About Us

For more than seven years Adventure Canterbury has had an enviable reputation for delivering the very best of the region and beyond to international and national visitors.

The Company was founded in 1995.  From small beginnings operating a single passenger Hamilton Jetboat on the local and famous Waimakariri River, Farm Tours and Horse Trekking on local farms, Adventure Canterbury has now established itself as the leading day tour adventure and coach operator in the Christchurch and Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand.

What makes Adventure Canterbury unique?

The company does not "subcontract" out tour services, activities, and attractions.

All coaches, plant, and equipment is modern and of high quality, and is owned, not leased or hired in.

Conference and tour organizers, corporates, booking agents, individuals, families, and education providers have long recognized the benefits of working alongside a company which takes pride in being able to structure packages specifically for their needs be they the very best in adventure and excitement incorporating helicopters, jetboats and rafting, or excursions to the South Island's most popular attractions … from whale watching in Kaikoura to the sheer splendour of Mount Cook.

Adventure Canterbury's local knowledge comes from being based firmly in the heart of its area of operation. It is passionate about making that local knowledge work for its clients by offering them the widest possible choice of options resulting in a unique and exciting experience that even the most traveled find irresistible.

"We look forward to talking to you about how Adventure Canterbury can become part of your planning for your vacation or business break in the near future".
