Christchurch Tram & Punting on the Avon

A full circuit on the Christchurch Tram takes approximately 50 minutes, but your ticket is valid for hop-on hop-off travel throughout the entire day.

There are currently 18 stops throughout central Christchurch. Customers can hop on and off at any stop, and our trams will pause at every stop so there is no need to alert the driver in advance that you would like to board or disembark.

Two of Christchurch Trams are able to accommodate up to 2 manual wheelchairs on board at one time using the wheelchair hoist located in Cathedral Junction (please note that motorised wheelchairs are too heavy for the hoist to lift, and the maximum safe working load is 250kg). We recommend phoning ahead on the day to check whether wheelchair-accessible trams are operating and what time they will be departing from Cathedral Junction.

No, you can visit the attractions on different days if you prefer.

Both our standard shared ride and private ride options last 30 minutes.

The ride departs from either the Antigua Boat Sheds or Worcester Bridge, depending on the tour option you choose. If starting at the Antigua Boat Sheds, the ride returns to the same location. For rides starting at Worcester Bridge, the journey ends at Victoria Square. Due to health and safety regulations, there are no opportunities to disembark before the designated end of the ride.

Unfortunately, Punting on the Avon is not fully wheelchair accessible. However, both the Antigua Boat Sheds and Worcester Bridge landings are accessible by wheelchair, allowing guests to step out of their chair and board the punt. For guests who remain in their wheelchairs, parties are welcome to lift the chair in and out of the punt if preferred.
