Create your own unforgettable journey down New Zealand's iconic Whanganui River. Under new management since mid 2018 we pride ourselves on offering personalised service and have recently replaced all of our canoe equipment to provide you with the newest gear for your adventure. Located in Taumarunui, Blazing Paddles offer single or multi-day Canoe and Kayak adventures as well as Jet Boat tours and Fly Fishing tours on the Whanganui River. Ranging from several hours to several days, experience the exhilaration of the rapids and the stillness of mirror pools as you paddle through the stunning scenery of the Whanganui River National Park. Why not try one of our jet boat tours with multiple options from a 2 hour trip to an all day adventure. We have accommodation on site, car shuttle services to help you get to your next destination as fast as possible and we can cater for large groups. The Blazing Paddles team are committed to giving you the best Whanganui River experience.
