Great service and canoes from whanaganui river canoes. We had comments from other paddlers on the river at how well the canoes were set up compared to the ones they had hired from another company like having straps attached to the canoes make it way easier loading and unloading every time compared to the bits of rope they were given to tie their barrels in that they had to tie and untie every time. Great all around.

We had booked 3 days on the river, but unusually heavy rainfall had prevented us from embarking on our trip on the first day. As it was not possible to postpone it, the staff were very helpful and flexible in sorting us out a 2 day trip, whereby we got picked up by a jet boat halfway along. As we lost our bookings in the DOC huts, the staff lended us tents and inflatable mattresses free of charge to stay at the campsites instead. Despite the stress they were under from over 2 weeks of lost business caused by the high water levels, they acted very friendly and professional in arranging an alternative trip format for us. We had a great time on the river, they got us back to the campsite at the end with no delays.
