Three Day
Easy Adventure in Christchurch and Canterbury
The South Island's spectacular landscapes and exhilarating experiences are right on Christchurch's doorstep. Explore the vibrant city, take in the mountains, water and wildlife, then soak up the relaxation.
Day 1
Arrive in Christchurch and be greeted by a unique airport transfer with a beautifully restored 1960's London Double Decker Bus taking your group into town or take the scenic route around the city to get your bearings and visit The Arts Centre or the Art Gallery where they can arrange a behind-the-scenes tour with the curators for your group.
For an afternoon thrill and just 20 minutes from the city, take a scenic jet boat ride with Alpine Jet Thrills along the spectacular Waimakariri River - one of the South Island's largest unique braided river systems.
Enjoy some free time early evening for some city exploration, then experience pre-dinner cocktails at one of Christchurch's rooftop bars or have a private cocktail making class at Kong, a 1930s speak-easy style cocktail lounge.
Day 2
Take in the stunning scenery across the Canterbury Plains and Southern Alps in a private carriage of the TranzAlpine train, ranked as one of the top 10 rail journeys in the world by National Geographic.
Combine this incredible journey with a delicious high-country lunch in Arthur's Pass and coach or helicopter in style, back to the city.
Day 3
For the early risers, catch the sunrise on a hot air balloon with Ballooning Canterbury that will take your breath away. Once back on land, head to the paddocks for breakfast in the field - paddock-to-plate style.
Travel to the alpine village of Hanmer Springs for an ultimate outdoor adventure with jet boating, quad biking, clay bird shooting, bungy jumping, rafting and more. Unwind with a soak in the famous thermal pools or be pampered with a body massage at the award-winning spa in the village before being helicoptered back to the city.
