Description
While there are plenty of attractions to choose from in Christchurch, Punting on the Avon River is truly one of the most beautiful, romantic and picturesque attractions in all of the City. Combine that with a scenic ride in the Christchurch Gondola and you can be sure of having an amazingly magical day!
A synonymously English icon; the punt has been taken on-board by the Kiwis, and entangled with the scenic beauty of the Botanic Gardens; making it one of the most enchanting days out and about in Christchurch, the Garden City. Picture yourself floating along the Avon River, gently guided along by a romantic Edwardian era dressed punter. Feel the sun kiss your cheeks and a light breeze – with a hint of flowering blossom scent – brush along your hair. This is definitely a nice way to spend your day!
The Christchurch Botanic Gardens are one of the world’s most spectacularly cultivated garden environments. Back in 1863 – as a commemoration of a royal wedding – an English Oak was planted; this was the birth of the elegant gardens. These days, the huge 30 hectare park is dotted with more than ten sub-gardens, and surrounded by the magical Avon River. During your punting experience, you will be able to admire the Botanic Gardens while you float down the Avon River. If you would like a closer look at the gardens, check out the Christchurch Botanic Gardens Tour.
The second part of your Christchurch Attractions package is the iconic Christchurch Gondola. Ride in a mountain cablecar up to Mt Cavendish, where you can admire 360 degree views across Christchurch, Lyttelton Harbour and the Southern Alps. At the top, you can visit the gift shop, cafe & walking trails, as well take part in the Christchurch Discovery Ride - a time tunnel depicting the fascinating history of the Christchurch region.
The Christchurch Gondola & Punting on the Avon combo allows you to combine two of the best attractions in Christchurch. This is an excellent tour for couples, families, friends and even an indulgent solo day out.
