Thread: Whanganui River advice

you COULD do worse than pay to jet boat it first so you know what getting self in for.... go and talk to the folks who do it all the time,hire kayaks out etc... Ive done top bits in yak no issues... rapids wont be prop friendly...but sounds like youve thought about that.
Taumarunui people are good sorts,pretty sure they wont give you a bum steer about how doable things are.take a epirb/plb with you just incase things go pear shaped and let someone know what you doing and time frame...them commercial folks would be ideal to have plans with too....if you dont ring to say you are out safe,50 quid to knob of goat shit ,it will be them who coppers ask to come looking for you.

Rgr advice thanks Mickey Duck. I do have a prop guard I could bolt on. Forgot to mention that in original posting.

For more hunting start at Tangagrakau near Tahora ....
