Manawatu-Whanganui sits on New Zealand's lower North Island, with a mild climate that makes summers perfect for jet boating on the Whanganui River and winters ideal for exploring the historic art galleries of Whanganui city. The region is famous for the 145-kilometer Whanganui River Journey, a multi-day canoe trip through remote gorges, and the Mountains to Sea cycle trail that winds from volcanic plateaus to the Tasman Sea. During summer (75-85°F / 24-29°C), you can hike the Bridge to Nowhere or kayak past 19th-century Māori rock art, while winter (50-60°F / 10-15°C) brings cheaper stays and a chance to tour the Sarjeant Gallery's contemporary exhibits without crowds.
