A two-hour drive from the port brings you to the quaint alpine village of Hanmer Springs — a resort town in the North Canterbury region.
Take a narrated drive through the Waipara wine region, one of the country's fastest-growing wine regions, before heading through the Huruinui district and into Hanmer Springs.
Enjoy time at the extremely popular Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa, with its mineral-rich waters. There are hot pools, a children's area and, for thrillseekers, the super bowl or hydroslide experiences. The town boasts a great selection of shops, mountain bike hire (at your own expense), and short forest walks.
Return to Lyttelton via Christchurch for a brief panoramic drive through the city to see the rebuild that is taking place since the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
Notes:
Travel time to Hanmer Springs is approximately 2 hours each way. If you wish to swim in the hot pools, bring your swimsuit, a towel, biodegradable sunscreen, a cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Lunch is on your own. Participants must be able to climb a few steps unassisted to board the transportation. Minimum age of 5 to participate. This tour does not include drop-off in Christchurch City Center.
