Was the best part of our trip! It was a beautiful scenic ride and our guide Shane was very funny and informative. Learnt heaps about the history of Christchurch, local flora/fauna & punting. They have a cat Chino at the boat sheds that loves a pat.

It's really a wonderful garden. We loved it

Kent Dutton

Absolutely brilliant tourist business. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. All the tram's drivers gave a running commentary during our journeys. They each had their own style and delivery. At one stop, Gordon, our driver, had a few minutes to spare, so we all got off the tram, and he gave us a guided tour through the old university sites.
Highly recommended.

Check the website for packages, dates of operation and keep the weather in mind. Convenient bus route 8 from The CBD right to the front door of the Gondola base. The views at the top are spectacular on clear weather days and an absolutely must do if you're in Christchurch. Several hiking trails from here all over the mountain.
Pack your own lunch and drinks and enjoy responsibly outside on the rocks.
Remember appropriate footwear and jack's as it does get fresh on windy days.

Two thumbs up!!

while to get on the gondola, especially with the summer crowds. We got lucky with a beautiful clear day, which made the wait totally worth it.

As you rise above the valley, the landscape opens up fast — you can see Heathcote below, the city of Christchurch stretching out across the plains, and the Pacific Ocean glittering beyond. On the other side: rolling hills, Lyttelton Harbour, and the distant outline of the Southern Alps.

There’s a great café at the top too — perfect for relaxing and taking it all in.

The Punter was very accommodating and kind enough to share his knowledge with us. A relaxing experience for anyone.

Quirky thrill riding the trams through Christchurch. Book tickets online. Redeem at the starting point office. Hop on and off to your hearts-content. Most stop near points of interest or other attractions along the way. Worth it even if only for the thrill of joy-riding!

Gus Algie

I wasn’t sure if it was worth going up due to clouds and mist but when you get up there you realise it comes and goes and the views are incredible. Worth the money!

Angga Prasada

I really wish I could have a bright day. Unfortunately it was cloudy, the staff told me that it was cloudy and let us re think to ride or not. It was nice.

Chris Turner

Rock on up to any of the 18 stops. Can buy tickets from the tram conductor or online. Great commentary from the driver and very knowledgeable.
