Whale watching, swimming with dolphins, soaking in hot pools, bungy jumping, jet boat rides, river rafting, helicopter flights, quad bike rides, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding will reward your appetite for adventure.  

Indulgence and relaxation combine with action attractions to make this North Canterbury region a place of year round appeal for everyone. Tee off at one of our seven picturesque country golf courses, savour award-winning wines and cuisine on the North Canterbury Food and Wine Trail and in the eclectic cafes, soak in thermal hot springs at Hanmer Springs, marvel at the vibrant country gardens and uncover fascinating history and heritage.  

Amble along coastal walkways or through shady forests, hike over mountain tracks, fish for trout and salmon in the lakes and rivers or saddle up for a horse trek through the Canterbury high country.  

To enjoy it all, please stay awhile, in accommodation of your choice, and experience the genuine country hospitality for which the Alpine Pacific Triangle region is well known.
