Day Trip
Havoc at The Fox $105 per person
Departing Pungarehu daily at 10.30am (20 minutes from Whanganui, travelling by jet boat up the Whanganui River through the lower reaches of the Whanganui National Park.
There are stops along the way to show you features unique to this stretch of the River, and you will enjoy Brents knowledgeable commentary on the River's rich history.
At The Flying Fox, take a stroll around the organic gardens and view the workmanship of the two quaint handmade cottages (used for accommodation).
When the kettle boils, we will gather on the verandah overlooking the Whanganui River, and relax enjoying Havoc coffee with delicious freshly baked muffins.
This is 'River time', and you are invited to take your time.
When it's time to go, we board once again, our boat – Te Wairua o te Awa (The Spirit of the River), and make our way back down the River to Pungarehu Marae.
