Has to be one of the most beautiful harbours in the southern hemisphere. Blue waters, clear skies. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by rolling hills and charming coastal views. The facilities are well-maintained, and the atmosphere is calm yet vibrant. A must-visit spot for anyone exploring Christchurch – truly a gem on New Zealand’s coastline.
Lyttleton, despite being a working port container and timber shipping is a lovely, picturesque port in the South Island of New Zealand. It is the gateway port for Christchurch but it is a much smaller and pleasant town than it's larger neighbour. I have had many visits to this port but I always enjoy returning again. It is a harbour that provides access to Diamond Harbour accessible by public ferry that is 10 minute ride across the harbour and is worth a visit if you are in the area.
Great purpose built facility that allows cruise ships back to the area. Run very well by the local port company with friendly and efficient staff. The fact that you are basically in the middle of a secure, working port facility doesn't impede or stop you from being able to move out to larger Christchurch, local attractions or the lively little town of Lyttelton itself.
The berthing location for cruise ships in Lyttleton harbour. Facilities appear to be of fairly recent construction, and consist of a concrete jetty with two connections to a roadway that runs along the nearby breakwater. The connection to the ship itself is by means of two aluminium gangways mounted to 20 foot shipping containers, and removable gangways that are installed / removed with the use of a large road crane.nnBeing a working harbour, access is limited to a short walk to a nearby bus boarding area, where buses to Lyttleton or Christchurch will be waiting. We booked tickets to Christchurch on the ship a few days before arriving in Lyttleton. When returning to the port, don't forget to have your photo identification and cruise pass ready for inspection by port employees. I found the whole process of disembarking and re-boarding the ship to be handled very efficiently.
Fast and efficient going off the ship and coming back. It was helpful to buy tickets to go from the cruise to Christchurch directly. Don't wait, buy the tickets early.
