoe effectively and safely. Ben and Rebecca were very helpful, informative and accomodating, plus the snacks and drinks upon our return were very welcomed and a nice touch! :)

Wow, what an epic trip we had! The weather was perfect, the river was flowing which meant we got away with minimal paddling for a lot of it, a lot of us had never done any Canoeing like this before. Damien and Ben were such legends having a good laugh with our group of 14 but also ensuring we got key information to make our trip safe. I over packed food and clothes but better to be safe than sorry, didn't take enough sunblock. This is definitely one of the best experiences of my life to date. Definitely want some water shoes and a hat with an adjustable strap if your planning on doing a trip yourself. Get into it you will have a blast!
