Phil and his guides are amazing and work tirelessly to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable trip. Awesome catering/food provided and sharing of local knowledge along the way. Yes it's physical but very do-able paddling along with the river flow. Thanks again Phil, a trip our family will remember for ever.…

This was an awesome trip. I couldn’t rate Phil and Kirsty highly enough. Kirsty is busy behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly and adding in those little touches that make the trip even more special. We had Phil and Earl guiding us on the 3 day trip and they are a wealth of knowledge. They kept us incredibly safe, cooked awesome food and kept us entertained. It was noticeable on the river that Phil and Earl were 5 star guides compared to other tour companies. If you are considering the whanganui river whatever you do make sure you go with a guide and don’t go solo unless you are very experienced on the water. I would highly recommend this experience.…

From the moment we arrived in Ohakune we felt welcomed and this continued for the entire trip. It’s superbly organised to include everything you could ever need for four days. Our guide Simon, a truly delightful Englishman, went above and beyond at every step. His guidance and support cannot be faulted. Thanks to Kirsty for the gourmet food. There was never a chance of going hungry. Simon was a Master Chef supreme. Let’s not forget our van driver who took great care to get us there and back in safety. The whole package is a credit to the organisers. The scenery is amazing, the entertainment fantastic, the journey totally memorable. We definitely recommend using Canoe Safaris for the Whanganui River.…
