Things to do in Canterbury Region, South Island: The Best Biking Trails

February 2, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

Christchurch, the Garden City, and the Canterbury region are the perfect destination for daredevils. From northern Kaikoura to Waimate in the south, Canterbury is an adventure sports paradise. Hangliding, helibiking, bungee jumping, snowboarding, jetboating, rafting and skydiving get the adrenaline going. Golfing, flightseeing, swimming with dolphins and soaking in thermal pools are more laid-back temptations. Christchurch, a city of parks and gardens, is the country’s third largest urban area.

Rapaki Track

Reviewed By JDA60 - Virginia Beach, United States

There is street parking near the trail head, not much shade (just a little at the beginning), it is not a difficult walk but it can be strenuous as you get close to the summit as it is a bit steep. The views at the top are amazing and well worth the walk. Nice to have such a great track so close to the city.
