New Zealand Travel Guide
New Zealand accommodation, New Zealand activities and attractions, New Zealand maps, transportation to and around New Zealand - the ALL NEW Jasons New Zealand Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for New Zealand.
Part of New Zealand's River Region, the Manawatu/Wanganui region is the place to indulge in water-based activities, with kayaking, rafting, jetboating, fishing and even bridge swinging.
Palmerston North is the heart of the Manawatu region and a great base for exploring the surrounding areas of
Horowhenua,
Rangitikei and
Tararua, known for their traditional rural landscapes, country towns and outdoor adventures.
Bordering Manuwatu,
Wanganui city lies at the mouth of the Whanganui River, New Zealand’s longest navigable river. Wanganui’s gracious streets and heritage buildings have been restored, and the superb galleries, museums, gardens and lakes provide plenty of things to do. Take a leisurely cruise aboard Wanganui’s historic paddle steamer, the
Waimarie, or head up the Whanganui River on a scenic
jetboat safari. This historic river is steeped in Maori heritage and legend.
