Things to do in Christchurch

Must try experience! Had so much fun at the Farm meeting Alpacas and feeding them. Friendly staff. Very informative.

From the moment, I was picked up at my hotel accommodation to the trip it was nothing but amazing. The tour driver was very knowledgeable and very ethusiastic during the trip. All of our itinerary and tourist spots were ticked off. I highly recommend to do this Tranzalpine tour from Christchurch to Arthur's Pass. It was my first time in Christchurch and I fell in love with the place. Castle Hill, Otira Viaduct and Devil's Punchbowl Waterfall is a must see + we get to see a Kea bird. I would surely come back next time.

The whale watching activity was canceled due to bad weather, but the tour guide seemed inexperienced and unable to arrange and execute a backup plan in a timely manner. When we stopped along the way, they also didn't announce the meeting time. Luckily, the group members were quite good and didn't cause any delays. The guide did provide some brief commentary along the way, and there was someone in our group who didn't understand Chinese, but the guide hardly used English to accommodate them.

It was a last-minute tour booking, but it exceeded all my expectations! The guides were so kind and gave fantastic explanations. Even though my Korean honorifics are a bit rusty and I couldn't catch half of it, when I translated it using GPT, it turned out they were sharing fascinating geological and historical explanations. We made stops along the way to take pictures at great spots. The snacks and the lunch box were totally my style. It was a very satisfying tour. At the end, I wondered what was going on with the people taking the train, and it turned out to be a different package that required an extra fee. I was a bit curious about that too, but on the way back, I just slept soundly on the bus! Thank you.

Klook pass does really save you some money and it's easy to also book the attractions. Just be warned that the standalone package dates and time availability is different from the klook pass

This tour is highly recommended! Especially in autumn 🍂, the trees along the banks gradually turn red, and there are groups of cute ducklings and Canadian geese. The boatman provides commentary on the history and attractions along the way, which is very informative! It's an activity suitable for the whole family.

Was an awesome tour to see the dolphins! The captain also gives good information about Akaroa as well. Would recommend taking sea sick tablets if you get motion sickness or sea sick though to make your time more enjoyable.

we booked the tour, Rosa was our guide and walked us thru the NZ area of animals. very informative and knowledgeable. we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Great kayak trip! Our guide, Kevin, was fantastic—truly passionate about sharing the history of Akaroa and the reserve. The trip was well arranged, and we were lucky to see both seals and penguins along the way.
