Program
Board an Edwardian punt and
glide along the Avon River
Depart from the Antigua Boatsheds and sit back in a flat-bottomed, Edwardian-style punt as you float along the Avon River. Your punter, dressed in classic attire, steers the boat and introduces the sights in English. This shared tour lasts about 30 minutes, with up to 8 participants per punt.
Pass through Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens
The punt travels past Hagley Park and through the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. Enjoy views of the newly revitalized Avon River in the city center along with native New Zealand plants growing along the banks.
See native plants and wildlife from the water
From your low seat close to the water, see the riverside plants and wildlife from a unique perspective. At the end of the tour, you return to the Antigua Boatsheds where you started.
※ Wildlife lives in its natural habitat, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ Punting is an all-weather activity, and staff provide blankets and umbrellas when needed.
