Lake Hood is situated just five minutes from Ashburton and boasts seven kilometres of shoreline, a water ski tournament park and international-class rowing course.

Rakaia is a rural community 50 kilometres south of Christchurch, with a 1.8-kilometre bridge spanning the Rakaia River, one of the world's best examples of a braided river and offering some of the best fishing in the country. Rakaia offers a range of activities including salmon fishing, jet boating, golf, garden visits, craft markets and farm tours.

The Methven and Mt Hutt regions offer walks, fishing, hunting, skiing and snowboarding, bungy jumping, jet boating, hot air ballooning and golf. Each year, thousands of visitors from around the world base themselves at Methven Mt Hutt Village, which is at the heart of seven ski areas and over 1000 square kilometres of the best heli-skiing terrain in New Zealand.
