Punting in the Park provides an authentic Edwardian punting experience in keeping with the English character of Christchurch. Lie back into the velvet cushions and let the punter propel you from the historic Antigua Boatsheds. Drift past the leafy banks of the Botanic Gardens taking in the spectacular splashes of colour, shady gardens and ducks and swans as you meander through the prettiest stretch of the Avon River.

This relaxing, romantic attraction is an icon of Christchurch, one that is not to be missed. Tours depart daily on demand every 30 minutes, however bookings are recommended. There are boundless opportunities for spectacular photography so don't forget your camera.
