Mid Canterbury Spin and Soak Tour
A brand new tour unlike any others. The Mid Canterbury Spin and Soak Tour is a special day tour from Christchurch with a little bit of everything. The tour departs from Christchurch City heading to the Rakaia Gorge for a 45 minute jet boat ride with Discovery Jet. Take in the majestic limestone cliffs towering above this unique braided glacial-fed river. Throw a few spins in there for a bit of fun...why not? After the thrills of the jet boating it is time for you to kick back and relax. We head to the town of Methven and the beautiful Opuke Hot Pools and Spa. Lunch is included with your booking and is available at Opuke after your pool session. Before returning to Christchurch we will take you to the iconic Blue Pub in Methven for a drink on us.
