Waimakairiri offers a wide range North Canterbury activities just minutes north of Christchurch. Enjoy thrilling river activities with 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, garden tours, horse riding, cooking schools, river cruising, playing golf, biking, fishing, walking and hiking, speedway, heritage museums, markets, and of course great shopping.
