About

Blazing Adventures, the Fishing club in Taumarunui, is excited to promote a local Fishing event that is sure to thrill all the fishing enthusiasts out there. The event promises to be a fantastic opportunity for players to showcase their skills and have an amazing time on the water.

Taking place on the stunning Whanganui River, this event will allow participants to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings while enjoying their favourite pastime. Known as Te Awa Tupua, the Whanganui River holds a special place in history as it was the first river in the world to be legally granted personhood in 2017. Its serene deep gorges and exciting rapids provide the perfect backdrop for a memorable fishing experience.

Blazing Adventures, renowned for their top-quality equipment and commitment to safety, will ensure that all participants are well-equipped and informed about staying safe during the event. With their knowledgeable guides leading the way, even those with no prior fishing experience can join in on the fun. The Whanganui River is a grade one and two river, suitable for anglers of all ages.

For those who prefer a hassle-free experience, Blazing Adventures offers guided tours as well. The Stargazer tour, a two-day paddle covering 57 km, takes participants from Taumarunui to Whakahoro. Along the way, they'll have the opportunity to explore the Lavender Farm, admire the Ohura Falls, and indulge in some delicious treats at the Blue Duck Cafe. Another exciting option is the Posh Paddle tour, a two-day paddle covering 35 km, starting from Ohinepane or Nukunuku and ending in Whakahoro. This tour offers comfortable glamping accommodation and mouthwatering home-style cooking at Posh Pioneers. Participants can also keep an eye out for wildlife like kiwi, native bats, and glow-worms along the riverbanks.

Blazing Adventures wants to ensure that all participants have a seamless experience, which is why they offer a range of amenities. From a door-to-river transfer shuttle service to secure floodlit vehicle storage, they have thought of everything to make your fishing trip stress-free. And after a day on the water, you can enjoy hot showers at their welcoming base. It is recommended to spend the night before your river trip in Taumarunui to ensure a prompt start.

The Whanganui River holds immense historical significance, serving as the highway for European pioneers and Maori before the area was connected by rail and road. By joining Blazing Adventures for this fishing event, participants will not only be indulging in their favourite sport but also immersing themselves in a rich tapestry of culture and history.

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to be a part of the local Fishing event hosted by Blazing Adventures. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a newbie, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience. So grab your gear, gather your fishing buddies, and get ready to make some memories on the mighty Whanganui River with Blazing Adventures.
