Christchurch Adventure Day Tours

Christchurch city is alive with atmosphere and world-class attractions. It is also a great jump off for adventure activies in nearby locations like Akaroa, Kaikoura, and Methven. Go sea kayaking at Littleton or visit Castle Hill and explore Cave Stream. Visit Port Hills and the Crag for a day out rock climbing and abseiling.

Are you loking for the thrill and exhilaration of skydiving, then Christchurch has the only place in New Zealand and one of the few places in the world, where you can skydive from a Helicopter.

About 1 hour and 20 minutes away from Christchurch lies the historic town of Akaroa where you can find the rare and endangered Hector’s Dolphins. Akaroa is famous for dolphin watching or swimming activities. You can also drive north towards Kaikoura, about 2.5 hours away, where you can also swim with dolphins.

For those looking for a place to go white water rafting, a 2-hour drive from Christchurch takes you to Rangitata River. Your rafting trip starts at the foot of the magnificent Southern Alps where you prepare to face some of the most exhilirating white water rapids in the country. A truly unforgettable rafting trip that even families can enjoy. You also have an option to join a Rangitata River rafting trip from Christchurch, if you prefer not to drive. 

Taking a balloon flight from Methven, situated on New Zealand's Canterbury Plains, is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular experiences. Our launch point is nestled near the foothills of Mt. Hutt, benefiting from the mountains' natural barrier against the dominant North Westerly breezes. With the freedom to ascend up to 9,500 ft, we're graced with breathtaking views that stretch across the Southern Alps, reaching landmarks like Mt. Cook and Mt. Aspiring, and extending eastward over the mosaic-like plains, all the way to the Pacific coast.
