Punting On The Avon (Antigua Boat Sheds) Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Avon River is a river that runs through the whole city of Christchurch, and along the Avon River, immerse yourself in a peaceful rafting trip. The boatman supports the punt with a long pole designed for small rivers and shallow waters that will take you across the water. The boatman, usually dressed in traditional Edwardian clothing, will explain the history of Christchurch and the sights you will pass by. On the way of rafting, you can also enjoy the weeping willows on both sides of the river, as well as the wild animals that randomly appear in the botanical garden.

Other visitors' reviews of Punting On The Avon (Antigua Boat Sheds)
Show More ReviewsA lovely last-minute addition to our Christchurch itinerary. Punting on the Avon was peaceful, relaxing, and a wonderful way to see the Botanic Gardens from the river. Our punter was friendly and shared interesting stories along the way. Definitely a charming experience that we’d recommend while visiting Christchurch.
