Canterbury Helijet Adventure Safari – Waimakariri River

Lift off from our Christchurch base, heading west toward the dramatic
Southern Alps. Flying over the shimmering braided shallows of the mighty
Waimakariri River, following the river’s winding path into the spectacular
Waimakariri Gorge.  Towering cliff faces
rise sharply on either side, and waterfalls tumble from ancient rock walls to
meet the turquoise waters below.

Touch down at the Helijet Adventure Park base, where your jet boat awaits.

Then it’s time to ignite the adrenaline.

Skim at high speed across crystal-clear alpine waters, power through
narrow canyon corridors, and experience exhilarating Hamilton turns that send
fans of spray across the river’s surface. Feel the raw energy of the river as
Your expert driver navigates tight braids and sweeping bends beneath the rugged
peaks of the Southern Alps. Beanies, gloves, and heated handrails make this an all-year-round activity 

This 30-minute jet boat adventure safari blends heart-racing excitement with
breathtaking alpine scenery,  a sensory
experience as much as an adrenaline rush.

After exploring deep into the canyon country near Springfield (Tarewa),
lift off once more and take to the skies, soaring back across the river valleys
to Christchurch.

Includes 40 minutes of flying and 30 minutes on a jet boat (allow 1.5 hours).
