| Designated by local councils as the Alpine Pacific Triangle, a vast area between Hanmer Springs, Amberley, and Kaikoura supports a very diverse range of activities evolving around this wonderful landscape, from thrilling to active to simply relaxing. Handgliding, bungy jumping, skiing and snowboarding, jetboating, white water rafting, skydiving, mountain climbing, paragliding, heli-biking, and 4 wheel offroading are just some of the thrilling activities. For something active but less extreme, golfing, fishing, whale watching, flight seeing, swimming with the dolphins, horse-treking, kayaking, and canoeing are readily available. Maybe something more relaxing is preferred like, punting down the river, star gazing, hot-air ballooning, wildlife cruising, wining, dining, eco-touring, soaking in the thermal pools, or soaking up the Maori Culture. The Canterbury Region offers it all. |
