My son and I had a fabulous time with "Wild Journeys" in December.
Anna and her family were superb hosts and looked after us very well. The accommodation was clean and very comfortable ( With a great shower). We spent a day on the Wanganui River and paddled 27 Kms before being picked up at the nominated spot and time and whizzed home in the family jet boat. I highly recommend this as a beginners option to exploring the river for people who are not that fussed on camping or carrying in all their gear. The next day we were jet boated down the river again and walked in to look at "The Bridge to Nowhere". Again, a great way to do it, especially if you don't have the time to spend 3 days on the river paddling to it. ( and well worth seeing) The highlight of the trip for my son though was the goat hunt at the end, and he has the photo to prove the hunt was successful! Absolutely stunning spot on the river with lots to do and very obliging hosts.
