Canterbury’s Selwyn area stretches from the vast plains at the edge of
Christchurch through rolling farmland dotted with small towns, and up to the snow-capped mountains of the Southern Alps. Selwyn has many lovely features, including the Waimakariri and Rakaia Rivers – a paradise for anglers, the wild mountain scenery of
Arthur’s Pass National Park, and access to Canterbury’s beautiful
ski areas for winter adventure.
Take to the skies in a hot air balloon at
Darfield, discover the coalmining history at
Glentunnel, enjoy the diverse birdlife around
Leeston, or head up to Arthur’s Pass for climbing and hiking in the rugged mountains. Other activities to keep you busy in Selwyn include horse riding, jetboating, hunting, and fishing.
