Koriniti (Koroniti) is a settlement upriver from Whanganui, New Zealand. *The Whanganui River was the first waterway in the world to be granted legal personhood, meaning the river has the same rights and responsibilities as a person. The longest navigable river in New Zealand, it traverses over 200km of countryside in its winding journey through the Whanganui National Park to eventually meet the Tasman Sea. The stretch of river between Taumarunui and Pipiriki is the only river journey that is part of the New Zealand Great Walks system. Known as the Whanganui Journey, the full trip takes around five days. (*source: Visit Ruapehu)
