Owhango Adventures

Great long weekend courtesy of Grant, Willi and Pat at whango adventures. We had a large group and they were extremely hospitable and went above and beyond to make sure we were all set up for our trip. Highly recommend

I went on the Owhango Adventures 3 days Whanganui River crossing with a group of 21 people. On the day, we were delayed due to the river level being too high. The team were so great and let us stay another night with no additional charge and proceeded to drive our group around Taumaranui to ensure we had a good time. The hotel is a little rough around the edges but has great character and comfy beds. The next day we were off on the river and got picked up in the big van. We were accidentally too slow on the last day, and left the bloke picking us waiting for a few hours. (So sorry Pat). Despite this, he was just so happy we were having a great time. Thanks Owhango Adventures. I will be recommending you guys and the Whanganui River to everyone I see!

We arrived on a rainy Friday night to 5 star accomodation and boy we know we were in for a treat. Although the weather set us back by one day, it didnt set back any of our plans in the slightest. Grant and Willy had our best interests in mind delaying the trip (definitely a good call when we got onto the river we soon realised it was a no brainer). With a change of plans, Grant sorted us out with some great last minute accommodation, and who wouldve thought we could be upgraded from the night before. We set sail on Sunday, Owhanga adventures set us up with canoes, barrels (for our belongings), life jackets and a safety briefing to send us on our way. Communication was excellent, but the chat and hospitality was even better. Even if you travel to the lovely Owhanga to discover your trip is cancelled, it will be well worth your while just to get to meet the dream team; Willy, Pat, Grant and the rest of the Owhanga crew. We will be back and we wont be using any other company as it is impossible to find a better warm and welcoming experience. From Gabriel

Top 4 day canoe adventure on the Whanganui. Grant and Willie excellent. Guided definitely recommended and made the trip one of those life experiences, no exageration.

Thanks to the team for a great trip! Everything went smoothly and the company had a very relaxed vibe which made it feel more personal and less commercial like other tours in NZ.
