Outdoor Activities

Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch is one of the top New Zealand visitor attractions where you will experience New Zealand wildlife first hand and learn about the diversity of this country's natural environment and history.

The Marae offers a chance for tourists, school groups and local people to experience Maori culture in an attraction that is unique to Christchurch and the South Island. The Marae provides daily tours for school groups and tourists. The Marae employs up to thirty people as guides, teachers, and caterers, and as part of its highly successful cultural group, to educate visitors in all aspects of traditional Maori customs and history. The Marae itself features two of New Zealand's most spectacularly carved whare, or meeting houses, Aoraki and the Whare Wananga developed by hundreds of inexperienced trainee carvers.
