Overview
On our Christchurch Sightseeing with Sheep Farm Shore Excursion from Lyttelton, you start with a city tour of Christchurch and immerse yourself in the grand architecture, beautiful gardens, and scenic viewpoints that this city has to offer. Marvel at the seaside suburb of Sumner and head to the Sign of the Takahe to admire the breathtaking views of the Canterbury Plains and Southern Alps in New Zealand's South Island.
Stroll through the serene Monavale Gardens, which boast lovely ponds and water features. As you drive through the city centre, witness both the destruction caused by the devastating earthquake of February 2011 and the ongoing rebuilding efforts that are currently taking place.
Next, journey outside the city and visit a tranquil and picturesque working sheep farm. Observe the sheep dogs in action as they expertly round up the flock and pen them for you to observe, touch, examine and photograph. A shearing demonstration has been arranged for your enjoyment, where you can learn about the different sheep breeds and their wool, and how the wool is packed and graded. As you bask in the rural beauty of New Zealand, indulge in some delectable home baking and enjoy a lovely afternoon tea in the woolshed.
