Things to do in Christchurch

We had such a wonderful time at this alpaca tour in New Zealand. The farm was beautiful and peaceful, and the alpacas were incredibly gentle and well cared for. One of the highlights was getting to feed the alpacas up close — they were friendly, curious, and absolutely adorable!

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.

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 lovely tour that I've ever got! He explain everything and at the end of the trip, he gave us a souvenir ❤️❤️ Thank you! and he provide us a lunch Thank you so much

My family and I had a wonderful time throughout the 13 hour van ride from Christchurch to Queenstown. The cost of the tour is well worth it, since we were able to enjoy all the sights and stops we made. The snacks and lunch were also delicious and filling. Rosie picked us up from our hotel and took us to Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook, while Abbie drove us from Mt Cook to High Country Salmon Farm and then to our Queenstown accommodation. The ride itself felt comfortable and safe. There were 3 vacant seats in Rosie's van, while Abbie's was full with 16 people inside. This was a really fun way to get around. Will definitely recommend Cheeky Kiwi to friends and family!

Thoroughly enjoyable hop on hop off tram experience. A good way to get a quick tour with some history to the city and its main sites. The redemption of the tickets at the office was simple and smooth. Commentary by the driver was informative and entertaining. Defintiely recommend trying this for first timers to Christchurch!

Using the Klook Pass New Zealand was one of the best decisions during my trip. It turned out to be a big money saver. I wanted to do several activities but was worried about the weather. Fortunately, the pass offers flexible cancellation, which made planning much easier. For example, I cancelled my Glowworm Cave tour two days in advance and rebooked another time when the weather was better. The booking and cancellation process was very quick and simple. I used the pass for Shotover Jet in Queenstown, whale watching in Kaikōura, and the Glowworm Cave in Rotorua. Overall, the savings were significant—it basically felt like one activity was free. The only thing to keep in mind is making sure you use all the activities before leaving New Zealand and check the weather so you can adjust your bookings if needed. If you’re planning to do multiple activities, this pass is definitely worth it and saves a lot of money.

I recently went on the Akaroa Dolphins Harbour Nature Cruise, and it was easily the highlight of my trip! If you are a nature lover, this experience is absolutely worth it. The Highlights The wildlife sightings were spectacular. We were incredibly lucky to check off the "big three" of the harbor: Hector’s Dolphins: The absolute stars of the show. Seeing these rare, playful dolphins up close was a magical experience. Albatross: We were treated to the sight of these majestic birds gliding effortlessly over the water. New Zealand Fur Seals: We spotted several seals lounging on the rocks, which added a lovely touch to the coastal scenery. A Quick Tip for Travelers It is worth noting that the sea swell can get quite high once you head out toward the harbor entrance. Overall, the crew was professional, the scenery was breathtaking, and the wildlife encounters were once-in-a-lifetime. I can’t recommend this cruise enough!
