小菜君"New Zealand's top water trails - people in the middle of the painting, enjoy the scenery of both sides of the Straits as a hiking paradise New Zealand, the territory is distributed thousands of trails, of which ten are most famous, and the trip to the North Island is the only "water road" in the ten trails. In this "waterway", tourists do not need to use their feet to move forward, you only do a single oar, down the current. Look at the lush on both sides of the bank, the winding path ahead, looking around can be described as people swimming in the middle of the painting. [Play highlights] 1. Canada Canoe experience tour 2. Feel the scenery on both sides of the Straits down the stream 3. Have dinner with friends in the camp 4. Check in famous attractions Bridge to nowhere [Play experience] Whanganui river There are multiple entrances and exits for the trip. According to the travel plan, you can choose the route of 1-6 days. This time we chose a three-day trip, from Whakahoro to Pipiriki, which is also a classic route. Three days and two nights, all bags need to be prepared by yourself, including food, stove, gas and tents. Fortunately, the waterway is not important, and the heavy luggage is not important. On the first day, the starting point of the journey - Whakahoro, everyone is ready to go, basically two people a boat, the boat is Canoe, which is what we often say canoe. Today is the busiest day, the trip is 37 kilometers long. The water was greener that day, and the sides were lush. It was Christmas, and the friends wore Christmas hats and baked out a strong festive atmosphere. If you are tired, you can lie down in the boat and rest, or you can drift down together with a few boats. At the end of the day, we hurried to set up a tent and make dinner, and everyone gathered at the table. HUT administrator also caught a big salmon. The next day, the distance was 20 kilometers, but I had to land halfway to the famous attractions Bride to nowhere and hike for an hour and a half. Arrive at Tieke hut in the evening and stay for the last night. This is a Maori shrine, with a Maori welcome ceremony every day, and if the time is right, you can feel the traditional Maori nose touch. The last day was short, but the water flow was relatively rapid. Everyone passed carefully and safely, arrived at the end smoothly, and the ship company picked us up on time at 2 pm. The water flow was calm and there were fewer reefs. Except for the NONO family of three who lost their water because of the distraction of food, everyone did not turn over the boat and wet themselves. 【Whanganui river Tour Files】Location: Taumaranui to Ohakune coast multiple locations can be used as starting point distance: 134KM or 88KM Suitable season: Spring, summer and autumn [Note] 1.
