7 June- Springfield

After a few days of rain and a rising river,
This group of adventurers travelled out from the city for an awesome spin with Andy at our Springfield base. Many had never been on a boat before and the gorge definitely exceeded expectations!😎

3 Jun - Christchurch & Springfield
Unusually warm weather for this time of year is providing great opportunities for folks to enjoy the river.
Whether it be in the Waimakariri Gorge for a Canyon Safari or an Airblast on the Alpine AirBoat at the Braided Shallows near Christchurch there’s no better way to fill your day than a trip with Alpine Jet Thrills!

31 May- Springfield
It was a bit windy but very warm trip up to Walkers Hut with some folks all from around New Zealand.
We managed to dodge the rain.
Big smiles all round!

29 May -Springfield.
Well, that’s it! The day before the day before the last day of Autumn!
It’s Friday, and it’s important that these two Cheeky Kea guests came for a ride today because there won’t another one like it this Autumn!
By next week we’ll be entering an entirely new season at Alpine Jetthrills….. Winter!
Blue skies, white caps on the mountains, it’s a stunning time to come out for a rip in the Waimakariri gorge.

27 May
A real mixed bag today, first up a river check in the AirBoat on the Braided Shallows, followed by a Braided Blast with Adam and our guests from Singapore.
Then a trip to Springfield for a rip in the gorge with some Cheeky Kea Guests as the sun went down.

24 May - Springfield
It’s shoulder season here on the Waimakariri, not summer and not winter!
That doesn’t mean we’re not ready for a blast on the river as some of our Cheeky Kea guests found, heading out with Andy during the week.

2 May- Springfield
Our first group of afternoon Cheeky Kea guests capitalised on the opportunity to experience the Waimakariri gorge from the water after seeing it from the train in the morning. It’s a spectacular time of the year.

24 April -Springfield
After a cold and wet start to the week the last two days have been “ Off the charts!” The rain and cold temps left us with a beautiful backdrop of snow and with folks in town for the rugby at the new One NZ stadium we’ve literally had people dropping in out of the blue to come for a ride in the Waimakariri gorge!
