Activities in & around Christchurch, New Zealand:

Christchurch abounds with many fine holidaying choices whether it be a gondola trip to experience 360 degree views of the city, pacific ocean, mountains and Canterbury Plains or a special visit to our world famous Antarctic Centre which is an icon attraction for our visitors. A must see.

Relax and swim close by at our safe harbour beaches or experience the vast distances of great surfing beaches in Pegasus Bay, or perhaps just take a leisurely punt ride down the Avon River and experience our city centre.

Lets not forget some beautiful day trips to Kaikoura to see close by the whales and dolphins. Seafood dining is something special. Hanmer offers one of the nicest hot thermal pool areas around and can be visited all year round. A visit to Akaroa harbour on the Peninsular is one of our best kept secrets.
