Recently did a 3 day canoe down the Whanganui river. Highly recommend if you love a bit of untouched NZ nature goodness and aren’t afraid of paddling for 88kms.

Key learnings; pack only essentials (one set wet clothes for canoeing/swimming, and one dry set for night), pack sustaining foods that don’t weigh much, water shoes rule, pack as much beer as you can carry (considering towing a beer-canoe next time) ;)

There once was a river majestical,
The pride of our runnels domestical!
Are there finer courses?
My answer, of course, is:
There aren't, I would bet my left testicle

Awesome! Most of that video is not the Whanganui though right? Looks like you're paddling down a tributary towards it.

Correct, good spotting. It looked so amazing we had to go investigate.
