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.

The Avon River boating activity has been cancelled because many buildings near the Avon River in the city center have been destroyed after the earthquake. The boating was not seen in the Avon River, so no one participated, so the activity was cancelled. The appearance of the city center that has not recovered since the earthquake. But there are many gourmet music events on the riverside meadow. There are colleges and museums nearby.
We visited the Avon River in Christchurch on this day. The river is not wide but it is really beautiful. The river is clear and feels particularly good. We also visited the Botanical Garden, and the many plants inside look beautiful.
There are many ducks at the Christchurch Botanical Garden, with beautiful scenery and quiet environment. The botanical garden is very, very large, and most of the attached gardens are located in the Avon River Basin. Tourists like us can't finish shopping, you can walk along the river and feel it.
Definitely worth going, both tourists and locals like to swing their paddles in the Avon river. Especially when the weather is good, there will be many boats in this river. Recommended romantic private trip.
