... Amazing aerial nature view of the Canterbury Plains in the South Island with Mount Hutt in the background... New Zealand's South Island hosts the purest natural landscapes you'll ever experience... the Rakaia river cuts through the foothils of the Southern Alps creating the picturesque Rakaia Gorge... Rakaia Gorge has many tourist attractions and travel activities... take a jet boat ride, go fishing, head out on a scenic walk with stunning views or just enjoy the incredible turquoise shades of this river gorge... Thanks a lot Ravindra!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
