How to see this place with your own eyes ⬇️ 📌 Save this info for later so that you can plan an epic trip here Rakaia Gorge is one of Canterbury’s most underrated spots, and I couldn’t believe how blue the water was in real life. If you’re after a scenic day trip from Christchurch, this is it! 📅 When to go: The best time to visit is on a clear, sunny day when the river’s bright turquoise color really pops! 🚗 How to get there: It’s about a 1.5-hour drive from Christchurch, and the Rakaia Gorge Walkway starts right off SH77. The full track is 10km return, but you can do a shorter section for epic views. 🥣 If you’re keen on a unique perspective, there’s an awesome jet boating option on the river.
