What you can expect

  • At one of the city’s most iconic attractions, sit back and relax on an informative guided punt ride through central Christchurch – an eco-friendly experience at New Zealand’s only punting site.

    See the flora and wildlife of the picturesque Avon River up close, and learn about the sights from your classically-attired punter. Take off from the Antigua Boatsheds to journey through Hagley Park. Punt alongside the Botanic Gardens and admire some of the native flora of New Zealand.

    Punting is an all-weather activity but our staff will supply blankets and umbrellas when needed.
