About Punting with Gondola Combo

Experience the best of Christchurch with this unbeatable combo that pairs a serene Avon River punting tour with a breathtaking Gondola ride. Enjoy a Cambridge-style journey through lush gardens and hanging trees, then soar above the city for panoramic views—all while saving on this perfectly bundled adventure.

Local Legends & Stories

The Avon River, or Ōtākaro in Māori, has long been a central part of Christchurch's identity, offering a peaceful escape through the heart of the city. The Gondola, perched on a hillside, provides a modern contrast to the historic charm of the river punts, symbolizing the blend of nature and urban life in Christchurch.

Must Do Experiences

Ride the Gondola to the summit of Mt. Hutt for stunning 360-degree views of Christchurch and the surrounding countryside.
Explore the charming Heathcote Valley area, known for its picturesque gardens and serene natural beauty.

Hidden Gems

Ask your punting guide about the hidden waterways and secret garden spots along the Avon River that most visitors miss.
Visit the nearby Botanic Gardens early in the morning for a quieter, more intimate experience with the iconic weeping willows.
Look for local wildlife like kingfishers and ducks during the punting tour—they're often spotted near the riverbanks.

What Makes it Special

Combine two iconic Christchurch experiences into one package for a memorable day out.
Enjoy a relaxed, Cambridge-style punting tour that offers a unique perspective of the city's green spaces.
Save money while getting the best of both worlds: a tranquil river journey and an uplifting gondola ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Gondola experience included in this combo lets you take in various local landmarks such as Hagley Park and Christchurch itself.

Punting on the Avon River is a Cambridge-style experience where a river pilot gently glides you down the water to take in various gardens, hanging trees, and local landmarks.

The combo ticket includes one return journey on the Christchurch Gondola and one shared Avon River Punting experience from the designated departure point.

The punting ride lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes, while the Gondola return trip takes about 10 minutes each way, plus additional time spent at the summit.

During the punt ride, you will glide past the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, Hagley Park, and various historic oak and willow trees lining the riverbanks.

Punting departs from the Antigua Boat Sheds or the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, while the Gondola base terminal is located at 10 Bridle Path Road, requiring independent transport between the two distinct locations.

Children of all ages can participate in both activities, but infants and toddlers must be held securely on a lap or seated safely inside the flat-bottomed punt boat.

The Gondola cabins are fully wheelchair accessible, but the Avon River Punting boats require passengers to step down into the vessel and are not suitable for standard wheelchairs.

Early morning or late afternoon provides the most peaceful river conditions for punting and optimal lighting for photography from the Gondola summit.

You should bring a camera, sunglasses, and a light jacket, as the open-air punt and the elevated Gondola summit can be breezy and cooler than the city center.

The combo ticket is generally valid for 30 days from the date of first use, allowing you to complete the two activities on separate days if preferred.

The Gondola operates on a continuous basis without specific time slots, but punting is subject to capacity and weather, so arriving early at the river departure point is recommended to secure your seat.
