Punting on the Avon River (Christchurch)

Guests must arrive at the correct location 15 minutes prior to your booked departure time: punts depart promptly as scheduled, and refunds are not available for guests who miss their booked ride. All standard rides are 30-minute tours shared with other guests, and bookings are essential.

Punting is an all-weather activity: please ensure you are appropriately dressed for the weather, and our staff will supply blankets and umbrellas when needed. Punt seats are low to the ground (much like sitting on the floor).

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

There are plenty of on-street and off-street parking options near both Punting sites: see Christchurch City Council’s website for parking locations.

For guests arriving by Christchurch Tram, stop 10 is directly next to our Worcester Bridge site, and stop 13 is a 3-4 minute walk along Rolleston Avenue from our Antigua Boat Sheds site.
