Heaps of fun, I would say I enjoyed the tram the most, very informative; leave a full day to fit in all three activities though!

This is a great deal to see Christchurch and much cheaper than doing it with the tour group. The gondola experience was spectacular and the punting was a fun way to get introduced to the Botantical gardens and some eels. We would highly recommend booking this package of three.
Fantastic

I should recomend the combo tram, punting and gondola. Each experience gave us different wow. By the way, my son was sick on the day we booked so he could not join the trip with us. Anyone know how we can claim the ticket fee back?
Fun

Our reservation somehow got lost between the booking office and the punting shed but Reese quickly and efficiently got us rescheduled at our original time so we didn’t have to miss anything. He was a very gracious and polite young man and we appreciated his help, thank you Reese!!!
Great way to tour around Christchurch

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 way to see the Christchurch

Bought the Activities Pass which included the Gondola, Punting on the Avon and HoHo tram so a great way to get to see it all and a nice way to get around the city. Took the gondola ride first on the way into the city from the cruise ship; cloudy but still gorgeous views and lots of history on the walls at the top. Got on the HoHo and cruised around town easily, especially with lots of construction going on. We were able to city sites including Botanical Gardens and the Cardboard Church. Punting on the Avon was also well worth it. Beautiful, peaceful and punting operators were informative and engaging. Just be sure to read the details as the gondola is a 20 minute bus ride away from the city.
