Punting on the Avon

Summer or winter, glide along the tranquil Avon River in Christchurch, as a skilled punter in traditional Edwardian attire propels you slowly along the water.

Avon River punting tours are set aboard handcrafted flat-bottomed boats, poled along by your punter from the platformed till at the rear end of the boat. An ideal group or family activity, punting on the Avon is an eco-friendly way to relax and enjoy Christchurch from a different perspective.

Please note that all standard punt rides are shared rides. For customers wishing to take a private punt ride, please enquire about the exclusive 45 minute private tour.
