The journey moves downstream and ends at P\u012bp\u012briki. These are the typical starting points you can choose:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whakahoro to Pipiriki (easy, 87km, around 3 days): A great option for beginner paddlers. You have more time to familiarize yourself with controlling the canoe before entering any rapids. Also, you will start in the most beautiful and scenic part of the river, so no worries about missing out the scenery from upstream.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ohinepane To Pipiriki (intermediate, 123km, around 4 days): Suitable for paddlers who have had some experience and want to see more of the river. You will start in a shallower and faster section of the river. Moreover, you will cross rapids on your first day, before reaching the calmer section at Whakahoro.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taumarunui (Cherry Grove) to Pipiriki (hard, 145km, around 5 days): Recommended for experienced paddlers who can paddle around obstacles confidently. This is the full stretch of the Whanganui Journey and it starts at the shallower and faster section of the river.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a one-way journey down the river. So, unless you own a canoe\/kayak, and have someone to drop off or pick you up from the river points, hiring a canoe with shuttle bus service is a no-brainer.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8b859a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8b859a4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a4658ff\" data-id=\"a4658ff\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18279c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"18279c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Whanganui Journey River Canoe Rental &amp; Shuttle Service<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-7cd0d95 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7cd0d95\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0efd430\" data-id=\"0efd430\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a19adc5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"a19adc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"width:100%;height:auto;text-align:center;\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height:auto;border:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/ABLVV857DIYz3VvHmDh61JOvZwQu9mTSD3F6cmyzHAdtcAZYL6nPV7K115ESmYDIRuaRXhTGOTvOXk6l2bjj27tw6sJj_ZRiZVBYh6xAxzgMIxb3K_ScehjF=h480\" alt=\"Personal Locator Beacon rental\"\/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-754bf8e\" data-id=\"754bf8e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56577b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56577b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best service provider I found is the local family-owned\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whanganuirivercanoes.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whanganui River Canoes<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

However, you will only encounter that 50\/50 rapid on the last day, at the very last section before you dock at the ending point.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The technique for rapid maneuver is to steer into the middle of the \u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0245<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 shape whitewater flow (so the canoe doesn\u2019t get pushed by the current from the side), try to paddle faster than the river flow (so the canoe doesn\u2019t get turned around by the water pushing from behind), while keeping the canoe as straight as possible.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20559d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"20559d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sacred Tamatea\u2019s Cave<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-eae6d2b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eae6d2b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ce341e\" data-id=\"6ce341e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04c62b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"04c62b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"width:100%;height:auto;text-align:center;\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height:auto;border:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/ABLVV84epOBO0ofi2DHaEWyNbZizCa9pgFkyTjg2cHxg8NIN32OnJpHgTQpV9JvBGCLiRyikkdviv5sIh5SGUpooGmRb_iKtEvVvaxU41wqnITWHA_FJF4WS=h480\" alt=\"Whanganui Journey Tamatea Cave\"\/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fcdd17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8fcdd17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.07pm: After passing the Tarepokiore (whirlpool) rapid, you will find a large overhang known as Tamatea\u2019s Cave, named after a Maori explorer.

The lands around here were offered to soldiers who returned from WWI, under the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Act 1915. From 1917, veteran settlers took up land here on the promises of roads and access. There were around 40 families at the height of settlement, building new lives in the Mangapurua Valley. However, the land itself proved to be rugged and isolated. In 1942, there were only three families left. With nature working against these grand plans, everyone had gone by 1944, walking off from the valley empty-handed, penniless, some after over 20 years of back-breaking toil.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c98c972 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c98c972\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-adf8a5a\" data-id=\"adf8a5a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35d2a4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"35d2a4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"width:100%;height:auto;text-align:center;\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height:auto;border:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/ABLVV8701IVpsF1Hzl2CP_elskn2Ei9X8YkT0W-xAiLqimLgWuhPuxi-4juBRaPHpJHqe751orPfoHlXnB_truhIfKxUgc28QUofPfI_iDwurAvy8xYrjaV9=h480\" \/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68821f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"68821f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the story of the bridge: The early settlers had to cross the Mangapurua Stream by scrambling down and up the gorge walls. First a wire cage, then a suspension bridge, were built to improve accessibility, but fell into disrepair. In accordance with this, plans were established to build a dray bridge. <\/span><b>Engineers discussed the type of bridge suitable for the area, but no one questioned the need for a bridge at all.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The construction of this ferro-concrete style bridge used 105 cubic meters of concrete and 15 tons of steel. With near-impossible access to the site, cartage expenditure was nearly equalled the cost of construction. Although impressed with the bridge, settlers presumed it was to advance the long-promised road access, they themselves had little use for the bridge by the time it was finally constructed.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ac567c6\" data-id=\"ac567c6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0ba865 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"b0ba865\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"width:100%;height:auto;text-align:center;\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height:auto;border:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/ABLVV84DqSSKYG04E0tCtPFnyr1RCVBztaRamFMzwSq9swKoLh7pSc0GqJNC0ybnFaV2MVu-PtamJ6GzHvH1keE6rDyfGAdTaLAe0PTAX2ru9MPKHhrYnsI2=h480\" alt=\"Giant eels in Mangapura Stream\"\/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97d8946 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97d8946\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below the bridge is the Mangapurua Stream.
