Owhango Adventures

Owhango Adventures operates on the Whanganui River, offering guided canoe journeys, self-guided canoe and kayak hire, and Canadian canoe hire for groups. The business is DOC-licensed and run by guides with cultural knowledge of the river. They serve the Whanganui River Journey, a Great Walk, and also support trampers accessing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and Te Araroa Trail.

Guided trips range from one-day paddles to multi-day journeys suited to first-time paddlers, families, large groups, company retreats and team-building events. Self-guided options allow experienced paddlers to explore the river independently with quality gear. Canoe trips include camping on the river.

The business provides shuttle services to and from the river, with drop-off and pick-up included in canoe trip packages. They also offer accommodation in the area, including free accommodation the night before river trips, and provide stay-and-transport packages for those accessing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

Owhango Adventures is based in the central Ruapehu region on the banks of the Whanganui River. Customers book directly through their website and communicate with the team about trip planning and logistics.
