About Whanganui River Dories Whanganui River Dories is a part of River Valley Ventures Ltd. Since 1982, family owned and Taihape based adventure company, River Valley, has been offering trips on the rivers of the central North Island of New Zealand. Based from River Valley Lodge, the company offers raft and inflatable kayak adventures on the Rangitikei and Ngaru- roro Rivers, and through Whanganui River Dories, dory trips on the Whanganui River through the Whanganui National Park. We offer river trips that vary in duration from 1/2 day to 6 days. Part of the experiences River Valley also offers are horse treks with River Valley Stables. These treks, from a half day out to 7 days, explore central North Island high country. A point of difference for River Valley Stables is the emphasis on a learning experience using Natural Horse Training as well as the ride itself. River Valley is a company that is also heavily involved in “giving back.” We do this through our Stoat trapping program that is centred around the Rangitikei River at Pukeokahu near Taihape. The aim of this program is to protect and grow the threat- ened native bird population. Thanks for choosing River Valley for your trip. We look forward to being on the river with you.

    C H a P T E R XXI AFTER an Early Start Next Morning, We Reached A

    CHAPTER XXI THE WHANGANUI AND THE KING COUNTRY (continued). AFTER an early start next morning, we reached a rapid called Tarepokiore, which is by far the worst on the Whanganui river. It is formed by a large landslip which fell right into the river, diminishing it to less than half its proper size. We got out of the canoes, and took out our luggage in case of an upset, and carried it over the landslip to quiet water. Then the natives stripped, and set to work to drag the canoe up. Patu, our herculean helmsman, calmly smoking a pipe, then got into the canoe and was pushed out into the breakers, a long and strong tow-rope having been fastened to the bow of the canoe. After half a huge tree that was lying in the water had been sawn off to make room for the tow-rope, the rough water was passed, but there was a fall of about two feet to get the canoe over, the water running about seven or eight miles 266 ROUND ABOUT NEW ZEALAND. an hour. All hands hung on to the tow-rope, for on it depended the safety of the canoe; had the bow turned ever so little broadside to the waves all our strength would not have saved it, but, with Patu's help, we managed to keep her head straight and pull her through, though it took over an hour to make twenty yards. The natives called the land all the bad names they could think of for tumbling down, as before the slip it was quite an easy reach.
