The South Island's Garden City is an important stop for many tourists visiting the country.
Its central location and size make it one of the most visited places in New Zealand.
It's not just convenience that draws people to Christchurch though - a wealth of history, heritage buildings, culture, outdoor pursuits and nightlife are all elements of the city and its surroundings.
Beautiful outdoor locations for families, couples and tourists alike exist within and nearby with plenty of opportunities for travellers to experience something new.
Small towns and attractions dot the Canterbury region in places where public transport just doesn't reach; booking a rental car in Christchurch when you arrive at the airport is the best way to make travelling and enjoying your stay easier, with plenty of attractions to visit! 4x4 Adventures Take a guided scenic tour of the Southern Alps, home of Lord of the Rings' Middle Earth and backdrop to a number of blockbuster films.
Beautiful, vibrant colours make up Canterbury's high country and powering through and over some of the rugged landscapes with 4x4 Adventures is an exhilarating, exciting and fresh way of enjoying these unique locations.
Their tours operate on privately owned land, so you won't be following the same path everyone else does.
Get off the beaten track and enjoy the best of Canterbury in the best way possible.
