Manawatu-Wanganui

A region of wide-open plains, wild rivers, and deep heritage, Manawatū–Whanganui is where rural heartland meets untamed adventure. Discover Whanganui’s art-filled river city, paddle the historic Whanganui River by canoe, or explore the dramatic landscapes of Tongariro National Park. From rolling farmland to alpine peaks, this is a place that celebrates both nature’s power and the warmth of small-town New Zealand.
