Local Area
Christchurch, New Zealand's second largest city located on South Island's eastern coast, is also known as the ‘Garden City’. It has the hundreds of parks, green spaces and Botanic Gardens to thank for that moniker. Despite the devastating earthquakes in 2010 and 2011, the city has managed to bounce back admirably, and its resilience is inspiring. For a truly personalised experience, join one of the guided walking tours that delve beyond the guidebooks. These provide an inside story into Christchurch's history and culture, and major recent events. Don some hardy walking shoes and you’ll go on a journey to learn all about famous landmarks such as the Bridge of Remembrance and the Avon River.
Just an hour from Christchurch is Banks Peninsula, a spectacularly unique landform created by two massive volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. The quaint village of Akaroa should be high up your must-visit list – expect charming French colonial buildings, and boat tours that offer the chance to spot rare wildlife including Hector's dolphins, white-flippered penguins and seals.
