High Country Explorer


Embrace your spirit of adventure on an exhilarating tour into the Southern Alps high country using three different modes of transport, a custom built touring vehicle, jet boat and coach. Take an in-depth look at areas that even locals seldom see. Watch the landscape change across the Canterbury Plains, the Waimakariri River, to the foothills of the majestic Southern Alps and Rubicon Station. Discover Rubicon on the banks of the spectacular Waimakariri river gorge and Mt Torlesse. Drive around acres of rugged high country, framed by the Southern Alps jagged peaks and river gorges. Get an entirely different view of the magnificent high country on a lighting fast jet boat ride. Zip up the Waimakariri River and the steep-walled gorge to Stair Case Viaduct. Experience the thrill of skimming over water, at times only inches deep while feeling safe and secure. Special Notes: Please wear comfortable flat-soled shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, a hat and jacket, plenty of biodegradable sunscreen and bring bottled water. Tour is not recommended for guests with mobility concerns, back or neck problems or pregnant women. The tour may operate in reverse order.
