It was such a nice experience under a nice weather. Definitely will recommend to people who are visiting christ church for the first time. The punter was so friendly with the occasional jokes. Got to know back stories of so many events of the city. It was one of the best highlights of the city I must say.
Punting on the Avon River from Antigua Boat Sheds is a must-do in Christchurch. It’s a wonderfully peaceful and scenic experience, offering beautiful views of the Botanic Gardens and the city.nnOur guide, TK, truly made the journey special. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history, but his charisma and engaging storytelling added a personal touch to the trip. His warm and friendly demeanour made the whole experience feel effortless and relaxing.nnIf you’re looking for a unique and serene way to see Christchurch, this is the perfect way to do it! Highly recommend it.
We had a wonderful punting ride on the Avon River with Ollie as our punter.nnOllie was incredibly friendly, humorous, and shared lots of interesting details about Christchurch along the way. It was one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had—the gentle sounds of ducks, flowing water, and tree branches created a beautiful symphony for our time in Christchurch.nnHighly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable way to see the city!
One of the must things to do while visiting Christchurch. The boat shed on the Avon is a Victorian era building. The punters give you a history of the buildings, the boat shed, the eels, the Scaups, the Canadian goose, the trees that are around the Avon river. The ride down the river is about 30minutes would have been better if the ride was longer. Enjoy the botanical gardens, the ducks and the goose during your boat ride. You can also see the eels our punter said the eels are 80 years old, few even older.nA peaceful boat ride through the serene landscape.
Just experienced the quintessential Christchurch activity: punting on the Avon River! It was such a relaxing and charming way to see the city from a different perspective. Gliding gently along the water in the Edwardian-style boat, propelled by our knowledgeable and friendly punter, was truly delightful.
