Hurunui District Must-Dos's

Hurunui River Fishing

Trout, whitebait and seasonal, sea-run salmon flush the river’s waters. If the fishing is superb, then the scenery is second to none. Quite simply, a haven for anglers.

North Canterbury Wine Region

Spanning nearly 200km, this extensive wine region includes Waipara Valley, a fast-growing sub-region just 20 minutes south of Hurunui town. The cool, dry climate implores visitors to try impressive Riesling, pinot noir and chardonnay.

Lewis Pass

The northern-most of three passes crossing the Southern Alps, Lewis Pass is staggeringly beautiful. Expect an often steep and windy drive through extensive beech forest protected within a national reserve.

TOP TIP: Maruia Hot Springs is on the Lewis Pass. Soak up Southern Alp views as well as the pure geothermal natural waters. Enjoy daily wellness classes, massage and gourmet lunches.
