Christchurch Sightseeing with Jet Boating Shore Excursion from Lyttelton

Experience the exhilaration of a 30-minute jet boat ride, “The Braided Blast,” when you do a Christchurch Sightseeing with Jet Boating Shore Excursion from Lyttelton on the snow-fed Waimakariri River as it winds its way through the shallow river flats. Your expert driver will navigate the ever-changing courses of the shingle-bottomed streams, sometimes passing through waters that are only centimetres deep.

After your thrilling ride, enjoy a tour of Christchurch city centre, where you will witness the devastating effects of the 2011 earthquake that left historic buildings and architecture severely damaged. Observe the ongoing rebuilding efforts and marvel at the new and beautiful architecture, gardens, and scenic viewpoints. Stroll through the Monavale Gardens, featuring picturesque ponds and water features, explore the botanical gardens in the heart of the city, and venture to the seaside suburb of Sumner.

Finally, journey to the Sign of the Takahe to take in the stunning vistas of the Canterbury Plains and Southern Alps. With this unforgettable experience, you’ll have an opportunity to witness both the destruction and resilience of Christchurch, and appreciate its unique beauty and charm.
