Community Good

Our community good work is how we give back to our host communities to help ensure we are positively contributing to our people and place for a better future.

We are committed to supporting the Whanganui community. We do this through supporting and enabling schools to have experiential learning trips on board the Paddle Steamer Waimarie, providing complementary family passes for community fundraising efforts, and supporting projects that directly relate to the health of the awa (River) or local Whenua (land) 

If you are looking for support for your fundraising or community project, fill out this FORM and we will get back to you.

Sponsor a Spot

Give the gift of experiential learning.

We believe in fostering educational experiences that extend beyond the classroom walls. That's why we've introduced our Sponsor a Spot gifting option, you can help us give the gift of and educational excursion on PS Waimarie to our local young people. These trips offer a unique blend of history, culture, and hands-on learning opportunities, allowing students to delve into part of our local maritime heritage and riverboat history while gaining valuable insights into navigation, engineering, and environmental science. 

By sponsoring a spot, individuals and organizations can directly contribute to enriching the educational journey of young minds, ensuring that every young person has the chance to explore, learn, and create unforgettable memories aboard the Waimarie. 

By purchasing a $25 Sponsor a Spot gift voucher, you're not only giving the gift of experiential learning but also directly contributing towards ensuring that students have the opportunity to explore, learn, and create lasting memories aboard this iconic vessel. Join us in empowering the next generation's educational journey, one paddle at a time.
