    Trams, punting and gondolas... what's not to love! We had booked the punting portion on what turned out to be a rainy morning but luckily were able to reschedule to the afternoon. Such a relaxing activity and beautiful scenery. The tram ride was interesting and educational. It's great to see these still running. And then we were able to do the gondola ride on a separate day, so it makes it very nice to be able to split these up. You can take city bus #8 up to the gondola for $8NZ roundtrip (cash only, pay on the bus), bargain! All in all, would highly recommend.

    The punting was a nice 30 minute ride down the Avon which was a very tranquil and relaxing experience. Nice commentary by Abi. Thoroughly enjoyed! The Gondola experience was nice. Great views, walked around the area and nice cafe to relax at afterwards. Took the #8 bus from central station and very inexpensive and convenient. The Tram was nice with commentary from the driver. We took the full loop initially and then unlimited hop on off. Best to do it early in the day as it got really crowded and unable to board towards the later part of the day.

  • Great fun trip
