Unique things to do in Christchurch Feb 2014

look up Bare Kiwi on facebook or you tube. He has 6 videos of what to do in CHCH and the amazing things being done since the big earth quakes. 'gap filler' 'C1' cafe. cardboard cathedral, Beaches, city, night life etc. museum botanical gardens. Trip to Akaroa - lovely french colonial village in a hidden bay where you can dolphin watch.
Tandem paragliding in Sumner, Mountain biking. Hot air balloon. Sky diving etc

There's the luge just out of Christchurch, the Antarctic Centre is superb - not an adventure sport but interesting and well done.
Or, day trips south to Akaroa where there's a pile of things to do. http://www.akaroa.com/

I highly recommend the drive up to Summit Road, and then along it and out to Akaroa. Fun drive, great views, and Lyttelton and Akaroa are both neat towns.

As per above , I don't think you have anything adventure wise close to Christchurch. I also recommend Lyttleton and Akaroa

You'll find plenty to do near Christchurch for two days...as others have said, head out to Lyttleton and Akaroa...day walks on the Banks Peninsula...jetboating on the Rakaia river...

Agreed on Akaroa.

Lake Tekapo isn't tooooo far away if you left nice and early and could spend the night there. Stop off on the way to see the big salmon and worlds largest knitted jumper...
