Take a punt: Christchurch Attractions
Spring is an ideal season for punting on the tranquil Avon River; a unique Christchurch experience.
Sit back, relax, and be surrounded by nature on a classic punt ride through central Christchurch.
Choose to depart from the Antigua Boat Sheds site to float past the fresh flora and blooms in the Botanic Gardens, or glide through the central city’s lush Avon River precinct from the newly-reopened Worcester Bridge site – both offer equally scenic views.
The 30-minute tours are guided by an expert punter, dressed in Edwardian attire, offering a considered commentary.
Perfect for couples, families, and small groups, a punt ride is also a fantastic option for a corporate group or social outing, making for a relaxing addition to a busy day’s itinerary.
Gift vouchers are also available, and are a wonderful option for friends and family, or valued employees and clients, to experience a tranquil ride on the Avon.
