The Whanganui Journey is a multi-day canoe or kayak trip on New Zealand's Whanganui River, usually spanning three to five days and covering around 145 kilometers from Taumarunui to Pipiriki. Travelers paddle through native forest, steep gorges, and past waterfalls, while encountering Maori cultural sites and historical remnants along the way. The river gained legal personhood in 2017, recognizing its importance to local iwi.
