This is a superb, brand new tour, for a great escape from Christchurch for a day. Our pickup location is in front of the Novotel Hotel Cathedral Square in Central Christchurch or we can pickup from Sudima Christchurch Airport for those staying in that part of the city. You will need to make your own way to these pickup locations. We meet at 0835 for an 0845 departure. We will return by 1730 at the latest. We depart Christchurch heading west towards the Rakaia Gorge, here you will enjoy a 45 minute jet boat ride alongside the stunning limestone cliffs and up and down this glacial-fed braided river. Throw in a few spins along the way for a bit of fun...why not? After jet boating we will take a short drive to the town of Methven where we will enjoy a group lunch at the iconic Blue Pub. Lunch is included in the package (drinks additional and can be paid for direct). Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements when you make your booking. After a delicious pub lunch we will take you across the road for the most relaxing 2 hours in the Tranquility Pools at the Opuke Hot Pools. One drink is included at Opuke.

Important Information

• Unfortunately this tour is not suitable for most cruise ship passengers as we cannot guarantee we will have you back at the port in time for the ship departure. We can take bookings on a case by case basis for cruise liners with a late departure time. We are weather dependent for this tour. If the Rakaia River is too high after significant rainfall the jet boat may not operate.
