Havoc at the Fox Tour

Tour Description

Guests at The Flying Fox relaxing and enjoying Havoc coffee with delicious freshly baked muffins This trip is ideal if you don't have all day, or if you don't want to drive too far afield.

We love it!

Departing Pungarehu daily at 10.30am (click here to see our map), 20 minutes from Wanganui, and jet boat up the Whanganui River through the lower reaches of the Whanganui National Park.

Guests at The Flying FoxWe'll make several stops along the way to show you features that are unique to this stretch of the River, and you will enjoy our knowledgeable commentary on the River's rich history.

Once we reach The Flying Fox, take a stroll around the organic gardens and marvel at the workmanship of the two quaint handmade cottages (used for accommodation).

When the kettle boils, we will gather on the verandah overlooking the Whanganui River, and relax enjoying Havoc coffee with delicious freshly baked muffins.

This is 'River time', and you are invited to take your time.

When it's time to go, we board once again, our boat – Te Wairua o te Awa (The Spirit of the River), and make our way back down the River to Pungarehu Marae.

All smiles after Havoc at The Fox!
