Quite ordinary
The experience was alright. I would have loved if the gentleman rowing could have provided some insights about the history and culture. It was a largely silent trip through the narrow river. Most of the entertainment was provided by the ducks with their antics and of course the trees in the botanical garden did make a beautiful sight...

Number 1 attraction in Christchurch
If there is one thing to do in Christchurch, its Punting on the Avon. Its relaxing on the water, the seats are comfy and at this time of year, the daffodils and blossom is in full bloom. You will see some friendly ducks, the native diving ducks were our favourite. If you are lucky you will spot some ducklings!! Well worth the money, I have paid full price in the past and still worth every penny. Wish they did an annual pass!! We love this experience.
