How Solo-Friendly is Christchurch Adventure Park?

87%Solo-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 87% Solo-Friendly: A solo visitor can tackle New Zealand’s highest dual zipline, rent a downhill bike or hike free trails, then unwind in the licensed café, so activity choice is huge. Strenuous terrain and high fees lower the score slightly.

Went for mountain biking on vacation from the United States and the wife did free hiking. All the staff from the moment you walk into the ticket shop were amazing. They take the time to get you set up for the trails and are super nice. The park was very well maintained and my wife got to hike up the mountain and ride the chairlift down which was a great activity for here while I rode.

Loved the zip lines. Fantastic and the guides were great. Recommend this to anyone who loves nature with a little extra in the mix. Well worth the effort, the views are spectacular.

We felt so welcomed. Every staff member spoke to us and chatted. We're in our 70's and they were considerate and kind. Awesome thoughts to you all. Have an amazing summer. Well done team.

The zip lining was incredible. We took advantage of the full package which included the chairlift and 4 zip lines and was so much fun. Ellie and Lilly were excellent instructors and the attention to detail for our safety was second to none, and their humour just made the time a lot of fun. Definitely recommended.

Spent the day on the trails and had a blast. Chairlift was a fun experience in itself. Loads of varied runs for all levels that were well maintained and easy to follow. Great staff and facilities. Pretty amazing setting with stunning views over Christchurch. Highly recommended. Will def return!
