TUI CANYON

A PARK & PLAY GEM
TUI CANYON is an awesome half-day adventure near Christchurch.
Forget the usual long hike in — it’s just a short 5-minute walk to the canyon, which means more time canyoning! Expect fun jumps and slides, plus a zipline and abseil along the way.

THE EXPERIENCE

TUI IS THE PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO CANYONING

Waterfalls, a weeping wall, epic jumps, fun ziplines, and beautiful native bush around every corner.
