11 Hours Tourist Information About Canterbury Plains
Canterbury offers many exciting activities that let you enjoy its beautiful outdoors. If you love adventure, skydiving over Christchurch’s coastline with Skydiving Kiwis Ōtautahi is a must-try. You will start with a scenic helicopter ride and then jump for an unforgettable free fall. Another great way to experience nature is by going on a Seal Kayak Tour in Kaikoura. You can pedal your kayak and get close to playful New Zealand fur seals, as well as spot other marine animals like blue penguins and albatrosses.
For a more peaceful activity, golf lovers can visit the Woodlands Course at Harewood, which offers great views and top-notch facilities to practice their game. Hot air balloon rides from Methven give you a chance to float above the stunning Southern Alps and the patchwork plains, enjoying spectacular views from high above.
