The Paddle Steamer Waimarie provides a unique river related experience. Our cruises are available over the warmer months (September-May) and include Cruising at 11, themed and private charter cruises by arrangement.
All cruises operate on Te Awa Tupua - Whanganui River onboard our iconic Paddle Steamer Waimarie – New Zealand’s last coal-fired paddle steamer operating from the golden riverboat era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
We offset our our carbon footprint by supporting local tree planting initiatives which primarily relate to the health of local whenua and Te Awa Tupua, the Whanganui River for the betterment of our future.
