Experience the charm, culture, and beauty of Christchurch on a guided day tour through New Zealand's Garden City.

Enjoy panoramic views stretching from the coastline across Christchurch and the Canterbury Plains to the Southern Alps, offering a unique perspective of the region's stunning natural beauty.Along the way, discover the stories and heritage that have shaped the city, with fascinating local commentary and excellent photo opportunities. 

Around the middle of the day we can take a short lunch break at one of our delicious eateries or restaurants before heading for a punting boat ride on the charming Avon River.

This tour includes a stop at our favourite Greenstone Shop, where you will get a short behind the scenes tour with a professional carver  and learn about New Zealand pounamu (greenstone) and how it is made. You will also have time to browse these authentic carvings in the shop.
