One of New Zealand's original pioneering timber towns, Raetihi is a gateway to the Whanganui National Park. Founded in 1893, the only access to Raetihi was initially from the sea at Wanganui via river steamer up to Pipiriki. In 1917 the first road from Wanganui to Raetihi, and also the railway, was built.

Raetihi provides easy access to a whole plethora of wilderness experiences. The Whanganui National Park surrounding Pipiriki and The Bridge to Nowhere are just a few of the examples of the spectacular activities that abound from Raetihi.

The Bridge to Nowhere was built for vehicles but has no road to or from it. It can only be reached by jet boat, canoe, kayak or foot. Jet boats are also used to access the Matemateonga track and the Mangawhero and Manganui a te Ao rivers provide great trout fishing and exotic native fauna to be found in the area.
