There's so much more to Taumarunui than first meets the eye, and Kara Matheson, General Manager at Forgotten World Adventures is keen to reveal the best bits.

I may be biased but I truly believe our amazing team at Forgotten World Adventures make Taumaranui a great place to visit. They love what they do and it always shows. The incredible landscapes and history take some beating, too. We're in the middle of nowhere - but at the centre of everything if you're keen to explore the region.
As well as Forgotten World Adventures, I'd recommend visitors kayak down the Whanganui River. It's New Zealand's longest navigable river and it's not every day you get to say you've rowed the first river in the world to be granted legal personhood.
