Lake Benmore Tours

Photo by Lydia Ward


Did you know just being around water can help you feel more relaxed? That's why you should plan a day trip to Lake Benmore. From the pretty views to the tranquil sounds of nature, this is a place where you'll find some peace.

This body of water is one of the best free attractions in Canterbury. But there's tons more to keep you busy in this area. If you'd love some ideas about where to go after Lake Benmore, we recommend Benmore Dam.
