38 days in Christchurch Itinerary

Recovering from the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 was no easy task, but Christchurch has faced the challenges with aplomb.

Venture out of the city with trips to Little River Gallery (in Little River), Akaroa (Swim with Dolphins, Dolphin & Whale Watching, &more) and Geraldine (Geraldine Observatory, Geraldine Vintage Car and Machinery Museum, &more). The adventure continues: get engrossed in the history at Canterbury Museum, have some family-friendly fun at Velocity Karts, walk around Hagley Park, and take in panoramic vistas at Christchurch Gondola.
