Highlights
This adventure lets you experience one of New Zealand’s most accessible underground rivers as well as the dramatic limestone landscape of Castle Hill—available in several flexible tour options. At Cave Stream, your guide leads you through a 594-metre limestone passage shaped by crystal-clear water, small waterfalls, and winding chambers, finishing with a fun 5-metre ladder climb. It’s a memorable, family-friendly caving experience that requires no previous skills. Options that include Castle Hill/Kura Tāwhiti offer the chance to wander an incredible labyrinth of giant limestone boulders, an area rich in cultural history and famous for climbing and film locations. Try some easy bouldering or simply enjoy the scenery. (Lunch is provided only in the options that include it.) Whether you choose caving only, add Castle Hill, or join the full day with transport, you’ll experience one of the South Island’s most unique alpine environments.

About Christchurch
Christchurch is the South Island's largest city, a flat, green city on the Avon River with the Southern Alps and Banks Peninsula close by.
Christchurch was planned by English settlers in 1850 around a central square and the Avon River, which winds through the city past willows and lawns. Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens cover a large green area beside the centre, and punts glide along the river. The Gothic Revival Arts Centre, built for the university, houses studios and cafés, and Canterbury Museum stands beside the gardens.
Top-ranked sights in Christchurch: Lake Pukaki, Lake Tekapo, TranzAlpine Train.
