Jet Boat Tours
Travelling upstream into the middle reaches of the Whanganui River you will feel as if time has stood still.
Pristine native bush cloaks the banks and you will see deep gorges covered with ferns, caves, rapids and other unique and amazing scenery
The Lodge
The Bridge to Nowhere Lodge is a unique place.
Located deep in the Whanganui National Park wilderness region, we are the only Whanganui River accommodation of this kind in the area.
Perched high above the river and surrounded by native bush the only access is by the lodge's jet boat service, canoe, by foot or helicopter.
Canoeing
Canoeing the Whanganui River
Combine a stay at the lodge and tour
to the Bridge to Nowhere with canoeing the Whanganui River.
The scenery is fantastic and the paddling is classed as easy. We supply canoes, life jackets and paddles
The Mangapurua/Bridge to Nowhere Track
“If you only have the chance to do one adventure ride this year, this is the North Island’s best.
There are several ways to tackle this ride.
We really enjoyed the full round trip.”
Simon, Jonathan and Paul Kennett
Tramping
Both Matemateaonga and Managpurua Tracks start/end close to the Lodge.
From the Matamateaonga track you can walk directly to the Bridge to Nowhere Lodge where you can enjoy a cuppa, hot shower or comfortable bed should you wish to stay.
A short jet boat ride from the Mangapurua Track will get you to the Lodge.
