Canterbury Region's Unmissable Highlights

The Canterbury Region encompasses the Southern Alps and the turquoise glacial waters of Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki. It is home to Aoraki/Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak, and the Mackenzie Basin’s International Dark Sky Reserve at Mount John. The landscape features the weathered limestone formations of Elephant Rocks, the volcanic terrain of the Banks Peninsula, and the high-altitude route of Arthur's Pass. Coastal Kaikoura offers deep-water marine life encounters, while the Hooker Valley provides pedestrian access to terminal glaciers.
