Top Nature in Whanganui

I recommend checking the weather forecast before you go; it can change rapidly. A sunny morning turned into a snowy afternoon on my trip, so be prepared for anything!

I think you should definitely check out the bird life early in the morning, around 8 AM. That's when I saw the most activity, and it’s really peaceful then too!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. There's a lot of walking trails, and some of them can be steeper than you might expect. I wish I had known that beforehand!

If you're planning to hike, I suggest doing the Whanganui River Road walk. It's stunning, but don't forget your sturdy shoes. I wore flip-flops and regretted it halfway through the trail. Trust me, comfort is key

I think you should definitely pack a picnic. There are plenty of spots to chill out, and it save you some cash instead of grabbing food on the go. I wish I'd done this
