Punting on the Avon River in Christchurch

The River Avon winds gracefully through Christchurch central in New Zealand and a top attraction is Punting on the Avon. For a reasonable price, you can enjoy a half hour trip along the river with a commentary on the sights and history of the area. The punters engage well with visitors and call out cheery greetings to people in canoes and paddleboats. The punts are appealing with padded seats and are constructed out of local wood types. As you pass under low bridges and admire historical buildings and the Botanic Gardens, you can almost imagine you’ve been transported back in history. A must do activity when visiting Christchurch.
