Punting On The Avon (Antigua Boat Sheds)

The Avon River is not so magnificent, but it is the mother river of Christchurch. On the contrary, where the river flows, a sample of leisure and tranquil ecological cities, canoeing is even more enjoyable!

The Avon River boating activity has been cancelled because many buildings near the Avon River in the city center have been destroyed after the earthquake. The boating was not seen in the Avon River, so no one participated, so the activity was cancelled. The appearance of the city center that has not recovered since the earthquake. But there are many gourmet music events on the riverside meadow. There are colleges and museums nearby.

We visited the Avon River in Christchurch on this day. The river is not wide but it is really beautiful. The river is clear and feels particularly good. We also visited the Botanical Garden, and the many plants inside look beautiful.

There are many ducks at the Christchurch Botanical Garden, with beautiful scenery and quiet environment. The botanical garden is very, very large, and most of the attached gardens are located in the Avon River Basin. Tourists like us can't finish shopping, you can walk along the river and feel it.

Definitely worth going, both tourists and locals like to swing their paddles in the Avon river. Especially when the weather is good, there will be many boats in this river. Recommended romantic private trip.
