The Whanganui Journey is a popular attraction in the area, and Whanganui Tours offers support for those looking to experience it. The land around the Whanganui River Journey is remote and rugged. Beginning just out of Taumuranui, visitors will soon experience steep-sided forested valleys that stretch as far as the eye can see. As visitors wind their way down the Whanganui River, the land rises steeply on all sides, providing the sensation of being cradled deep in the heart of the forest. Visitors will sleep in Poukaria Campsite, where they'll be able to look and listen for kereru, tui, and fantail.

They work with locals across the valleys and bring their knowledge borne of their whakapapa to the area and bountiful manaakitanga to share.
