A slim estuary of the Waimakariri River, Kaiapoi runs directly through the middle of the Kaiapoi township. Expect a minor amount of boat traffic in the riverfront vicinity (Kaiapoi River was once a bustling shipping route used to export raw wool from out of the area), but don't be deterred from dipping in for a swim. Fishermen may want to note that this comparatively urban waterway still holds a large population of trout. Amenities are close by in the township itself.
