Canterbury Activities

The Canterbury region offers memorable views of ocean and mountains. The impressive Aoraki Mount Cook represents not only the highest point of the region but also the highest summit of New Zealand. Canterbury activities offer great possibilities for whale watching as well as for once in a lifetime experience to view dolphins and seals off the coast of Kaikoura. In Christchurch and Timaru, the two cities of the region, it is still possible to marvel at Canterbury's colonial heritage.
