An iconic Christchurch attraction not to be missed, relax on board an informative punt ride and see the city from a different perspective. Sink back and admire the picturesque Botanic Gardens or glide through the evolving central city as your classically attired punter poles you quietly along the river on this eco-friendly activity perfect for all ages.
Choose between our two fantastic sites: float through the Botanic Gardens from our Antigua Boat Sheds landing or see the central city’s Avon River Precinct from our Worcester Bridge landing (please note this site is currently closed until mid-December 2022).
Please ensure you arrive at the correct location for your punting experience, and please arrive at least 15 minutes before your booking time to check in and undergo a safety briefing. Punts depart promptly at the scheduled time, and guests who do not arrive in time for their booked departure will not receive a refund.
Punting is an all-weather activity: our team supply blankets, umbrellas, and even hot water bottles in winter at our Antigua Boat Sheds site. You enter and leave the punt by stepping onto a secure platform. Please note that the punt seats are very low to the ground (much like sitting on the floor).
Please note that all standard punt rides are shared 30-minute rides. For customers wishing to take a private punt ride, our 45-minute private charters are available to book subject to availability from the Antigua Boat Sheds departure point (price on application – please contact our team for details).
