Our Lakes and Gorges Tour offers a spectacular journey through some of Canterbury’s most stunning landscapes, taking in the wide open vistas of Lake Coleridge, the dramatic cliffs of the Rakaia Gorge, the tranquil waters of Lake Lyndon, and the braided channels of the Waimakariri Gorge. Traveling from south to north, the tour showcases the diversity of the region’s high-country scenery, with each stop providing unique photo opportunities and a chance to enjoy the fresh alpine air.
Weather and seasonal conditions play a key role in the route, and when the skies are clear, we travel between Lake Coleridge and Lake Lyndon via a scenic back-road that offers breathtaking views and a sense of adventure. If conditions are less favorable, we take an alternate route, ensuring safety while still enjoying the spectacular scenery along the way.
