Tourist Information About Canterbury

Canterbury has some of the most striking landscapes in the South Island. Aoraki / Mount Cook stands tall above the rest, and people visit to walk through its valleys, see glaciers up close, or take scenic flights. Lake Tekapo is famous for its turquoise water and night skies filled with stars. The Church of the Good Shepherd sits right beside the lake and is a popular photo spot. Christchurch has its own highlights, like the Botanic Gardens, Canterbury Museum, and riverside markets. 

Further out, Akaroa is a charming harbour town with a mix of history and nature. The drive there takes you through hills with wide ocean views. In Kaikōura, you can walk the coastal track and see fur seals resting on the rocks. Arthur’s Pass is another scenic spot with short hikes, waterfalls, and native alpine birds. From peaceful lakes to high mountain passes, the attractions in Canterbury bring together nature, culture, and history in one place.
