Wanganui is a coastal city, within easy distance of New Zealand’s famed North Island ski fields. Mt Ruapehu in the Tongariro National Park is the North Island’s highest peak and principal skiing ground.

The views from around the mountain are beautiful. Wanganui offers an impressive array of sporting and recreational facilities and venues. The Whanganui River sweeps through the valley over which the city is spread, and is the longest navigable waterway in the North Island. The river provides facilities for rowing, sailing, canoeing, water skiing and windsurfing. The city also boasts excellent sporting facilities and has an international reputation as being one of the finest sports training regions in the world.

Wanganui is approximately midway between Wellington and New Plymouth. Wellington is 193km away (two and a half hours’ drive). Daily flights are available from Wanganui to both Wellington and Auckland.
