Spoil your Mum on Mother's Day with a cruise aboard the Paddle Steamer Waimarie on the Whanganui River.
Our last cruise for the season leaves the Riverboat Centre Wharf and heads up river taking in the scenery and views of Whanganui which can only be experienced on Te Awa Tupua, the Whanganui River.
Our commentary shares riverboat history and points of interest along the way. Check out the boiler that powers our paddle steamer, and maybe meet our homing pigeons and send a message with them on their flight back to the Riverboat Centre.
Our friendly team are only too happy to answer any questions you may have along the way.
