Situated at Methven, with the nearest town at Christchurch, Mt Hutt Ski Resort offers a full alpine experience with incredible views of the Canterbury Plains. You can choose to self drive your way up to the resort if your car is equipped with right snow chain equipment, but if you’re not like me, there is a shuttle bus from Methven to bring visitors up. As it’s my first time doing snowboarding and skiing, we sign up for a one day crash course to learn the basics. And indeed it’s a whole day of “crashing our butt” on the snowy floor 😂 Jokes aside, the instructors were super friendly and helpful, and I’ve definitely learnt a lot during the lessons! Overall it was a really fun experience and even for those who doesn’t want to engage in the snow activities, I would still recommend anyone who is interested in playing or watching “snow” to visit the place! #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #skiing #nyedestinations #wintergetaway

Lake Tekapo is in the South Island of New Zealand. It's fringed by the Southern Alps and known for its turquoise colour. At its southern end, in Lake Tekapo township, is the stone Church of the Good Shepherd. The lake is part of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, with low light pollution. The lake is fed at its northern end by both the braided Godley River and Macauley river, which have their sources in the Southern Alps to the north. The snow melt from the Southern Alps is tinged with a light turquoise colour from the glacial silt.This gives Lake Tekapo its distinctive colour. To the east of Lake Tekapo lies the Two Thumb range with Mount Toby (2222m); Braun Elwert Peak (2086m); Dobson Peak (2095m) and Mount Maude (1797m) amongst the mountains over looking Lake Tekapo.

There are countless of exciting activities in New Zealand, and one of the must do is jet boating! Amuri jet is located at Hanmer Springs with the nearest big city to be at Christchurch. What makes this jet boating really special compared to others is the location the boat travels. It jets down the length of Waiau Gorge which is an absolutely beautiful and spectacular place. However remember that it is not just a normal boat activity, IT IS a jetboat. And that means in addition to scenery viewing, the boat goes pass steep canyon walls, drifting just centimetres away from the cliffs and rugged rocks, making the whole ride an exciting, thrilling and heart thumping activity! but worry not, the driver is really experienced, ensuring all your safety is being take cared of. Its an activity I will highly recommend to anyone traveling around the region! #momentssg #decembertravel #springholiday #urbanexplorer #travelinspiration #unforgettableexperiences
