Bridge to Nowhere Tours

Your Link to the Bridge to Nowhere Experience

For decades, the Whanganui River has been home to Bridge to Nowhere Tours, a proudly family-run business known for its trademark yellow jet boats and deep local knowledge. Operated by a new generation and the same family as Mountain Bike Station, they bring generations of experience, hospitality, and connection to this remote and iconic part of Aotearoa.  (And they have family connections to behind the Bridge to Nowhere Lodge)

Based in Raetihi and Pipiriki, the team offers regular jet boat tours, bike pick-ups, and group or individual transfers from the Mangapurua Landing—making them an essential partner for riders and walkers completing the Mangapurua/Bridge to Nowhere section of the Mountains to Sea – Ngā Ara Tūhono Great Ride.

Perfect for Te Araroa walkers, bikepackers completing the Tour Aotearoa, or anyone crafting their own (or letting the team craft) an unforgettable adventure along the Mountains to Sea journey. And if you’re not riding or walking, their day trip from Pipiriki to the Bridge to Nowhere is one of the most memorable ways to explore the Whanganui River and its history.

Look out for the distinctive yellow jet boats—a sure sign you’re travelling with locals who know the river better than anyone.
