Waimakairiri offers a wide range activities just minutes north of Christchurch. Enjoy the thrill of a jet boat ride through the Waimakariri Gorge or the lower reaches of the Waimakariri River, or try river cruising on the Kaiapoi River - some of the district's most popular tourist attractions. Getting involved in the activities is what the Waimakariri District is all about..... jet boating, touring gardens, horse trekking, cooking schools, river cruising, playing golf, biking, fishing, speedway, heritage museums, a boutique movie theatre and of course great shopping.
