What travelers say:
The Avon River is not so magnificent, but it is the mother river of Christchurch. On the contrary, where the river flows, a sample of leisure and tranquil ecological cities, canoeing is even more enjoyable!

Punting On The Avon (Antigua Boat Sheds) Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Avon River is a river that runs through the whole city of Christchurch, and along the Avon River, immerse yourself in a peaceful rafting trip. The boatman supports the punt with a long pole designed for small rivers and shallow waters that will take you across the water. The boatman, usually dressed in traditional Edwardian clothing, will explain the history of Christchurch and the sights you will pass by. On the way of rafting, you can also enjoy the weeping willows on both sides of the river, as well as the wild animals that randomly appear in the botanical garden.

Boating on the Avon River has been cancelled because buildings near many sections of the Avon River in the city centre were destroyed after the earthquake. The boating was not very popular in the Avon River, so the activity was cancelled. The downtown landscape has not recovered since the earthquake. But there are also many food concerts on the riverside grassland. There are colleges and museums nearby.
On this day, we visited the Avon River in Christchurch. Although it is not wide, it is really beautiful. The water is clear and it feels very good. We also visited the Botanical Garden, where many plants look beautiful.
There are many ducks in the Botanical Garden of Christchurch. The scenery is beautiful and the environment is quiet. Botanical gardens are very large and most of the gardens are located in the Avon River Basin. Tourists like us can't stop browsing. We can walk along the river and feel it.
It's definitely worth going. Tourists and locals like to paddle in Avon River. Especially when the weather is good, there will be many boats in the river. Recommend romantic private trip.
