The Wanganui region is on the lower west coast of the North Island, south of Taranaki and the Taupo/Ruapehu regions, based around the Whanganui River.

Except for the rolling coastal lowlands around Wanganui, the hinterland is very rugged and there are only two winding roads following river valleys up to the volcanic plateau. A large part of the hill country is included in the Whanganui National Park, through which flows the historic Whanganui River, New Zealand's longest navigable waterway. The river was an important means of access for pre-European Maori, European settlers, and for intrepid tourists heading for the central North Island.

Main Attractions/Activities
Modern-day visitors can travel up the Whanganui River by jetboat or riverboat into the heart of the Whanganui National Park, or canoe downstream over gentle rapids.

There are historic tribal villages along the way, where Maori welcome visitors who want to experience their unique lifestyle and cultural traditions. There's a wonderful scenic daily mail bus trip up the river road to Pipiriki.

Wanganui's Old Town Heritage Walk showcases a typical colonial New Zealand town.
